Hey everyone
I have received several questions refering to the french culture, how do I feel, University here, my plans etc. So i will try to cover everything....
French culture...
Well concerning this field I must admit that perhaps I am not able to see all the differences or special features of the french culture due to the fact I spent here quite a short time..But yes there are some observations I would like to highlight....
French people tend to be either extremly sweet or unbelievably unplesent when they recognize U are not french speaker:)What in my case never take too long:)
Bureaucracy is an essential part of life in France:) I think I will have soon nightmares about those thousands of papers U have to fill for every single stupid request.
If U ask for something extraordinary there is always a big problem. To simplify all the systems and processes U always must!, there are no exceptions, no flexibility...And if U decide to fight against it U finish with thousands of papers again:)
Apart from that I really dont feel like abroad..so far...Most of the things are the same...shops, traffic, means of transport, food, clothes, ...Just prices and language are very different:)
As to the University...Sometimes I have to ask myself if I am really in the building of the Grandes Ecoles (Uni)or in the pub...U asking Why? There is normal real bar in the centre of the main coridor where all the people group during the brakes, the music plays as loudly as U are used to at the disco, students play table socer, ping-pong, billiards(pool)...Something extremly different from our super stylish silent academic atmosphere I am used to in my faculty in Zlin:)
I have started with some of my cours already....
Several of them are not in english as it was promised to us but to my big surprice in french. So its kind of fun to sit 10 hours at the rethinking and new business model creation cours and most of the time have no idea what the man is speaking about.:)but yeh...I am here to improve my french so I hope at the end of the semester I will be able to catch at least 50%:)
How do I feel last days...hm...Thats a difficult one...I would say there are better days when I try to be positive, to smile, to see everything from the better point of view when I know that „the show must go on“ but there are also worse days when I am the weakness person in this world when I cry and cant stop it when I stay in the bed and asking my self why I stayed here without him..what is my role, where is my place in this world...Nothing is easy for my last months but after all bad whiles I have to get up no matter what, persuade myself he is sad when he see me like that and I try to force myself to see again everything from the better side...But its so difficult to find that better side...
For example last weekend was the time I really enjoyed
On the last moment I decided to travel to Switzerland to visit my friend Sarah I ve met in India...Last time we saw each other on new year´s eve in Prague so there was quite a few topics to speak about.
I visitited her place in Legngnau (they have a real farm so I enjoyed the frech milk and all the homemade stuffs), on Saturday Sarah and her brother took me by car to Laussane to their brother´s place. We spend some time in the center, visited Musee d´olimpique and Saturday evening there was a warm up party in Lar´s (sarah brother) new appartement. Sunday on the way back to Legngnau we stoped in the moutains in Gruyare to see the museum of cheese production, we stroll around the small cude town had a lunch and evening I traveled back to Troyes...What a beautifull weekend. Thank U Sarah and Chris..U are more then welcome to visit me in troyes.
...Concerning my plans...During this weekend we want to see Dyjon, next weekend I am going to spend with my parents in Paris and week after I have planned the trip to see my friend Anet in London..So organize yourself check your free weekends and let me know when you are coming to see me:)
Ciao
