It's definitely refreshing and eye-opening to see life from another perspective! I think I was used to my American habits before but have adopted some French habits and ways of living as well now and it's really nice. I love that you say you'd rather be skate boarding. I totally understand that. My passion is learning languages and that's how I feel about language learning. That's wonderful! I also have to admit that i've never been the biggest pb/j fan but I also have the same feelings toward Nutella -- not bad, just ok! And there are so many cultural differences! I feel like every day I learn something new about life in France! It's a lot of fun. :)
