And sure, French women are normal, but do are a little more sophisticated when they go out. I was paying way more attention to my look when I was living in Paris and I would be ashamed to be dressed like I usually dress in the US. Good side of the US : it's more comfortable !!! <br /><br />Anyway, it's really fun to see your point of vue !Il est 20h à LAhttp://ilest20hapasadena.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20775625.post-40797466921438033002014-01-05T15:12:43.485+01:002014-01-05T15:12:43.485+01:00Dark Amber

I was expecting the world from their hot chocolate given all the praise (e.g. http://www.thekitchn.com/the-best-hot-chocolate-on-eart-128019). But I was dismayed because what was served fell far short of my expectations. I find that making the stuff at home is far better because you get to control what chocolate you put into the mixture and what kind of milk or otherwise that you can use. The world of bean to bar chocolate has advanced so much that you are better off just eating the stuff at home...or am I just too difficult to please???Dark Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07292887668493235112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20775625.post-48676361215308996922013-12-14T17:40:21.137+01:002013-12-14T17:40:21.137+01:00La Torontoise

Enjoy!<br /><br />Igor<br />Thanks so much!

In my previous (Toront...Loulou, can not agree more!<br />In my previous (Toronto-based) life, I got plenty of opportunities to master the phone conversation thing as my employer had business units in Quebec; so, calling someone in Montreal, or better - in Rimouski or Quebec City, was an educational exercise I'd never forget. I felt privileged to get some intense practice in business settings before calling France a long-term goal. <br /><br />Have a great advent time!<br /><br />P.S.
