biting nails.

I have not uploaded my blog for such a long time. There has been one main big change. I'm not in Japan anymore, woohoo! I mean, woohoo! for finally being in France, not being away from Japan.

I work for a hotel restaurant in a place called Carantec, just by the sea, full of seafood and beautiful scenery. It's a massive change from Tokyo obviously as it is such a country side here and i know no one, i mean NO ONE!

But this is the situation i exactly wanted and I'm enjoying it, a lot.

Anyway, let's put my life story aside and talk about some new stuff that i have found. Having my blog title as "food o'clock", I am aware of the fact that i should always be talking about food though, I couldn't help myself using this opportunity for hearing others' opinion about it.

Directly speaking, it is about nail biting culture in France. Absolutely no offense, I just wander why it is acceptable to bite nails in public in this country (probably not but all the people who I see don't seem feel guilty doing it), exactly like "slurping noodles" culture which I talked about before on this blog, in Japan. I have found some interesting articles in Internet relating to the fact of many french parents letting their children keep pacifiers longer than the other countries. I wanted to find more information about it and I tried, but all I found in Internet is bull shit like "because of wok"... yea, SURE.
Then people in all over the world should be doing. I don't think French are the only people finding "work is stressful". SO NEW.

Just purely I thought, specially since France is the country with a beautiful historical culture of architecture, food, fashion and many other stuff, when there is such thing which nobody feels great about watching, it could deserve some background or reasonable explanation.

I know that I'm talking about one very stupid topic but when you live in a town with only 2 bars and 2 supermarkets which close 3 hours for lunch break in the afternoon, people could go crazy and start wandering about some small small stuff that don't save the world.
