But I do get that feeling of not wanting to go back to regular life... even my SKIN is breaking out, resisting the return to the day-to-day.ms. v.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16032352563527935021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516000.post-1140944428881182592006-02-26T01:00:00.000-08:002006-02-26T01:00:00.000-08:00Other than chocolate and bread, I am also a Fanta ...Other than chocolate and bread, I am also a Fanta lover. In Paris, back in 2000, I came to really love the stuff. When I got home to Seattle, I was disappointed but not surprised that it wasn't in stores. When I came to New York, however, they did have it. I was happy.<BR/><BR/>Have you tried the "greenz" <BR/>Fanta? It's my favorite. Nothing natural, pure chemical but so good.<BR/><BR/>I have lived In the US for a little over a year and a half. I put in all my efforts to love the people and the cultur (yes there is an american cultur). When I came back it took about 6 months for people to stop believe I was american. I did not want to go back in my "french skin" I hated it. I am back in it and I stilll hate it, the difference is that my american experience taught me to deal with the things that disturb me or hurt me. I feel grateful for this experience which made me stronger and more confident. But one thing is still hard: trying to explain. I totally understand your feeling about stupid questions or comments. I don't get the same here but I got some. I have found a way to avoid them. I try to keep it for myself like a secret. It is my secret garden (but for my friends who of course are smart enough to ask smart questions :-). I hope to go back in two years.<BR/><BR/>You miss Fanta? I miss Doctor Pepper so bad...and Jello! British jelly is just not the same. I miss DP, Jello, bagels and Ranch Dressing (well I have a little supply but I try to save it as much as I can)Gwennaƫllehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539342691391499970noreply@blogger.com
