We Don't All Smell Bad and Have Funny Mustaches...

Living in the United States of America was a dream--a dream that came true a year ago when I officially became a student at Simpson College, IA. Having the opportunity to live here allows me to see for myself what makes America one of the most popular and desired countries in the world.

First of all, I would like to clarify something. French people LIKE Americans and America. Do I have to remind you that the US Army "saved" us during World War II? Probably not since some of my American friends think that the French flag is all white! We love the American culture that brings us TV shows, music, and Blockbuster movies. Have you guys ever seen a French blockbuster movie?...Me neither! 

Saying that the French flag is white raises one of many stereotypes that face French people in the US. We apparently smell bad, as evidenced by the famous character Pepe le Pew. You should know that we take more showers than the average American; at least, that has been my experience living with three Americans. 

And for the American guys, French girls are NOT hairy, and some of them pay more attention to grooming than American girls. So, if you ever have a shot with a French girl, go for it! We are the people of love.

And I should mention that America owes France a lot. We fought for your freedom in the Revolutionary War. If you don't believe me, just ask Mel Gibson. He was there.
