The four characters shown there mean 'Chinese School.' Yes, this I know, many Chinese parents send their children to learn the Chinese language, usually on the weekend (here in N. America, and I guess in Paris too). These kids go to school six days a week.

Glad I found it as it was a really interesting read. It's so fun looking for bargains, and seeing all those great finds someone may want. I remember seeing a few of these when we went to Paris, but it was February so fairs were more limited. As I said in my last comment, hope all is well and you are enjoying some lake life.

Surprising how a photo can transport you either back to memories, or forward to aspirations of getting there... I love the accordion as my dad and uncles are all players - and i just adore french accordion buskers. Buttons, hooks & spoons have been amongst my little purchases for ease of bringing home tho.

I never buy anything though as I am too much a minimalist for this. <br /><br />As a Romanian, I was unpleasantly surprised that not enough people can have a basic discussion in English when I visited parts of Europe. In Germany, for example, I was talking in English (I could just as easily talk in Romanian as it made no difference), the German was responding in German and we used signs in the end. Before my 2nd trip to Germany I took a 2-months course and I was able to talk in basic German with them, now I don't remember a lot though. In the Netherlands was great, everybody knew English!Ancahttps://ancaslifestyle.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-18635611023238522552021-07-22T01:39:50.533-04:002021-07-22T01:39:50.533-04:00You made me laugh with this.
