1st week of staying in France, made a faux pas liao! Upset my MIL ( looonngg story) and feel bad,so buy her flowers. Jean a dear friend gave me a book "Almost French" I identify with it so much! It is a similar story to mine. I must say French are really of a different culture and as much as I like to say "aiyoh why they are so yayasai or why they just don't speak their mind?" , I think about Chinese culture and it is the same really.
A lot of families do not communicate well and like to sweep things under the table or double talk. This is puzzling as some times it is really better to tell your family what is going on rather than keep inside, pretend everything is well but the resentment seeps out in small little ways.
Anyway I hope this is the last time I have to present Sorry Flowers.
