Quels événements tragiques à Paris la semaine passée.....soutien et pensées pour tout le monde dans un état de choc. La presse libre est très importante en France, et le magazine, Charlie Hebdo, va continuer sous d'autres formes de continuer son journalisme.
Mais il faut absolument connaître que les actes de terrorisme au nom d'Islam ne représente pas du tout le vrai Islam comme religion. La France a une longue histoire de difficultés religieuses, notamment entre les Catholiques et Protestantes (au passé, évidemment).
Nous sommes tous "Charlie" au nom de la liberté d'être vous-même.
Charlie était pour Charles de Gaulle, qui a dit "Vive le Québec libre"......alors dans cet esprit....
"Vive la liberté personnelle!"

Dossier Project #6: La Cuisine
Imagine that you are staying in a rented house or apartment in France for a week, and you have to do food shopping. You will go online to a French grocery store (Auchan or Monoprix) to find food products that interest you. You won't actually buy anything. You will select the products you need to purchase, then assemble the photos to make a presentation that displays your selections.
To save some money, you plan to cook your own meals at the place you are staying. You have a microwave (micro-ondes), but not an oven (four).
