I am La Lorientaise - meaning the girl from Lorient

Lorient is small, teeny town in south Brittany, France where I studied for my Erasmus year.

I am actually Irish but consider France to be my second home. That doesn t mean I like all the French and agree with everything they do but I accpet they have the right idea on something.

I am 22 have a 1.1 degree in European Studies. I am working in a European Institution right now (wont say which one)

English is my mother tongue and I am fully fluent in French.

My political views are extremly conservative by European standards and Yet very liberal by American

I love Sarkozy yet hate Bush with a passion. I am pro europe but there are some elements I strongly disagree with

I love the idea of a public health service and minimum wage (very European) yet hate the idea of social welfare and layabouts

The reason I joined this forum was I was looking for a debate about the Borat movie while I was waiting to go abroad to Caen in Normandy. I did a search found this and been hooked since.

Don t post so often but when I do am hooked for days.
