A véritable strangeland
Eventhough, tomorrow normally is the 1st of June, I declare that tomorrow shall be the 1st of December. Sejuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk
I've wrote a few times that the French national sport is striking. Well, I'm sorry, I used the wrong term. The national sport is complaining, and they are champions in the striking event. Other events that exist in this sport, in which they are also champions, are finding bad things to say about the anglo-saxons (a term that the French use to describe English-speaking-liberalist countries), complaining about life, complaining about the weather, and complaining about the food served at the canteen (sub categories are: how the food tastes, how the food looks like, how the food are not healthy, and how Kimi always has too much sauce in his plate).
I'm used to their complainings. But if you're spending a day with the French for the first time, be prepared to hear non-stop complaining from dawn to dusk. Let's have a look at the daily timeline of complaining
8 am (moments before the first class)
-Saying hello to everyone
-Complains how one didn't get enough sleep the night before
-Complains about the stupid things that the government did the day before
- Class starts
12 noon (lunch break)
-Complains about what the teachers did during the class
-Complains about the work that the teachers gave
-Complains about the upcoming tests
-Complains about the canteen food (see above for more information on this)
2 pm (moments before class starts)
-Discussions on last night TV programmes
-Complains about the movie shown
-Complains about the football match played
-Support for some strike held somewhere
-Complains about how one has not finished one's homework because the teachers didn't give much time (eventhough it was given a month ago)
6pm (class ends, on the way to the métro)
-Complains about how tired one is
-Complains about the homeworks that needed to be done
-Complains about the subjects that needed to be revised for upcoming tests
-Mengumpat on other students who are not present in the métro
-Bid everyone goodbye when getting off the métro
Yes, the French are the world champion when it comes to expressing one self
Lihat dunia dari mata burung
Atau dari dalam tempurung
Yang mana satu engkau pilih
Dalam kalut ada peraturan
Peraturan mencipta kekalutan
Di mana pula kau berdiri
Di sini
