After seven years in France, I feel it's time I jotted down some of my impressions. Think of them as fragments of a guide to understanding the French for Australians, or anyone else who sometimes feels they come from a long way away. But since I am no longer quite as Australian as I should be, my apologies in advance for any franglais.

"L'Exotisme n'est donc pas une adaptation; n'est donc pas la compréhension parfaite d'un hors soi-même qu'on étreindrait en soi, mais la perception aiguë et immédiate d'une incompréhensibilité éternelle."
Victor Segalen, Essai sur l'exotisme.
