Culture Shock

Now that I have been in Paris for close to two weeks I have noticed a lot of things that I am not used to. For example, the amount of people who smoke in Paris is outstanding and how they live so long is amazing. I was shocked to see how many people dressed in black when I am walking around in bright colors. Since everyone is hourly, service here is extremely slow and they really don't care as much as the customer as they do back home which I found out to be frustrating. Anyway, that is just some things that have shocked me so far and I'm sure many more things will pop up during my stay.

A little about me

Hey, my name is Eddie Smith and I am a sophomore accounting major at Clemson University.  I am from Cincinnati, Ohio and I transferred to Clemson this past year. After finally adjusting to life in the south I decided to study abroad in Europe where I will be spending the next 4.5 months.
