Parties are fairly infrequent here, MOONAT. They tend to be very laid-back, not a whole lot of energy. Often, we just hang out. Sometimes we really do get hyper, though, and afterwards it's a little hard to remember what happened.

For school, theres a big division into different sections when your 15/16.Those who dont get very good grades go into 3 year formations then go into the working world. Those formations are vast hundreds of choices they're called 'bac pros'.

Or you can choose the next level up is 'bac techno' that is similar to the bac pros but you have to follow the 3 years up with another formation, but the techno is a bit more advanced then the pro, yet there is the same variety of choices when it comes to the direction you want to go in.

Finally there are the 'bac général' which is the hardest route. The students with the best grades can choose from 3 types:
Bac ES: economical & social (easiest of the 3)
Bac L: litterature & art & phylosophy (seems interesting, no maths!)
Bac S: scientific (at the moment, France has the highest level in scientific studies in school for Europe, or so they say ; its the hardest but the most rewarding, students with a bac s can get into the best schools etc, its what I'm aiming for)

Bac général always have to be followed by x years in university.

Otherwise, if you have AMAZING grades (skip years & such) like a brainiac; you can join the polytechnique.

People who survive the polytechnique can walk into any job, as they wish, all the CEOs are polytechniques.
Its said that alot of those graduates are involved with the french mafia >_> but tis just a rumor.

I love the country I think its beautiful but it really depends on your opinion & what parts you see.

As for the people, its said that US parisiens are arrogant O.O *shocked* well it is true but you cant really generalyze can ya? We're just hot tempered & passionate!
The french from the south are insane plukes n farmers
The parisiens & the southeners always tease each other.
One thing I love about Paris is its so open minded. It is the gay capital after all, you can be sure you'll meet all sorts of characters (abit like NYC).

For friends, well we mostly go to the cinema or concerts. Sometimes the mall. But the big thing is going out to eat. The french love fine cuisine, but fast food isnt very popular.
