This video was so insightful and fun! You ladies have such warm, incandescent energy. After my time in France, I noticed that the Parisian people especially were slow burners, so to speak. They could be a bit more cool and reserved and that is totally okay. In the states, a cool and reserved temperament is often interpreted as arrogant or even that something is wrong with the person. My personality is on the reserved side and here in Florida, I get asked all the time "Are you okay?" Usually, I'm totally fine, but the expectation is that you should ideally have a huge smile on your face and be uber-delighted by everything and everyone. I got the impression that the French find that quality artificial and off-putting, as do I. I love that the French are overall more natural in their greetings and interactions without any forced bubbliness, which can honestly be exhausting.

I've only been to France once in the late 90s, but the #1 thing I couldn't adapt to very well was the lack of ice. Even if you get it, it wasn't enough and it was half melted. I was visiting in September and it was unusually hot. Getting a non-alcoholic drink was more expensive than if I wanted beer or wine! I think I paid $9 for a French version of 7-Up with a modicum of ice. Worth every penny. Also, the lack of AC was a thing for me. Even in the Louvre it was stifling! Inconveniences aside, we had a wonderful time. Beautiful country.

@@honas908 It's really a difference in HOW to make friends..... idk how the French do it but in the US, making REAL friends is difficult. Europeans tend to mistake the "American Friendliness" with "I actually want to be a close friend." For Americans, it's just being polite. Friendships are formed by seeing the person often enough to actually have enough superficial conversations to eventually break into more personal conversations that eventually develops into a solid friendship.... even then, the friendship could end at any time with or without notice.

Il est interdit de mettre l'air conditionné dans le métro car usagers peuvent tomber malade à cause des allergies ou coup de froid et donc la responsabilité de l'état serait engagé.
