“Food in France is still primarily about pleasure，” says Mark Singer, technical direc tor of cuisine at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. “Cooking and eating are both pastimes(消遣) and pleasure. ” The French might start their day with bread, butter, jam, and perhaps something hot to drink—it's a time of the day when the whole family can be united. Singer, born in Philadelphia, has lived in France for more than 40 years.

food in the country，” he says, “and what was a big affair with eating has been slowly softened up, there are still events in the year, like birthdays and New Year's Eve and Christmas Eve that are still really anchored in traditional food and cooking. But it's not every day. ”
“Some people think French food life may be a performance，” adds Jennifer Berg, director of graduate food studies at New York University. “They want to believe that France is this nation where people are spending five hours a day going to 12 different markets to get their food. The reality is most croissants(羊角面包) are factory-made, and most people are buying convenience food, except for the very small group of people in high society. But part of our identity relies on believing that myth. ”
In Italy, as in France, takeout is still relatively rare. “Eating fast is not at all part of our culture，” says Marco Bolasco, editorial director of Slow Food and an Italian food expert. “Our meals are relaxed, even during a lunch break. Food in Italy is love, and nutrition, and pleasure，” he says. An Italian child's first experience with food is not small round cakes or rice or eggs, but probably ice cream, notes Bolasco. Status and wealth play less of a role in food.

Studying abroad will shape you in various ways. You will learn things you never would have if you had stayed home. When you are young and unattached, you should travel. Besides, you just might save a large sum of money. College is expensive in the United States. It's cheap or free in other countries even for foreigners, so why not get out of here and come back smarter?
More and more American students are currently studying at German colleges. That number has increased by 20% over the last three years. Living costs are about $7,000 a year, which is even lower than in other European countries. Germany encourages international students. They create a multicultural landscape that benefits German students as well. According to a new report, Germany is home to six of the world's 100 best universities. These schools offer around 900 degrees completely in English and many German students speak the language.
