be me

american

just landed in france for the first time

walk out the door

instantly see tens, maybe even hundreds, of paparazzi swarm me

so many news cameras I can’t even see anything, I have no idea why they care so much

luckily I speak a little french, I notice that they’re all saying “are you american?” “What’s it like living in the glorious united states?” “America is the most amazing and free country ever, we are so grateful you decided to go to the filthy feudal poor lands of western europe”
