 When thinking about cultural differences it was hard for me to think of differences between two cultures that I knew a lot about.  While I was thinking about this I realized that we had been learning about the French culture in my French class.  One bit of information that we have learned so far that stuck out to me, I thought it was a little humorous, was that French people tend to stand closer to others when they are speaking with them, and in a sense invading the “personal bubble” that many Americans have made for themselves.  As I thought about the people that I had met in the past from France, only one I can remember only one I thought stood very close when he spoke to me and to others.  His name was Marc, and we met my freshman year of high school. We were both in the fall musical that Cambridge Rindge and Latin puts on every fall. We both got to know each other pretty well, and we hung out during rehearsal.  Perhaps him being the only person from France that I have spent and extensive amount of time with could be the reason he was the only one that I can recall standing very close when he spoke to people.
