...is that you cannot spend your every waking hour hanging out in the divine 'Figaro,' nibbling croissants, drinking colossal café au laits, listening to Edith Piaf and thinking "Sacre bleu, this place really does look like a French café,"
- because that would be very sad,
- because you have moved to Los Angeles to experience the American dream firsthand, not pretend you're in Paris,
- because if you did then you'd look like all the other French ex-pats congregating there afraid of the unknown that comes in the shape of pancakes, tall coffees and rock music,
- because, well, French people don't really say "Sacre bleu" either.
Damnit.

But isn't Barack saying you have to be a diverse nation uniting all the different cultures? Well then, the French culture has a part to play. Anyway, what sensible person would give up French food and drink in favour of hot dogs, heart-rotting doughnuts and Coke?
I wish there were more places like that here....
French people don't say "sacre bleu"?.... i don't know what to believe anymore....
Nick- of course, it's one of the things i like about the states- that you can find almost everything here, i like choice not exclusivity. But if one only wants to eat french food why doesn't one stay in france?
Pinkjelly- hmm, spain isn't the best for diversity is it?
less tall- and they don't say 'zut alors' either. but they do say 'oh la la' a lot. (i'm basing all of these assertions on the major of course.)
