Subtle differences 3

1- Kids can say "merde" and "plutant" in their elementary school classes.

2- Banks. It takes a day to open your bank account but a week to get an ATM card. Then another damn week to get your Visa Cleo, a credit card. Then when you want to close your account they hassel you and make you go to different places in Paris just to get your damn money.

3- Graph paper. There is no single ruled paper in all of France. Everything is graph paper, which is great for any type of design, engineering, architecture kid, but seriously, it just doesnt look right when writing a serious letter on silly graph paper now does it?
