Only in France...

...will I eat a "galette des rois" (King's cake for epiphany) at the cafeteria and happen to pick the slice with the "feve" (the hidden treasure) and think its cheese inside because its white. Will I go to the grocery store named "Les mousquetaires" (the Musketeers) to have a man dressed like one at the checkout talking into a microphone like its some kind of auction and handing out pieces of the galette des rois. Will the mall close its stores for a day to prepare for the after Christmas sales where people become vultures for bargains. And it lasts for six weeks, that's not a sale, that's a season! Will it be 14.5 degrees celsius in January...definitely not in Michigan! Although I think this is due to global warming!
On another note its been nice to meet back up with the other assistants, of course at our pub Le Chantier. Our group just kept growing and growing and as we walked to Dirty Old Town towards the end of the night we noticed that the American Pub next door had nobody, we have even drawn the French crowds to our bars..unless its anti-American sentiment haha!
