This year I had a dream that I would live in France so I enrolled in a French language school and bought this book, Almost French by Sarah Turnball. Sarah worked for SBS Tv in the mid nighties . In hope of adventure she goes to Europe and meets Frederic a Frenchman. She agrees to stay with him in Paris.
She stays with on with Frederic. Sarah discovers that French culture is very different to Australian culture. This is highlight, when she attends her first dinner party and is completely ignored. She quickly realises how much Australia has shaped her perspective on life. After the French atomic testing in 1996 in French Polynesia ( which Australia strongly opposed). Sarah was able to gain sponsorship to do European journalist course, allowing her to become a freelance journalist.
Sarah ends up living in Paris and marrying Fredric.
