私はフランス人です。のブログ https://ameblo.jp/pipiou/ ブログの説明を入力します。 ja Je suis Charlie


I don't know exactly why but I started an article about this terrible event and I did not post it.
It is not that I don't care, on the contrary. I felt there were nothing to explain, to say because it were so horrible that I don't even know how we can support those monsters.

After one week, I am more calm to write a few things.

I won't talk about the event itself for the reason I said before. A lot of other than me have did it and they have dit it well.

There is one thing I want to say. I don't know if this edition of Charlie Hebdo has been published in Japan, and if it is, it is not translated but if you can buy it, buy it. Buy it for the symbol that we won't let them destroy our right, our liberty. Buy it for the support, to show they can't divide us and they can't kill people without reinforcing us.

Today, I will explain how French people, and more generally European people see Japan. If something hurts you, don't forget some of them are clichés, as you have about French people. Feel free to explain what is wrong.


In Europe, we think that :

- Japan is kawaii and fanciful ( music, fashion, we imagine a lot of cute little animals )
- a lot of Japanese wear masks.
- Japanese work a lot.
- Japan is high-tech.
- Japonese eat stange things. Of course, it is a question of habits, in France we eat horses, snails and froggs...
- ...but we also love Japanese food. Unfortunately, it is adapt to our tastes so I don't think it is really what you eat in Japan. Moreover, a lot of restaurant make Japanese, Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese food in the same time which tends to annoy me since it is different culture.

ლ(´ڡ`ლ) YUM !

And of course, we also think about chopsticks, cosplay and mangas.










And some exemple of mangas in France ( I chosed cover with my favorite characters ).




In France, a lot of young people love Japan because of mangas, J-pop and the kawaii universe. We have a trade show called Japan Expo which is very famous. A lot of people go there and a lot of famous Japonese as singer or mangaka are invited.

For my first real post, I will speak about the Catacombs of Paris ( カタコンブ・ド・パリ ).

In fact, I wanted to start with the well-known Notre Dame de Paris ( ノートルダム大聖堂 (パリ) ) but I don't find my photos... :( My computer is so in mess but I will find them !

Ok, so first you have to know that if you want to visit the catacombs, you will have to be patient... because the queue is long, very very long... (>_<)

Once you finished queueing, you have to go down stair, and there are a lots of stairs. And when I say a lot, I mean a lot : 130 steps !
So of course, your legs and your feets are bleeding but you are determinated ( and you hope it really deserves all this pain ! :D ).

But it is not finished ! You just touched the last step that you think you are finally going to see bones and skulls but YOU ARE WRONG !!!


WHAT !!!!!


(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻



You have to walk a long time in small corridors. At first you are happy because it is ancien and you can see dates engraved on the wall, but ten minutes later you became claustrophobic and you fear not to see the light again because yes, I forgot to tell you but you are underneath the ground of 20 metre ( = a building with 5 floor )...





 And then after a long walk, you finally enter in a sort of room with a mysterious inscription. Boooh, it is quite terrifying ! :o

I let you see.






It reads " Arrête, c'est ici l'empire de la mort " which means " Stop ! This is the empire of death "...

And indeed it is, walls are made with bones and skulls. I was really impressed when I saw this. So many skeletons.... I post photos and I let you read the Japanese wikipedia.

Oh, I have a bad new ! If you want to see the sunlight again you will have to go upstair and there are 80 steps...

 WHAT !!!!!


(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻



I hope you liked this post. As I said, if you have any questions or request, just tell me. :D You can also leave comment, I would be so happy. (＾▽＾)

私はフランス人です。



I will write in English now, since I don't speak Japanese but I will try to learn basics.

As I said, my name is Nina and I am French. In this blog, I will show you how I live in France, and I will probably post photos of other European countries I visit during hollidays. :D

I don't want to tell my life, I just want to share my culture with you, I don't know if it will interest you or not...

Oh, if you have question, I would be happy to answer, just try to write it in English. If not I will try to understand all the way but I will use Google translate so I am not sure to really undertand what you mean.

じゃあ、またね。:D
