(en anglais--The Awful Wall)
Without a doubt, we've found the best show on French television...
We saw it for the first time in Italy under the title Distraction.
Imagine this a little:
A wall (with a person-shape cut into it) comes sweeping towards the contestant. If they can conform to the shape... they stay dry. If not, they get pushed into a pool of water. There are two teams of three. The best ones are when all three together try not to get sunk. Biggest challenge so far: to spell out M U R. The commentator is a large, blonde woman wearing brightly-colored baubles and swirls. The competitors wear helmets, silver martian suits and elbow pads.
Today, the kids asked me whether or not people in Texas had televisions and cell phones. Because we talked about Australia last week, they get confused a little.
We wrote letters to an American class of kids... I wouldn't have guessed that writing "Happy Valentine's Day" on the bottom would cause an uproar. Apparently in France, Saint Valentine is reserved for couples. Couples only. There was quite a bit of blushing and discussion. No one believed that everyone exchanged Valentines until the teacher brought up Christmas cards (we talked about the Anglo-Saxon penchant for exchanging cards at every occasion).
The Superbowl is coming on tonight at 12:40am. Don't tell me who won!
