Americans in Paris

Transcript

I love Paris in the summer but the one thing that always bother me is everywhere I go all I can hear is American accent partout everywhere and the last thing that I want to hear when I'm in France is the Americans, okay? I don't want to hear someone named Karen from Michigan saying something like, oh, croissants back at home are not this good. No, that is why as an American myself, I'm going to be using this accent for the rest of my trip.
