I swear to Christ, when I was in France, I said to myself: PLEASE GOD
PLEASE get me back to my land of 500 channels of pablum, my 24-hour
Walmart, my drivethroughs, my land of fakeness and commercials and
wackiness, because I can't stand this 3rd-world country any more!
I felt like I'd stepped ten years into the past, in terms of
technologies and creature comforts.
But that's just me.
