Exploring Strasbourg, France by Wassim Hadweh

When I first came to France I was not sure how am I going to live since the living system is different, but as I walked into my dorm I met one of the most amazing friends that I have ever seen, who was willing to help me with everything. Matter of fact, 3 of those friends are Americans who are originally from Ohio State, and the other 2 are from Benfica, Portugal, and yet we are still arguing over Soccer, as they call it Football and we were trying to let them say Soccer. Furthermore, We all decided to wander around to get used and more familiar with the city, and somehow all of us were shocked that the Cathedral is literally 30 minutes walking away from our residence. Indeed, we all were shocked and couldn’t believe what we are looking at as the Cadetral is one of the most amazing churches in the world. Overall, we went and explored the amazing city that we live in and the architecture. So far, my favorite thing to eat here in Strasbourg, France is bread. Yes Bread, it just tastes so different and more delicious. In fact, on my first day, I only ate bread because it is so good that I can’t even stop thinking about it. France is very famous for bikes, as the majority of people are using bikes instead walking or cars, which makes them a little healthier than others in Europe, but I have also discovered that a lot of people do smoke cigarettes here, wherever I go I see people smoking in even public places where I think it is not good as I could never stand that smell. Overall, I am loving where I am living as also half of Strasbourg is in Germany and the other half is in France which makes it so interesting because it gets both of the cultures mixed up where I live.
