France vs. the USA

I found this adorable blog, Paris vs New York, and I had to share it with you. Although geared towards the comparison of the two cities, I believe these cultural differences extend past the city limits of both countries. 

Le café:


La Romantique:


Le pain:


l'obsession:


la façade:


le réalisateur (the director):


le surnom (nickname):


 les vieux:



 le taxi:


la peste:


les directions:


le tip:


le métro:


le journal:


le météo:


There are countless books written by anglophones about the mysteries of les français. It's an obsession, really. However, this blog seems to be written from the viewpoint of a Parisian in New York. The author, Vahram Muratyan, successfully captures the cultural subtitles of daily, metropolitan life in a simple yet effective manner. As you may or may not know, I am in my second year of teaching English teacher in France. Therefore, I hope to capture and record on this blog more of these Franco-American musings as gracefully as Vahram. On verra...

  1. I found this blog recently too! It's SO awesome. I can look at these forever. I love Paris. I've only been twice, and for a limited amount of time, but I love the romantic, laid-back feel of the city. NY on the other hand, is so nuts, but I love it too. My family's from NY, and the city feels like home to me.

    Thanks for your compliment. I really appreciate it since I am personally never satisfied with how my photos turn out. My camera is a Nikon D3000, it was a gift from my parents last Christmas. It's a gorgeous camera mais très cher!
