So I've decided that instead of exporting infested agriculture to the US, the French need to export bisous. What are bisous you ask? Qu'est-ce que c'est? Why they are the little kisses that French people give each other when ever they see one of their friends, meet a friend of a friend, or just feel that a handshake doesn't suffice. And I'm not talking about those fake air kisses that Hollywood types feel the need to give each other so that they can look more "European" I'm talking about cheek to cheek kisses. Even the guys give them to one another! I mean, guys in America really need to loosen up and not be so insecure about their sexuality. Lighten up guys, Bis! I'm telling you, if everytime you saw a friend or a peer or someone you kinda know and you gave them a kiss on both cheeks (2 in the south, 3 in Languedoc, 2 in Paris, except when saying goodbye, and then I believe it is 4), the world would be a happier place and we could quite possibly have less war. Just a theory I've been developing. But seriously, I love hugs and everything, and they are wonderful, but I have to say I'm starting to think that "bising" (as we americans call it here) is kinda the way to go. I don't know, I could be wrong. So, those of you who I will see in the States in a few months, don't freak out if I lean to give you a kiss on the cheek, it just might be the new wave.
Conclusion de jour: Kisses on the cheek can help world peace.
