Continue listening to our riveting discussion based on Janine's perspective, observations, and cultural background of France Vs. the United States right where Michelle and Janine left off last week. HINT: if you didn't listen to part 1, this is your sign that you should press stop on this episode and go back to the beginning of the conversation by playing Episode 07: "France, I Hope Our Paths Will Croissant Again" or else you are going to be extremely confused. 

While a born and bred American, Janine has been surrounded by French heritage since birth and has been to France many times and definitely appreciates many aspects of the French culture. In light of the current events happening in the USA right now with Roe V Wade being overturned, too many mass shootings to even count, continuing political turmoil, systems that are no longer working, etc. etc., we decided to have an open and honest discussion about the two countries and how they differ.  Buckle up for a bumpy ride, folks, and fasten your seatbelts for the completion of this current topic journey.
