Depends on where you're living, I can tell you that! I would personally NEVER do that, but It was something common where I was living, especially on sundays mornings at the bakery.

There has to be a "juste milieu" between American over-friendliness and French aloofness. French people are terrified of talking to strangers or having someone talk to them, but when they visit the US, they rave about how friendly people are.
@@UnintentionallyFrenchified That's strange hearing that you cant find a grocery store opened on sunday in PARIS. Every sunday morning , biggest grocery store are opened : auchan leclerc carrefour.... and i Live in a little city of 100K people.
5:00 when you talk about gems... well, we dont really have them in Europe. When I was a child, when I dropped a sandwich, I believed I had 5 sec to pick it up before anything sticks to it.
Maybe it is just being in California, but I see a huge variety of styles and cheeses for Mac n Cheese if you're going to a sit-down restaurant. "California Cuisine" is sort of a mix of American, French and Asian styles, so the variety is endless....except for the fact that you will get avocado with it. :)
"American teeth" 😂😂😂 You cracked me up!! Like they have more or they are different!! Straighter and whiter, for sure. Definitely a good habit we should pick up in France. But dental care is sooo expensive (and we are so used to oay so little for our health in general that spending money on dental care is not something we are used to).
Walking with sweatpants outdoors is such an American thing. Only lower class people do that in Europe, and I don't say that in a judgmental way but only as an observation.
It is interesting that in America you dress up for work usually and after work you dress down. In Scandinavia you wouldn't dress that formally for work but if you are going out on a social event you would dress up, for the occasion so to speak. Funny how different cultures are.
I've only been to France once in the late 90s, but the #1 thing I couldn't adapt to very well was the lack of ice. Even if you get it, it wasn't enough and it was half melted. I was visiting in September and it was unusually hot. Getting a non-alcoholic drink was more expensive than if I wanted beer or wine! I think I paid $9 for a French version of 7-Up with a modicum of ice. Worth every penny. Also, the lack of AC was a thing for me. Even in the Louvre it was stifling! Inconveniences aside, we had a wonderful time. Beautiful country.
Great episode! Kate has mentioned a few times how she hates the smell of certain cheeses in the fridge. My MIL has a tupperware 'cheese keeper'. I'm going to get one when I move there. It holds all the smell inside, until you take it out and open it up. Then you're like, 'who cut the cheese?' LOL
k. monteil... a salon great idea!!!!! I have a huge issue when you open the fridge and it makes the house smell like the worst gas 🤪 can not handle it! Designated tupperware would be perfect!!
Hey ! I was going to comment the same ! My mum uses a boite à fromage from Vitrine Magique, very easy to find and get delivered (though I would advise you keep all the cheeses wrapped, not like in the picture on their online shop). Love your videos, keep them coming our way ;) Happy cheese eating !
I'm with you regarding the "voice fry" . She's doing a lot lately!! Probably ok for a certain age viewers. Still, her videos have excellent, useful content.
I agree about everything except the part about making friends. It's not necessarily easier for immigrants to make American friends in the US. Most have little interest in meeting people from other cultures, which isn't really the case with French people.
I am doing a masters degree in America, and I completely disagree! Having lived in both countries, Americans are much much friendlier to foreigners, and just strangers in general. The French have better bakeries though =)
@@honas908 It's really a difference in HOW to make friends..... idk how the French do it but in the US, making REAL friends is difficult. Europeans tend to mistake the "American Friendliness" with "I actually want to be a close friend." For Americans, it's just being polite. Friendships are formed by seeing the person often enough to actually have enough superficial conversations to eventually break into more personal conversations that eventually develops into a solid friendship.... even then, the friendship could end at any time with or without notice.
Just in case, about Asians in Paris. Paris 13ème Asian area was formed in the mid 1970's, after the end of the Vietnam war ! Paris Belleville, métro = Belleville was formed in the end of 1980's, after the China mainland opened to the outside world !
What's the deal with mac & cheese in the U.S. ? In France it's typically a meal for kids. Not refined for grown-ups. Also at 4:51 about the "germ" phobia, typical American reaction where everything needs to be aseptized. Germs aren't so bad in a way.
We LOVE mac and cheese in the states. There are lots of gourmand mac and cheese for adults. It's completely acceptable to eat as an adult! And i wouldnt say that i have a problem against germs but i wouldnt put my bread down on the bus seat because its just gross. To each his own though :)
@@UnintentionallyFrenchified I'm not saying it's unacceptable and that wouldn't shock me to eat but I'd rather have spaghetti with pesto and parmesan cheese any day. When you buy a baguette tradition at the boulangerie, it is always wrapped in a special paper bag.
Leo Light - US-Americans in general aren’t refined or sophisticated (no offence), many US-American adults act like children so it’s not surprising they eat mac and cheese. Have you see the way they cut up their food? Literally like children.
"Red or White wine?" You'll only make it to the top of "frenchyness" when you'll know that the only appropriate answer actually is: "it depends on the food that goes with it". (The only alternative answer to that same question being: "Champagne, of course!")
The thing about bread was the first thing I thought of when it comes to true stereotypes lol... I’ve been living in Bretagne for over a year now, originally from the US :)
France is so so rich in geography and agriculture ! Bretagne is part of it only ! You should see more ! That's why French people's have the tendency of "CocoRico" ! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!!! There are so many France régional video in UA-cam !
You haven't seen the best yet ! Wait until lucky enough, when the strike becomes more and more and more...... severe, the French Army will drive you home ! It's not a joke ! It happened once in the middle of 1980's, the François MITTERRAND'S era ! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!!!
Yeah .... you put stinky cheese in a tupperware ... it help indeed to make it more stinky. It is better to use a "terracotta cheese bell" ( Google translator ) , I mean, a REAL ONE, to keep your cheese out of the fridge : no smell, and you can keep different cheese together ( well, a "Maroilles" alone should be better ^^ or with some cheddar to make it tasty )
How fun. It's interesting that things. have not changed much re: an American in Paris. I was a student in Paris a while ago. I know it is left bank vs right bank but the basics how the french people treat Americans do not seem to have changed.. Voila quoi
I don't think its probably changed that much since you were studying in Paris. The French are ahead in a lot of things, but change I wouldn't say is a highlight ;)
What shocks me the most with Americans is when they don't say in groceries : bonjour, merci , bonne journée.. even here sometimes the cashier plays the role of the social worker lol that's a bit upsetting when you're in a hurry
Puisque vous faites allusion à la tenue vestimentaire des français, il me semble impossible de ne pas préciser que plus personne ne porte le béret en France depuis les années 60, sauf peut-être encore un peu dans le Bėarn dont ce couvre chef est originaire et certains corps d'armée à l'occasion de parades militaires.
I remember whhen I was younger I always dreamt of living in France. But now that I’m older, I realize there are too many things that I like from here in the US that I don’t think France has. I like my big portioned fast foods, big stores, cross country driving, using a car for just about anything that has to be done outside of home, and my guns! I may consider living in France a year or two just to satisfy my curiosity tho.
La ligne 13 est clairement la pire, avec la 4 , mais pour la clim, il me semble que la 14 est climatisée ( à confirmer par les utilisateurs ) . Sinon, la clim c'est pas très populaire en France
Mmmm, je l'utilise tous les jours et je n'ai jamais fait attention... Je vais sûrement vérifier lundi. XD Sinon, il y a la clim' sur la ligne 5 et c'est assez récent.
They say that the French are very rude! I had absolutely no problem in Paris. Actually they , specially the senior people, were helping. So, am guessing that it depends on u as well 🙏❤️
I'm glad you think that lol! In my experience, I had way more issues with rude people in France which is my home country than in the US. So I do get why french people are seen as rude. Even working in fast food as a student was a pain in France because of people rudeness, that was an everyday, if not every hour matter. Now in the US, still working in a place where I meet hundreds or thousands of guests a day, I rarely have issues with rude people, if it happen it's a once a month problem
Il est interdit de mettre l'air conditionné dans le métro car usagers peuvent tomber malade à cause des allergies ou coup de froid et donc la responsabilité de l'état serait engagé.
Ca doit etre pour ca que meme les maisons de retraite n'ont pas d'air conditionne et que les vieux tombent comme des mouches des qu'il y a une canicule.
Bring your cheese in the subway so you will have natural air conditioning 😂 because all the people around you will go far away from the stinking cheese 👍 French tip 😄
I hate how everywhere in France, when you buy a baguette, the paper bag where it comes in never covers the whole baguette... And then people just put it anywhere and everywhere with that uncovered part of the bread just laying on the dirty surface... Disgusting.
Hahha, it bothers me too, but people think that makes me too much of a germaphobe. But I can't help but cringe when i think of how dirty the top of that baguette is!
the story about screwdriver sounds so fake and stereotyped... You find them in any supermarket and in any "home depot"-style stores. I don't live in a big city and I know multiple places where I can find a screwdriver at 5 minutes from my place.
Il y a des sous titres en français. Si vous étés français, vous voyez le titre en français mais si vous êtes anglophone, le litre est en anglais. C'est plutôt UA-cam qui gère cela!
Aouch ! Understanding how you study France, and points you get from ... Hurts quite a bit ! Why you don't ask for screwdrivers at the restaurant like the normal folks ? Whatsoever that door is keyed close, you won't have that great opening with a screwdriver ! Try with fries ! 🤔😌😁😎 🍾😇 Nevermind
Ahh , it's not supposed to hurt! It's just different. I'll do a video on american stereotypes so you can see all the things I cringe at when i go home now :)
@@UnintentionallyFrenchified Sounds fair to me ... A dedicated deserved video ! Anyone to notice services are bills included ? Anything else about fee ? It's not supposed to ... But, most of us "French" travellers are not that educated nor conscious about habits, norms, and implemented means but ours . Malheureusement, le commun des voyageurs en terre étrangère reste la propension, la tendance a ce regrouper, se retrouver par, a minima : la langue . Et, ce n' est pas que, ou exclusif, aux français . Je comprend on ne peut mieux les exprimés, étant attaché aux droits du sol qui, eux, liaient, légitimaient, justifiaient . De fait . C'est douloureux, et, vous n' êtes pas mise en cause en l' espèce.

Why is it always in Paris?????There is so much more to France than Paris!I love Alsace...….Lyon has a lot of beauty to it.UMMM and Champagne. Rheims is lovely.Get out of Paris!!!
About AC. How to heat earth? 1/ produce AC engine 2/ produce electricity to power the AC 3/ extract heath from inside and release il outside 4/ clean the AC engine from bacterias You are killing the climate with AC
Quand vous parlez de Paris en disant que c'est une "ville superbe", j'ai le regret de vous dire non ! Ce n'est plus la ville ou il fait bon vivre, Paris est de plus en plus sale, on ne peut plus circuler, il y a des drogués est des SDF partout, l'insécurité et la violence sont en hausse exponentielle due à une immigration massive et incontrôlé, il y a beaucoup plus de pollution qu'avant, et la gestion de la ville est une véritable catastrophe. Non, je suis désolé, mais Paris n'est plus la plus belle ville du monde.
One of the few thing you can actually check with actual datas. French people are actually one of the most productive people in the oecd. time.com/4621185/worker-productivity-countries/
I wouldn't say they are lazy at all! I woudl say they work hard to get a good amount of time to appreciate life. We can learn so much from the French about work life balance!
Stereotypes can of course be an exagerration at times, but really just chatting about how it feels jumping into a new culture! Maybe it was easier for you! I've been in France 10 years and still have those off moments!
Americans are consumers ,french are citizens. Yes , like you, the french working in the service deserve to have a week-end to have a social life too . A concept of the materialistic American mentally can not get!
Interesting concept! When i worked in the service industry, i would only work 1 day a month on the weekends. The shifts were split so that we werent working most weekends and the stores could still stay open. I'd have to say as a consumer and an old service worker, I prefer this way!
I was expecting something more profound at some point but that stayed incredibly superficial. You shouldn't have stuck to the questions people asked; they don't know what's interesting.
@@elizewyn Pour votre gouverne... faisons un peu d'histoire !! En 1066 après la conquête Normande, et mise en place une administration francophone... La français était devenu la langue de la cour. L' anglais n'a cessé d'être nourri du français depuis cette époque !! Selon des études linguistiques, plus d'un tiers du vocabulaire anglais actuel est d'origine française.. Les mots d'origine française représentent plus des deux tiers du vocabulaire anglais... Vous pouvez vérifier !! Un homme politique du début du 20 S dixit : [ L' Anglais est du Français mal parlé !!] Il n'est pas faux, que de nombreux français ne parlent pas bien l' anglais...Mais proportionnellement, le monde anglo-saxons ( England, USA, Canada saxon, Australia, etc ..) parlent peu d'autres langues étrangères mise à part les gens issues d'autres ethnies... Simple constat !! Et j'ai des origines anglo-saxonne et écossaise ..
@@jamespower7130 the US being Anglo-Saxon makes no sense. Most people from European heritage in the US are German, Irish, Scottish, or Spanish. The originally colonists that became the US were from England though they made up a small amount of the immigrant population, especially over time. Most everyone in the Americas has heritage from people's of Spain, Ireland, and Scotland before anywhere else, and in the US Germany makes up the most common family heritage, though of course we are all mixed
Je le sais pour votre gouverne !! J’ ai fait de l’ histoire des religions et de la théologie.. Vous avez des origines Anglo-saxones par my heritage !! Smile.. moi , c’ est récent...
Personne ne s'étonne plus de voir une personne en survêtement dans la rue, en tous cas, pas en province, par contre les courses en pyjamas, vous risquez que des gens appellent les "hommes en blanc".
Elle connait trop la culture française pour confondre. C'est connu que certains américains sortent faire le courses en tenue de nuit. Par contre nombre de français les font en jogging, et alors ? La moitié des NIke sont achetés par des buveurs de bière ventripotents pour aller faire les courses le samedi avec Bobone...
Hey! If you’ve got any impressions or habits after your first year abroad, let me know below!! ✌🏻😊
If you wore pyjamas in the street in France, I guess people would call the police. They’d thought you just escaped from an asylum or a jail.
Sometimes I dare to wear them out when im just running to the neighbors, but I always feel so guilty!
Depends on where you're living, I can tell you that! I would personally NEVER do that, but It was something common where I was living, especially on sundays mornings at the bakery.
This video was so insightful and fun! You ladies have such warm, incandescent energy. After my time in France, I noticed that the Parisian people especially were slow burners, so to speak. They could be a bit more cool and reserved and that is totally okay. In the states, a cool and reserved temperament is often interpreted as arrogant or even that something is wrong with the person. My personality is on the reserved side and here in Florida, I get asked all the time "Are you okay?" Usually, I'm totally fine, but the expectation is that you should ideally have a huge smile on your face and be uber-delighted by everything and everyone. I got the impression that the French find that quality artificial and off-putting, as do I. I love that the French are overall more natural in their greetings and interactions without any forced bubbliness, which can honestly be exhausting.
Thanks! Glad you enjoy the energy. I love how you describe them as slow burners. It's perfect!
Thank you! I never understand why my American friends ask me if I am OK. I am fine, really!
I’m not french but I’m like that too; usually reserved. So it helped me adjust well and make friends later on when I used to live in Paris.
you got it Dear, mostly we do like to be ourself, in our true day mood.
There has to be a "juste milieu" between American over-friendliness and French aloofness. French people are terrified of talking to strangers or having someone talk to them, but when they visit the US, they rave about how friendly people are.

I'm glad you think that lol! In my experience, I had way more issues with rude people in France which is my home country than in the US. So I do get why french people are seen as rude. Even working in fast food as a student was a pain in France because of people rudeness, that was an everyday, if not every hour matter. Now in the US, still working in a place where I meet hundreds or thousands of guests a day, I rarely have issues with rude people, if it happen it's a once a month problem
Aurore à Miami I reckon Parisiens are more likely to be rude, much less in the countryside .
❤️
Great video!
Thanks David!
Il est interdit de mettre l'air conditionné dans le métro car usagers peuvent tomber malade à cause des allergies ou coup de froid et donc la responsabilité de l'état serait engagé.
Wow! Je savais pas, interesting!
Non ! C'est l'opion personnel ça ! La ligne A de RER est Air Conditionné depuis toujours !
Ce n'est pas une opinion personnelle, c'est un agent de la ratp qui me la confirmer. Renseignez-vous. Le RER est géré par la SNCF !
faux il y a juste une différence de température a respecter entre l’extérieur et l’intérieur du métro !!!!
Ca doit etre pour ca que meme les maisons de retraite n'ont pas d'air conditionne et que les vieux tombent comme des mouches des qu'il y a une canicule.
If you leave out of Paris yes it’s mainly closed on Sunday’s .
Why does every one complain about the smell of cheese in the refrigirator ? just put the cheese in a box !
Maybe a lot of people just don't so it's standard for it to smell. But we do officially have a cheese box for our own fridge now!
Great!
Thanks Lori! :)
Bring your cheese in the subway so you will have natural air conditioning 😂 because all the people around you will go far away from the stinking cheese 👍 French tip 😄
ahhahaha, that is one smart, strategic move Samuel!
Nooooo!!
Wearing PJ outdoors is not completely fine, not even in US
Haha it should be a faux pas, but where im from, its not! lol
I hate how everywhere in France, when you buy a baguette, the paper bag where it comes in never covers the whole baguette... And then people just put it anywhere and everywhere with that uncovered part of the bread just laying on the dirty surface... Disgusting.
Hahha, it bothers me too, but people think that makes me too much of a germaphobe. But I can't help but cringe when i think of how dirty the top of that baguette is!
I love your videos ❤️ but what is that mechanical grinding noise in all of your videos? It's a bit distracting from your great content 👍🏻
Hello 😎 les Girls 😎venez nous voir à Marseille 😋
Avec plaisir!
The woman on the left reminds me of Jenna Haze :P

Thanks!
Hello Apu I want to go from Dubai to France how to go a little tell me a little help
I'm French and haven't bought a baguette in 30 years except for my grandma once. Americans are obsessed by it
the story about screwdriver sounds so fake and stereotyped... You find them in any supermarket and in any "home depot"-style stores. I don't live in a big city and I know multiple places where I can find a screwdriver at 5 minutes from my place.
I think the screwdriver was more of a metaphor, but in any case, point taken!
Pourquoi est-ce que le titre et la description sont en français alors que la vidéo est en anglais ?
Il y a des sous titres !
Il y a des sous titres en français. Si vous étés français, vous voyez le titre en français mais si vous êtes anglophone, le litre est en anglais. C'est plutôt UA-cam qui gère cela!
@@UnintentionallyFrenchified ok, merci de votre réponse.
Xin chào , chúc hai bạn luôn vui vẻ
Aouch !
Understanding how you study France, and points you get from ...
Hurts quite a bit !
Why you don't ask for screwdrivers at the restaurant like the normal folks ?
Whatsoever that door is keyed close, you won't have that great opening with a screwdriver !
Try with fries !
🤔😌😁😎 🍾😇
Nevermind
Ahh , it's not supposed to hurt! It's just different. I'll do a video on american stereotypes so you can see all the things I cringe at when i go home now :)

Sounds fair to me ...
A dedicated deserved video !
Anyone to notice services are bills included ?
Anything else about fee ?
It's not supposed to ...
But, most of us "French" travellers are not that educated nor conscious about habits, norms, and implemented means but ours .
Malheureusement, le commun des voyageurs en terre étrangère reste la propension, la tendance a ce regrouper, se retrouver par, a minima : la langue .
Et, ce n' est pas que, ou exclusif, aux français .
Je comprend on ne peut mieux les exprimés, étant attaché aux droits du sol qui, eux, liaient, légitimaient, justifiaient .
De fait .
C'est douloureux, et, vous n' êtes pas mise en cause en l' espèce.
@@bricelarie6527 Bonjour ! Se regrouper est l'instinct d'espèce humain Universel !
@@youpihat
Mon avis a ce propos reste très différent .
Les "assumptions" toutes faites bien proprettes et lustrées,
Je vous les laissent bien volontier .
De facto .
de toute façon des germes , il y en a partout . pour nous rester en pyjama toute la journée même sortir dehors c'est un manque de respect envers soit même et les personnes qui vous entoures . si la personne reste en pyjama toute la journée c'est quelle est malade ou dépressif

Why is it always in Paris?????There is so much more to France than Paris!I love Alsace...….Lyon has a lot of beauty to it.UMMM and Champagne. Rheims is lovely.Get out of Paris!!!
I guess since we both live in Paris thats our reference, but of course there are other beautiful places to visit in France!
About AC. How to heat earth?
1/ produce AC engine
2/ produce electricity to power the AC
3/ extract heath from inside and release il outside
4/ clean the AC engine from bacterias
You are killing the climate with AC
Quand vous parlez de Paris en disant que c'est une "ville superbe", j'ai le regret de vous dire non ! Ce n'est plus la ville ou il fait bon vivre, Paris est de plus en plus sale, on ne peut plus circuler, il y a des drogués est des SDF partout, l'insécurité et la violence sont en hausse exponentielle due à une immigration massive et incontrôlé, il y a beaucoup plus de pollution qu'avant, et la gestion de la ville est une véritable catastrophe. Non, je suis désolé, mais Paris n'est plus la plus belle ville du monde.
paris ne fais pas la françe il y a d autre région en france a voir
OMG!!!! don't you dare put cheese in the fridge! You damage it. Cheese has to be put in open air, outdoor, for your neighbours to enjoy the smell!
hahaha that's a good idea. If only I had a balcony on my apartment!

Bonjour bb je vous aimes 😘💋💕
And what about working hours in France? There is a stereotype that French people are lazy and do not work. Would you say so?
One of the few thing you can actually check with actual datas. French people are actually one of the most productive people in the oecd.
time.com/4621185/worker-productivity-countries/
I wouldn't say they are lazy at all! I woudl say they work hard to get a good amount of time to appreciate life. We can learn so much from the French about work life balance!
Preach it!
@@UnintentionallyFrenchified Ah ah ah, and you brunette friend is really nice (too) ;)

no!!!!!! pain au chocolat
« Hard to do simple things » ?? Don’t exagerate the truth please. 😠
Stereotypes can of course be an exagerration at times, but really just chatting about how it feels jumping into a new culture! Maybe it was easier for you! I've been in France 10 years and still have those off moments!
J'ai arrêté la vidéo après le 50ème "like", qu'on entend sauf erreur de ma part au bout de 6 minutes et 38 secondes.
One advice or one piece of advice? 😳
Americans are consumers ,french are citizens. Yes , like you, the french working in the service deserve to have a week-end to have a social life too . A concept of the materialistic American mentally can not get!
Interesting concept! When i worked in the service industry, i would only work 1 day a month on the weekends. The shifts were split so that we werent working most weekends and the stores could still stay open. I'd have to say as a consumer and an old service worker, I prefer this way!
With no legal holiday (vacation ) ,no universal healthcare, and cheap education, the Americans are really considered to be consumers not citizens
France is more worker culture, america consumet
I was expecting something more profound at some point but that stayed incredibly superficial. You shouldn't have stuck to the questions people asked; they don't know what's interesting.
Thanks for the feedback! I'll keep that in mind for some of the other videos!
climatiser tout et partout est un non-sens écologique. Mais les Américains et l'écologie ...
Il faudrait peut-être parler français les filles !! Les anglo-saxons sont la plupart nuls en langues étrangères..
J'ai deux videos sur ma chaine en Francais!
et les français sont nuls en anglais lol
@@elizewyn Pour votre gouverne... faisons un peu d'histoire !!
En 1066 après la conquête Normande, et mise en place une administration francophone... La français était devenu la langue de la cour. L' anglais n'a cessé d'être nourri du français depuis cette époque !! Selon des études linguistiques, plus d'un tiers du vocabulaire anglais actuel est d'origine française..
Les mots d'origine française représentent plus des deux tiers du vocabulaire anglais... Vous pouvez vérifier !!
Un homme politique du début du 20 S dixit : [ L' Anglais est du Français mal parlé !!]
Il n'est pas faux, que de nombreux français ne parlent pas bien l' anglais...Mais proportionnellement, le monde anglo-saxons ( England, USA, Canada saxon, Australia, etc ..) parlent peu d'autres langues étrangères mise à part les gens issues d'autres ethnies... Simple constat !! Et j'ai des origines anglo-saxonne et écossaise ..
@@jamespower7130 the US being Anglo-Saxon makes no sense. Most people from European heritage in the US are German, Irish, Scottish, or Spanish. The originally colonists that became the US were from England though they made up a small amount of the immigrant population, especially over time. Most everyone in the Americas has heritage from people's of Spain, Ireland, and Scotland before anywhere else, and in the US Germany makes up the most common family heritage, though of course we are all mixed
Je le sais pour votre gouverne !! J’ ai fait de l’ histoire des religions et de la théologie..
Vous avez des origines Anglo-saxones par my heritage !! Smile.. moi , c’ est récent...
Personne ne s'étonne plus de voir une personne en survêtement dans la rue, en tous cas, pas en province, par contre les courses en pyjamas, vous risquez que des gens appellent les "hommes en blanc".
Quand elle dit pyjama, ça sous entend une tenue décontractée type en jogging, pas le pyjama avec le bonnet de nuit ^^
Elle connait trop la culture française pour confondre. C'est connu que certains américains sortent faire le courses en tenue de nuit. Par contre nombre de français les font en jogging, et alors ? La moitié des NIke sont achetés par des buveurs de bière ventripotents pour aller faire les courses le samedi avec Bobone...
Non, c'est pas normal les joggings. Normalité =/= majorité
