So the best part of this experience for me hasn't been the fact that the food here is better, the fashions here are more current, the beaches are near by, or that my French has improved leaps and bounds. It isn't even that my fiancé came to visit, or that I'm in love with French culture.... It is that I have gotten the chance to meet so many different kinds of people from all over the place. Here is a quick list:
I've had housemates from Japan, Switzerland, Sweden and Mississippi.
I've had classmates from Russia, Germany, Ohio, Florida, Canada, Denmark, Australia, England, and Italy.
I've become friends with a Prince of Saudi Arabia, a Turkish fellow, a gentleman from Nouvelle Calédonie and not to mention some amazing Young French people.
Not to mention the people who live in Nice are from everywhere in the world!
The lesson I've learned to love each of these people is well worth all I have sacrificed to be here, even if I never got to improve my French ;)
I feel very humbled because I had many preconceived notions and I would tend to lump everyone from a certain country into the same category but being here has taught me that I still have so much to learn about people. I thought I knew what people from the south are like... But I don't! I never will because every person is different. And I love it.
Thanks for reading!
