So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Fun Times
Wednesday. 9.28.11 11:44 am
{on the way back from lunch, after talking about how many Americans only take a half an hour to eat}
French1: America is ok for Americans, but it's not for Europeans.
French2 [brightly, trying to avoid unpleasantness]: You know Z is an American, she is from Denver.
French1: And?
French2 [changing the subject]: I am going to Boulder in October, maybe you know of a good place to stay?
Me: I'm not very familiar with the hotels there because I'm usually visiting friends. Maybe there is a hostel or something that is cheap?
French1: There are no cheap hotels in the US. They don't have the same cheap hotels like we have.
French2: You went to Boulder?
French1: Yes, I went there, it was horrible.
French2: Oh? I heard it was nice.
French1: Oh, the city is ok, but it's the PEOPLE who are horrible.
French2: Um....
French1: Oh yes, in France the first thing you are taught as a little child is to say "Good day" to someone, but do Americans say this? Nooooo.
French2: Oh really? I usually think of Americans as being overly friendly, like "HI! HOW ARE YOU!!!!"
French1: No, that is not true. The people in Boulder are awful.
Me: We'll, they're hippies....
French1: NO THEY ARE NOT HIPPIES. They are not. They are "bobos" [the french word for hippy is "baba"]
Me: What is a bobo?
French1: It is a person who likes to pretend that they are so cool and like a hippy and into nature but they're actually rich assholes.
Me: Well, that does actually describe people from Boulder pretty well.
French2[brightly]: I heard that Boulder has lots of sports!
Me: Boulder does have a lot of hiking trails and bike trails.
French1: Bobos.
{french1 goes to her office}
Me: Um.... so honestly Boulder is a nice town. I think you'll have a good time there.
French2: Thank-you.

What is it with these snooty french people you meet??

You'd think by now the French would be used to the tourism in their country. Oh well, you just can't please some people.

Muffy is visiting Paris ... that's exciting! You'll be able to meet and watch the jump rope live!

re: His mom has never truly liked me, but it was out of line what she did. She said it wasn't on purpose, but regardless, it was uncalled for. Some people just don't quite know when to avoid certain topics.
