fundamentally I think Americans are not good at talking to strangers

Midwesterners over share, are too nice, kind of overbearing

West Coast just don’t talk to anyone ever 

East Coast is sometimes cool sometimes mean, probably closest to Europeans

I know I’ve been europosting a lot I’m sorry the Olympics bring this out in me

Also feeling sad I’m leaving Paris and all its weirdness soon

Back home in the USA soon

A feature and a bug at the same time

Paris is too homogenous

Must be that we europeans do something right ;)

The Olympics have a way of making even the most mundane feel monumental, much like my own life, which often feels more like a slow crawl than a sprint. Paris will surely welcome your absence with open arms, as it quietly whispers its eccentricities to the next curious soul.
