Predeparture: Angers (JL)

Pre-departure map


This is interesting because I lived in Paterson until I was 6, then I moved to a town outside Philadelphia.
Red is most similar and blue is most different.
This is the Château d'Angers from the air

My thoughts on foreign perceptions of Americans. My advisor once told me "A person who speaks three languages is a tri-linguist. A person who speaks two languages is a bi-linguist. A person who speaks one language is an American." -P. Wolfe, Allegheny College
I think this mostly sums up what the general perception of Americans is according to foreigners. In my opinion, the most important thing to keep in mind when traveling to a foreign country as an American is to keep an open mind. Keeping an open mind will allow me as a foreigner to better adapt to my surroundings and the people around me.
