For the second weekend, I went to the fabulous place of Bordeaux, France! I never heard about this place until a friend I made here told me about it. Let me say one thing, it is gorgeous there and I fell in love with the city. Bordeaux is located more south into France and I could see the difference between Northern France, which Nantes is located and Southern France.

Bordeaux to me is way diverse and gave off a L.A. vibe to the city! I took a river cruise overlooking the city and saw the wonderful bridges that were handcrafted! Also took a night open bus tour, touring the city, which was awesome.

OK now let’s talk about the French and how it is different from Americans. I understand that the French is more private and reserved than us Americans. There is little talking on the Tram (which is like a subway), soft-spoken, and it is very difficult to read them. It’s different from America because we are expressive, loud, and very open! But here it is different, but I sort of like it. They really don’t brag about their money or success. The French work to live while Americans live to work! The quality of life here is far more important than money and I respect that of the French culture. But one thing I cannot see eye to eye in France is their lack of efficiency. They take their time with EVERYTHING and it have to be of order. But sometimes it is okay to think outside the box and bend the rules a little bit.

Next stop is to Paris and which I am excited to see. Stay tuned !
