Things I learned from the CIP about France:
Always have your wrists on the table when eating.
Don't take a shower after sexual assault.
Don't let a guy buy you a drink.
I will have to try blood sausage.
There will be no heat in the house and I will have to take 5 minute showers.
Things I will learn once I get there:
(more)French Culture.
(more)French Language.
My ability to adapt and function without people I know and love.
W curve, here I come.

I'm not going back to carnivorism permanently, but in order to be polite to my host family I will probably have to at least try some meat.
Erin!!!
I am honored that I made your links among such elite sites as the thrion project, and I will put your site on my blog (just as immediately as I figure out how to do that...I dont think I am as computer'ly literate as you.) Hope you have a great time, I know you will!!! Keep us all updated and enjoy the cheese.
hugs and kisses
