Our politics
Our backwardness (does it make sense ?)

8. Where have you been living in(city/town), and the favorite places in your country?

I've been in many places (because of my father' work); Reims (I was born there), Compiègne (a city in the north where the majority of my family was born), Royan, La Rochelle (south-west), Quimper (in the west) and some others.

9. To continue the question above, what are they like?

Hum...
Reims has a beautiful cathedral. It's just a quiet little city with a great history.
Compiègne is blah.
Royan and La Rochelle are cool from my POV. Sunny most of the time, very relaxed, medium sized cities for France, wish I could go back there.
Quimper is even more blah than Compiègne.
I'm not really helping the tourism industry of these cities with my comments I guess.

Huh, the guys of my favorite French band (Kyo).
Mylène Jampanoï (it's an actress)
