Starting to notice the little things

OK, so this post isn't very exciting but, I'm staring to notice the little things that make these two great countries... different. pour example, tout en Suisse est plus petit, except the walks. the walks are really really long. i have a theory that the countries are really proportionally sized. since Suisse is so small, so is everything inside it (the cars, the stores, the houses, the steak). OK, so you know how things that are smaller work faster? (cats can run faster than humans, giant things in movies seem to move really slow etc) well its the same concept here. people in Switzerland walk, talk and drive twice as fast as in the states. I think part of that is because Americans are really lazy, but yeah... it makes sense proportionally.

Aussi, the language is really different as well (and i don't just mean the words themselves). did you know that in french, there is a word for "look out, there is something dangerous that could injure and or kill you so you should pay close attention to what i am about to tell you next"? It's Attention. I know what you are thinking, we have that word too, but we don't use it like they do. they can say attention, voiture... or attention, ton belle-mere and people immediately understand and act accordingly. that is so cool, but at the same time, they don't have a word for why or please. the have to use pour quoi (for what) and S'il vous plait (if you like)

I have to wonder what my accent sounds like. you know how there are lose accents that are like "ahh, i just wanna dunk you in my coffee" like Australian accents, Chinese accents, or some people from the south. and then there are the obnoxious accents like the Italians that make you wanna puke. I wonder if my accent is more on the "adorable" side or the "shoot me in the head with a large caliber sniper rifle" side.

I don't know how they planned this out but everywhere i go, everyone has the same type of windows and blinds. sometimes i wonder if i was in a car accident, and now im in a coma, and that's why every thing is the same. but in that case, how is my mind creating all of this french linguistic knowlege, that i was supposed to learn in class but goofed around instead.

My host brother likes the slinky that i brought him and I can hear him playing with it right know. Oh- Its so crazy, I dont know how he does it, but he is a sou-vent with a Rubik's cube. it's so intense, you can mix it up for ten minuets, till there is no way that the Rain Man could figure it out. you can hand it to him, and literally in 30 seconds or less he can solve it. it seems physically impossible, but he does it, again and again and again.

Anyway, je pense i am supposed to be doing something, so ill talk at you later

Salut!
