Why ARE there so many pharmacies in France? What's up with their detached shower heads? This video explores 10 random French culture shocks or remarkable features about life in France. And no, it's not the clichés about French people smoking and dog poo in the street - it's the lesser known cultural differences between France and New Zealand, which I am sure are also shared amongst many expats in France.
