[…] Every time I go to France, I like to take the pulse of the population and to sound out current issues. Graffiti and stickers can be found everywhere, and these little words written or stuck on urban fragments tell a lot about how people feel. […]

Zhu,

It is not that I am not a fan of the Spanish President…it is his politics that I have a small issue with.

LOL you are left-wing, I am centre-right wing…and of course we are still friends, girl!

LOL LOL then rebel away, girl…after all we live in a free world !

@Tulsa Gentleman — thank you, dear gentleman!

@Bluefish —

@shionge — Oh, you have no idea!

@barbara — It does, doesn’t it? French worship May 68’s heritage!

@kyh — Yep, he did… and he does…

@Seraphine — Not sure what they see in each other! I dislike both to be honest.

@Max Coutinho — not a fan of the Spanish President, Max? You are funny!

I’m not an anarchist, even though I’m clearly left-wing. We are still friends, okay?

I wish I could respect the President more and I must say I sometimes admire the way Americans, for instance, stand for their country. But some part of me is still French and I MUST rebel

Hi again,

LOL I watched that video where Monsieur le Président Sarkozy replied to that man in a very harsh way…very unusual, but again the President is the President and the man had it coming *nodding*. This is one of the things I admire in Americans: they have their things, but they respect their President no matter what.

“he recently stated that Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Zapatero was not very smart…” — he may not be far from the truth…*tais toi, Max*…

Oh God…I have an allergy to anarchists…

Anyway, I loved this one too…very funny!

Cheers

haha sarkozy really said that to a person who didn’t want to shake hands? that’s funny.
what does carla bruni see in him? they seem, on the surface, so mismatched.

Salut Zhu,
You found some good ones ! It’s a bit like being back in the era of the Student uprisings in May 69.I wasen’t around in France then but have seen some of the posters or graffitis of the period.Very visual.

BTW, I did my list of things that I miss/don’t miss about my country. I had to think a bit

I find Casse-toi, pauv’ con kind of funny…I always have to guess French slangs…they really amaze me.

I think by saying casse-toi sounds better than saying get the hell out. I bought a book about Quebec slangs…quite funny.

I’m glad you’re improving your reading on my blog…ha…I mainly wrote it so you can understand because if I wrote it in French then the jerk’s wife won’t be happy.

I am certainly to feel distant from Danish expats again…they’re all in their community while I’m left out feeling like an outsider.

So what did you think about my post? :p
