[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In Paris, we saw a lot of 90s style sweatshirts with "New York" on them. I was surprised to see this there, but there you go.

I spent two weeks in Paris and some smaller towns and didn't notice teen boys wearing the big basketball shorts and hoodies that boys wear here. I'd definitely go with jeans and a shirt that doesn't have words on it. My teens wore black stretchy pants (they hate jeans) and tee-shirts without words.

They will know you are American no matter what and bring you ketchup.

Other times, I was surprised to have French people start speaking to me in French. I think this is because I wore a scarf. Parisians love their scarves!

I also told my family they HAD to use knives. Americans tend to use their forks to cut instead of a knife. To be polite, I felt we should use utensils the French way. [/quote]

LOL -Americans use their forks to cut? That’s a new one.[/quote]

This is totally true! I very much grew up in a knife-using family and DH (and now my kids) don’t even put knives out for dinner unless we’re eating steak. Drives me batty but it’s not a hill I’m dying on[/quote]
