Culture shock of France

"The average Frenchman is warmer
than the average Russian"
I was particularly struck by the fact that when I asked a
Frenchman what a person's body temperature was normal, he
answered me - 37.6. At first I thought that I had translated the
number incorrectly, asked to write on a piece of paper, but no, it is
37.6. Celsius. We took a thermometer and measured. The average
Frenchman is a degree warmer than the average Russian. I was
very surprised! That is, French girls are really hot!
I think this is due to differences in climate. My sister lived for two
years in France, and her temperature remained 36.6.

French women
They are divided into
two types: those who
are very keen on
themselves, and the
second - “we don’t
have much beauty,
but we are stylish,
we have our own
style, so we don’t
give a damn.”

Shoes in the apartment and home clothes
Surprise on arrival caused that when I came
to visit, the owner went in shoes to the
apartment. Apparently, they do not go out
here. They do not have as such home
clothes, they are on the street and at home
in the same clothes, which also struck me.

Kitchen
They have cheeses as a separate dish. They
are served even after desserts. After
dessert, when everyone has eaten, dishes
with cheeses are made. Also, the French
constantly drink when they eat. It is either
water or wine. If it's lunch and you have to
go to work, then it's water. In any
restaurant and cafe, even in a donut, you
can easily ask for a carafe of water. I
already used to eat with water, it helps
digestion quite well.
