Back in Action

Okay, so I've been delinquent in my blogging duties over the past few days. Just haven't had a lot to say and have been busy in the lab. By the way, I recently bought a one-way ticket to the 'States that's good for July 30th. So my French-themed blogging ways will be coming to an end in the near future. I wonder what I will write about then? Kidneys? Do you people really want to hear about kidneys every day?

Back to the Battle of my 2 Favorite Countries. Next topic: Public Transportation. Although I've been ridiculed by many Frenchies for saying that one of the things I'll miss the most about Paris is the Metro, I stand by my statement. In Philadelphia--the 5th largest city in the U.S.--every time I tried to take the subway, I ended up waiting for the train longer than it would have taken me to bike or walk to my destination. The Paris Metro is so sweet because it arrives every 3 to 5 minutes. The convenience alone is more than enough to compensate for sweaty, packed Metro cars and bad accordion music. Not to mention that France's train system is vastly superior to America's. The frogs tie things up at 6.5 points apeice.

French for the Day: A rhyme for children to sing when it's raining outside: "Il pleut, il mouille; c'est la fête à la grenouilles". (It's raining, it's pouring; it's the party of the frogs).
