There are many culture differences that I noticed in my short time in Tours so far. Unlike in the US where there are two locker rooms, one for men and one of women, France only has one. There is one common space for lockers and then individual changing stalls that are universal to all. I was very confused by this when I first came to understand the idea, but it makes more sense to me because there is no need for two completely separate locker areas. Another culture shock for me is dinner. I would usually have an informal dinner for about 45 minutes in America. But so far every night I have been sitting down for dinner at around 8 pm and finishing at 10pm. I am not used to such long dinners but the food is amazing so not complaints!
