For those who were wondering what Madame looks like...essentially ET in drag

DAY 1: FEED ME

The first day I got to Paris Madame showed me around the neighborhood where I would be staying.  I had been pretty hungry and just gotten off a long flight, so I was looking forward to dinner later and trying some french cuisine.  On our neighborhood walk she pointed out the nearest McDonald's and asked if I would like to go there for dinner.  

*INSERT FACE-PALM HERE*

No Madame, America runs on Dunkin, not McD's.  WHAT IS THIS AMATEUR HOUR?

Pourqoui?

Bonjour mes amis,

I am a 19 year old college student studying abroad in Paris, France.  I live here with a 70 year old widow, Madame, (who speaks no english) in an apartment smaller than a french woman's waist.  It's a bit of a culture shock, and our language barrier makes for some pretty great stories.  Some friends said I should write these stories down, so here I am.  Enjoy, I wish I could be making some of this up.
