France Eight - Transcription
I live in Paris, I have 22 years old. I have a brother, he's nineteen, he's really, really awful, very happy to be there far, far from here. I go back in Paris in two days so I'm very happy.

You have to come back tomorrow or to call between stupid hours like between 10:15 in the morning and eleven and then two and three in the afternoon or a-- It's very bureaucratic. Here I was very surprised. If you need something, they give you the paper. You have no so much paper to sign there is no contract everything is based more on trust relation. That's very nice.
