Girl if I find some nice, handsome Frenchman I am KEEPING him. 
The best thing about having locs is that I have no hair worries- I have maintained my locs on my own from day one, so I can go anywhere in the world and be set.
RefinedDiva- Thanks for the link! I think you sould definitely go for it as well. I know that living abroad is something that anyone who is blessed to HAVE the opportunity to do should experience, it's just scary!

Girl, enjoy this chance to live abroad!!! Your French will come back to you in a heartbeat. I went to Spain in HS, and I can write my butt off en espanol, but speaking it took a minute to click. A minute = about two days. As you are constantly bombarded with French, it all comes back. You will be fine!!!
Just remember to check in with GC and send us lots and lots of pictures.
Bring me back a French man, too, please!  :P |
