Hello there, as you all know, i've been in France for more than 3 weeks now. And in these 3 weeks, i've noticed some interesting things that i would like to share with you guys. Haha.
1. First of all, they have a big problem with cash. Seriously. If you go to a shop, sometimes they don't accept your cash cos it's too big. And so, you have to find an alternative. You can either use your bank card (which you don't have when you're new there), or you can ask for it from your friends. So yea, there are a few erm.. cases where i don't have small money and so, i have to go around and ask my friends if they have small money. yep, it could make a the line become chaotic. But nah.. i'm sure the French don't mind. Considering how chaotic their airport is. But once you get used to the system.. yea.. things are ok.
2. Deuxièmement! There are dog shit everywhere! My gosh. Seriously, i hate this so much. it really kills your appetite to see dog shit near the restaurant where you're eating or when you're going to eat. And you spend a lot of time looking down to scan for dog shit till you didn't notice how beautiful the sky is. Like today, i just noticed that the rooftops of the building here are nice. I like to see those small chimney on the rooftops. Maybe they should design a spectacles that can scan for dog shit here. Or better, just educate them to pick it up when their dog pooped.
3. Public toilet! God knows that they have a really big problem with it here. The other day, i went to Nice, and then, i wanted to go to the toilet. And we looked for it everywhere. They do have it in the restaurant. I went to MCD. There is a toilet there. But the toilet is locked. you need a security code to go to the toilet. Where to get the code? In your receipt. Meaning you have to buy something from them in order to use it. It's good idea. Seriously. You wouldn't want the public to use your toilet freely and your establishment is the one who have to pay for it. But it kinda give you the impression that using the toilet here is as hard as penetrating into the President's office. Because of the limited number of public toilet here, the alley smells like pee. And whe n i was at the beach, i saw some people who peed in the sea. Pretty uncivilised for someone who claimed to be one of the greatest civilisation now eh?
So yea, that's all for now i guess. France is not that bad actually. These are just small stuffs i guess. But if you're planning to go here, just watch your step. You wouldn't want to bring back a lil souvenir from the man's best friend here.
Bye.
Hahahaha. You sound like the Malaysian Stephen Clarke :p I think I read about the dog poop in one of his books. He mentioned that the character in his book used a plastic bag to wrap his shoe in. that's pretty interesting, if you were walking around with plastic bag over your shoes. haha. Funny blog post :) and your blog post title sounds like something from The Big Bang Theory episode title. Classy ;)
