Yep, not even all the ecosystems that were nearly settling their lives there. Rakes are more gentle

It’s not fully the type of answer you want, but there is an Italian book called “the revolution of the moon” that is 90% written in dialect. The first pages are mostly Italian with some words in Sicilian dialect, then the dialect part gets more and more prevalent until it’s only dialect.

It’s not exactly what you mean in the sense that the Sicilian dialect really exists and that the book clearly exploits the similarities between the dialect and Italian for the reader to understand.

Not French, but from nearby. Culturally very similar. I really understood how much cultural expectations are deeply ingrained, and how much they play a tole in making me feel “at home”.

There are still things that French people do that I find odd, but not overly much, and more in a cute way than an annoying one.

Moved from EU to US during Trump1/just before COVID. Loved the pay check, the weather and the nature, hated the work culture, the food culture, the lack of culture, the lack of a social net and of social cohesion, the ingrained racism.

Moved from US to Germany, liked it but didn’t love it. Loved to social net and the beer gardens, the parks and public transport, struggled making connections and learning the language.

Moved from Germany to France, loved it. Great food, great weather, good work life balance, great social net, amazing food and good culture, people are friendly and welcoming (not in Paris or overly touristy places). Only downside is being away from family and having to build my social circle again.

I don’t seem to be able to get over my dark circles. It’s years I sleep the recommended 8 hours, doesn’t seem to matter. But if I sleep less they get even worse :/

Totally support Dan Da Dan S1. I honestly was quite disappointed that S2 did not keep up.

I would add Attack on Titan S3 (I think? The one with the war themed opening) that send chills down my spine.
