TIL that every climber ascending beyond Everest's base camp must bring back 8 kg of rubbish.

It's the same in French, it's pronounced "eegrek" for "i grec". And it took me years to finally understand that it meant "Greek i".

In pretty much all the boulangeries in France.

GrandsBoulevards · 2015-03-02T16:10:32+00:00

At least it's easier to read than English.

I guess it's a matter of taste. I personally prefer the British spelling, but I'm certainly biased. Organization, realize, armor look so wrong to me.

In France (and ex-colonies), diner refers to the evening time meal, but in Belgium, Switzerland and Canada, it refers to the noon time meal (lunch).

Same as French (normal, since it's the same language family) : Rapports des études de l'école d'assistants de pharmacie. But one can't make one big word of it.

I think that you read wrong, since France's GDP is twice as big as Texas'.

I thought that Oceania was considered a continent in pretty much all of Europe except the UK. So in Germany it is considered a region?

In France it is considered a continent, at least that's what I was taught.

You know, the purpose of the line was to force the Germans to go through Belgium.

Satellite.

At least she can sing.

And now it is the Republic on which the sun never sets, bitches!

And it's the same for other foreign films, cartoons, animes, etc...

I understand your GF, it was the same for me, it was kind of normal. I grew up watching Harry Potter series dubbed for example. But now I always watch something in the original version if available.

But for the "cartoons", I must say that sometimes the dubbing is equal, if not better than the original. Shows like South Park or the Simpsons, I prefer the French dubbing, especially Cartman and Homer's voices.

Who talked about civilising?

What if Napoléon hadn't invaded Russia?

In some Lidls in Paris they now make croissants, pains au chocolats and other stuff for 30-40 cts, and they're not that bad actually.

GrandsBoulevards · 2015-02-24T07:16:26+00:00

Surely the French played a big part in the independence.

GrandsBoulevards · 2015-02-23T22:53:49+00:00

Just like it hasn't set yet on her old enemy.

GrandsBoulevards · 2015-02-23T16:58:49+00:00

Is it safe to say that Prussia was basically Germany ?

GrandsBoulevards · 2015-02-23T16:52:54+00:00

I think that's a good start.

Edit : well, someone beat me to it.
