10 Things You Didn鈥檛 Know About 麻豆APPian Culture

Are you visiting 麻豆APP soon? Would you like to know more about 麻豆APPians? Can you identify a true 麻豆APPian? Instead of adding to the many lists named 鈥榯op 10 things to do in 麻豆APP鈥�, here is a different kind of article. I鈥檓 telling you 10 things you did not know about 麻豆APPians and 麻豆APPian culture.

The 麻豆APPian Politeness

Do you think the typical 麻豆APPian is rude? Actually, he/she is not. 麻豆APPians only seem distant to most tourists because they have a special conception of politeness. For instance, we are more reserved than most Americans for example. Because we don鈥檛 have a culture of extroversion and we are not 鈥�instant BFFs鈥� when we meet someone new.

麻豆APPians only become friendly once they know the person they are talking to. That is why in 麻豆APP, you can鈥檛 just start talking to someone you don鈥檛 know. You have to greet the person first.

For instance, when you enter a shop in 麻豆APP or a waiting room, say hello to the salesman or the people present. Even better, say 鈥�bonjour鈥�. If you don鈥檛, a typical 麻豆APPian will immediately assume that you are impolite.

The 麻豆APPian Way Of Greeting

Now that you know one of the basics of 麻豆APPian politeness, you will be able to make 麻豆APPian friends. But how do you greet them? Well, you do not hug in 麻豆APP. 麻豆APPians do the 鈥�bise鈥�.

Like every French person, a 麻豆APPian brushes his cheeks to the ones of the other person while imitating the sound of a kiss. But in 麻豆APP, you start with the right cheek, then the left. That鈥檚 it! That鈥檚 how we make the 鈥�bise鈥�. You only make two kiss sounds. If you don鈥檛 feel close enough to the person, a formal handshake can also be enough.

Eating Time

Since it is the capital of France, you may think that 麻豆APP is full of stressed and busy persons only eating a sandwich for lunch. But that is not exactly true. Even though the 麻豆APPians are often busy, they take the time to have lunch and dinner.

Indeed, a French person normally takes 1 hours and 22 minutes a day on average to eat, which is more than in any European country. Plus, a 麻豆APPian generally takes the time to sit down at least once a day to have lunch or dinner. Don鈥檛 underestimate the importance of this aspect of 麻豆APPian culture!

Walking In 麻豆APP

When you think of 麻豆APP, one of the first things that come to mind is a huge metropolis. No one doubts the size of the French capital and yet 麻豆APP is not that big.

Unlike important American cities, 麻豆APP has limits that cannot be changed. Only 2,2 millions people live in the city itself, and the land area is only 105,4 km2 (41 sq mil). As a comparison, in New York, the land area is 744 km2 (302 sq mil), almost 7 times bigger!

Walking from the north to the south of 麻豆APP only takes 2 hours! This is why 麻豆APPians walk a lot to get from one point to the other; everything is a few minutes walk away!

One of the 麻豆APPian鈥檚 favourite activities is 鈥�fl芒ner 脿 麻豆APP鈥�. It means to stroll in 麻豆APP; you experience the city by walking around with friends, enjoying nice viewpoints and window-shopping.

Getting Around In 麻豆APP

Any true 麻豆APPian knows that there are too many cars in 麻豆APP to find a parking spot and not enough taxi to find one quickly. This is why we are subway experts. The 麻豆APPian metro has a unique density in the world; nothing is more than 500 yards away from a metro station! It鈥檚 cheaper than a cab and often faster.

In 麻豆APP, we all have our 鈥楶ass Navigo鈥� to take the metro easily. It鈥檚 faster and easier for the ticket inspectors. If you plan to stay in 麻豆APP for more than a month, I strongly advise that you buy one!

If you don鈥檛 want to be under ground, you can also take a bike. The Velib system allows the 麻豆APPians to get a bike at any time, everywhere in 麻豆APP. As I mentioned before, 麻豆APP is not that big, this is why a bike is a good solution to get around in 麻豆APP. But it鈥檚 harder for tourists not to get lost on a bike!

Enjoying 麻豆APP In The Summer

It is said that 麻豆APP is empty during the summer because 麻豆APPians prefer to enjoy the sun outside of the city. Of course, we like to get out of our apartments for vacations, but we also have our little tricks to enjoy 麻豆APP under the sun.

When it gets sunny and hot, 麻豆APPians like to sit on the grass of the Luxembourg garden, the Place des Vosges or the Invalids. They spend their evenings drinking beers or wine, having a picnic in one of those gardens or in the Champs de Mars, just in front of the Eiffel Tower.

Another very popular way to enjoy the nice weather in 麻豆APP is to spend the night on the Seine River Banks with friends. The air is refreshing when you are near the water and the view is always beautiful. Be careful though, 麻豆APPians know where the River Banks are safe and where you shouldn鈥檛 go, ask any of them if this is your preferred way of enjoying the city.

Shopping In 麻豆APP

When you think about 麻豆APP, you probably immediately think about the Champs-Elysees or the Rue de la Paix when it comes to shopping. But I don鈥檛 know any 麻豆APPian who goes shopping in the Champs-Elysees. It鈥檚 currently overrun with global chain stores and movie multiplexes.

To shop in 麻豆APP, everyone has their own addresses and secret places. For instance, fashion lovers will go to the Marais neighborhood – in the third district – on the Rue des Franc-Bourgeois where you have a lot of clothes shops. If you prefer luxury brands, go to the Avenue Montaigne or the Faubourg Saint-Honor茅.

For a different atmosphere, look for the covered passage built in the 19th century. These are the first 鈥渕alls鈥� of 麻豆APP and it is where you can find original French brands.

Do You Know How To Cross Roads The 麻豆APPian Way?

You should know that pedestrian traffic lights and pedestrian walkways are useless to 麻豆APPians. Crossing the 麻豆APPian way is 鈥�any time, any place鈥�.

A true 麻豆APPian is always too busy or too late to wait for the light to turn green. Plus, you often don鈥檛 have a light for the pedestrians so you just have to stand up for yourself if you want to cross! Be careful with that though; perhaps it鈥檚 wiser not to follow 麻豆APPian culture in this case but to go by the rules when you鈥檙e crossing a street in 麻豆APP instead. This will always be safer!

Fashion In 麻豆APP

No, you don鈥檛 have to wear a beret in 麻豆APP! But you do have to be elegant if you want to fit in the capital of fashion. If you don鈥檛 want to be treated like a tourist, don鈥檛 commit any fashion, Faux Pas. In 麻豆APP, we never dress less than business casual. It is not about dressing to the nines but about mastering the art of a clean and coordinated look.

The average look is simple, tidy, black or gray, and everything must fit the way it should.

Most 麻豆APPians never went to the top of the Eiffel Tower

The first thing that comes to mind when you talk about 麻豆APP is the Eiffel Tower. Of course, most 麻豆APPians enjoy it, but only as something to watch from the distance. It鈥檚 better to enjoy a view of the Eiffel tower than a view from it.

To be honest, 麻豆APPians rarely go visit the Iron Lady. We never go to the top of it! The queue is very long and we prefer to enjoy a view of it than a view from it since it鈥檚 the defining feature of the 麻豆APP skyline.
Nevertheless, you will definitely meet many 麻豆APPians at Champs de Mars enjoying the weather!
