さて、愛犬ナナちゃんはまだ５ヶ月なので、人ごみにいると少し興奮してしまいます。また、他の犬を観ると吠えたり、嬉しいと人の手を噛んでしまう癖があるのでＮＨちゃんは目が離せないと嘆いていました（笑）だけど、フランス人はそんなのおかまいなく、皆「可愛い～」と言い寄ってきます。普段、無愛想なパリ人でも、ほとんどがニコっと微笑み、なんだか違う一面を見た気がします。言葉の壁や文化・考えの違いがあっても、人間はある「もの」のきっかけで仲良くなれることができます。それに気づけばもっと平和な世の中になるのではないでしょうか？
Yesterday I went to take a walk down Paris Plage again with my good friend NH and her puppy, Nana. NH, N (may be a bit confusing...), and I all came to France to be with our French husbands and the 3 of us get together often as I love their down to earth personalities.
NH's puppy is only 5 months old so she gets a little excited when around a lot of people. She barks at other dogs and sometimes bites people's hands when she's happy so NH says that she has to constantly keep an eye on her :) But the French don't care about any of that and come near Nana and comment on how cute she is. Even the usually unfriendly Parisians would smile when looking at her and I felt as though I saw another side to them. Even though there is a language barrier, or difference in culture/opinions, a certain "something" can be a trigger to become friendly with each other. I think that once we realize that, the world will become a better place.
