The grocery store chain here in Lyon is called "Casino"- this confuses me greatly as it seems to imply that you're taking a gamble every time you walk in. Maybe you'll find some good food.
That doesn't seem like a good marketing strategy, but hey, maybe they're trying to convince people that grocery shopping is really much more glamorous and fun then it actually is.
Where I'm from, the popular grocery store is called "Safeway"-- seems like a quite a difference in mentality.
...I'm full of crap.
More substantial blogging to come soon- tales of street dancing and rants about bureaucracy!

Casino, je t'aime!
Je suis très heureuse à entendre qu'il y a des Casinos au Lyon-- il y a un près de chez moi et je l'adore avec suspicion.
Je recommande enthousiastement leur pizza avec chevre-- quand j'etais paresseuse, il y a un pensée sur mon cerveux, et ce pensée est de pizza du Casino.
Oui, Casino est un "dive," mais c'est notre dive.
I love Casino! Oh I love Casino.

This reminds me of when I left school and shared a room at the YWCA in Braamfontein, South Africa.
My room mate was a Chilean grad student whose second language was French, which she spoke with a thick South American accent. Her third language was English and French was my third language. You can safely assume I spoke it very badly.
And so we spoke French, not English. The muddles abounded.
