I forgot to post in my last entry a pretty interesting little tidbit. So a couple of weeks ago, in my French class, we were talking about World War 1 as we were about to watch a movie about the Great War. Now, my French class is composed of me and two other Americans (both from Dickinson), lots of Germans (I'm not kidding- there are about 10 I think), several Canadians, a few girls from Sweden, and then a couple more countries represented by a single person here and there. Now, at some point during the conversation, we were talking about different countries' roles in the war. To our amazement, the CANADIANS tried to tell the rest of the class that IT WAS CANADA THAT WON WORLD WAR I. The other American (one was gone that day) and I literally started laughing out loud, and we were like, no we're pretty sure Canada has never won anything. And then they just kept on saying, no it's true, we won. So we were like, How do you even justify that? And they said something along the lines of it was Canada that gave all kinds of money to the British to help fight the Germans, and they wouldn't have won if the Canadians hadn't sent money. More lols. Meanwhile, during this whole episode, the Germans are just sitting there, kind of twiddling their thumbs and not saying anything. The whole class was just interesting, and so we decided in such a nationally diverse class, to leave who won what outside of the classroom.
