This is inspired by an incident I saw in the grocery today: a woman dropped 2 potatoes on the floor. She just bent down, picked them up, and placed them back on the bin. Gross.

Also, all of the bathrooms have individual rooms for stalls, and in one building, they have their own lights. Which is really ingenious because it uses so much less electricity. Also, the lights in the dorms aren't on until you press a button, and they go off after a certain amount of time. How much money does Auburn waste on lighting bills, I wonder?

Also, you can, in fact, buy just one Coke can from the grocery. When I first got here, I thought it was just a pack of Coke that fell off and broke. But no, you can open a 12 pack of Coke, take one can, and pay .37€ for a can. So weird. Try doing that in Wal-Mart, and let me know how that goes. (; Also, goat cheese flavored chips. Only in France.

And lastly, I love that when you go to a restaurant (really nice, or just a kebab place), when they give water to your table, they don't come around 5 times and refill your glass. They put a wine bottle of chilled water on your table. It's so much more efficient! Their service isn't the same as ours in anyway, so this is really just a way for the server to not have to come visit your table every 20 minutes, but it works in your favor too. Just thought I would share these small things.
