  • As a Canadian, I spent eight months living in France a couple years ago. Had nothing but great experiences with people. I had one pharmacist be a little snooty with me. But other than that, they were very helpful regardless and very nice.

    What I realized is that they place a lot of value in their native language and it’s very important to them to speak it clearly and properly whenever possible so they won’t usually hesitate to correct you.

    The vast majority of people were stoked that we were speaking French at all. It’s really changed my perspective on the French language in my own country for the better, to be honest. I just get it now.








  • A sphynx cat and a tortoiseshell cat laying next to each other on a sunny windowsill.

    On the left is Babyman, also known as Chickenman. He has two names because he’s either a babyman where he’s all cuddly and wants to be cozy or he’s a Chickenman because he looks like an uncooked chicken as he runs like a madman all over the house when he’s hyper.

    On the right is Freyja. Typically goes by ‘Frey’, but when she’s in a hyper mood (which is extremely rare) we call her ‘Turbo Cylinder’ because she’s very tubular in shape at high speed.
