Things are smaller in France

Things seem to smaller in France than in the US.  Take toasters for example:  A big store like 'BHV' only has one toaster oven and like 50 toasters.

Anyway, I'd like to illustrate this point today with a parking lot.  I'm sure I'll show you other examples later.  So, take a look at this video:

I am driving my Smart car (practically the smallest car you could possible drive) in France, and look how hard it is to get into the parking lot...

By the way, refrigerators  are smaller too.  Did you know that in France the biggest models are called 'An American fridge'?  What we consider average in the States is huge in France.

Coffee makers are smaller, cars are smaller, roads are narrower.

Maybe that's why the French are so thin???

That's some food for thought, and this is Lindsay, signing out.
