10 things you'll see in France but not in the US

10.   A woman in heels peddling a bike through a insanely busy traffic circle
9.   A dog poop vacuum in use on the sidewalk
8.  Roman Polanski
7.   A police car with 17 cops crammed into it
6.  Statues with boobies! (Hooray for boobies!)
5.  Rental bikes you can check out on your own and leave in any other rental stand when you're done
4. Cheese that smells like a corpse left in a sewer... but tastes sooo good
3. An underground gas station
2. A guy in a suit driving a scooter with a cigarette in one hand, and ice cream cone in the other, his youngest son sitting in front and his eldest sitting behind, zipping down the boulevard. (absolutely true. wish I could have controlled my amazement and managed to take a picture)
1. A man wearing a scarf while jogging, on a 55 degree F day.
