I fell in love with England because it was quaint(古雅)-all those little houses, looking terribly
old-fashioned but nice, like dolls' houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London.
I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it's an ugly town now.
Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good manners.
The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners-people
shut doors heavily to your face and politeness is disappearing.
I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You're forced to live indoors. In Paris
I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub,
and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.
As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb(大量的錢)on taxis because I will not take
public transport after 10 p. m. I used to use _it ,but now I’m afraid.
The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and
that's typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbor who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles
away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.
