Title: How French Are You?
Post by: garbon on April 09, 2014, 06:53:59 PM
For Valmy :hug:

I got:
QuoteYou're as French as Sex and the City's last episode. You may know France fairly well. You may even be in France right now. But you've only scratched the surface of what it means to be French. You have yet to feel the existential angst that comes with it.

QuoteYou're as French as Jean Dujardin eating camembert on the Canal Saint Martin. You're pretty French. You know good food and good wine and although you're a pessimist who complains a lot, you always know how to enjoy life.

    You're as French as the fake Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas. You're probably a sweet, enthusiastic and optimistic human being, and that's precisely why France isn't a place for you. Try Belgium instead.

You're as French as a sarcastic socialist eating foie gras during a strike. Congratulations! You are fabulously French!

Man I love stinky cheese, Foie Gras, raw oysters, snails, and baguettes.  Damn quiz made me hungry.

I'm so ashamed I've never gone on strike (or even joined a union), though I have refused to cross a picket line :blush:

Going on strike is great!  Still don't know why we were striking.  The whole thing ended as nonsensically as it began.

I took part in a demonstration once that I don't recall what it was about because I never did. Someone handed me some flyers and I stood there handing them out and greeting people. :D

The first time I came to New York was with my sister and mother. We went to go to the MoMA where there were workers on strike. My mother said something dismissive, as we walked in, to the strikers who yelled at her about the example she was setting for her children.

Was rather formative on my thoughts about strikes. :blush:

I accidentally joined a strike in Italy and ended up in a protest of some sort every other week in Buenos Aires. Italy is also where I went to Communist festival - and it was great :lol:

I think in this case you'd be Napoleon.
