Despite the fact that my name is Sumer, Spring and Fall are my favorite seasons! I feel so much more calm in the fall. If all goes well, I'll be moving to France in October. I've only ever been in May so I'm eager to see what Fall is like there!
I'm moving to the Nord region. Do you have any recommendations for places to go/shop? I'm a total foodie who only eats humane meats and organic vegetables. Grocery stores are my form of tourism. I can't wait to see all the places to shop!
If you want to find some quality produce I would definitely recommend you to find local farmers market and a good butcher. For organic food staples you can go to either BIOCOOP, LA VIE CLAIR or NATURALIA. and then normal supermarkets for the rest.
Watermelon is now such a noble fruit in Japan (though it was a rather reasonable choice in the past, when my mother was a kid). But it seems it’s not so expensive in France ? By the way, is it common for the French to have breakfast twice in the morning? (Of course will depend on the person, but in general?)
So interesting ! In france you can get watermelon for about 1.8- 3.20 eur per kilo how much is it in Japan ? That's such a funny question, the 2 breakfasts are definitely not a common thing in France, I usually have one breakfast but if I start my morning with only a bit of fruit or something too light I get hungry an hour after so I sometimes do 2 breakfasts :)
@@thefrenchsolution In Japan, I think what we eat for breakfast has dramatically changed over the past few decades. For example, my parents (now around 60) said that they always ate rice, miso soup and tsukemono (Japanese pickles), which is traditional Japanese breakfast fast. So definitely savory one. But I’ve never been fed with those kind of breakfast as a kid, and always had 食パン (store bought white bread, cheep and low quality, I hated) and milk. After growing up, I came to constantly bake my sourdough and got rid of crappy bread ahaha 😊 But most of my colleagues seem to have onigiri or 食パン bought from the convenience store for their breakfast！

Also I am wondering what do Japanease enjoy for breakfast ? Is is savory or sweet ?
@@thefrenchsolution That’s surprising. In Japan, a medium sized head (1.5-2 kilos) watermelon costs around 2000-3000 yen (12.6-19 eur)!
