Hello everyone. It is Monday afternoon in Paris. You're listening to the Eiffel Tower podcast. My name's

Oliver G. You're about to meet this week's guest, Rosie McCarthy, from the not even French

YouTube channel, but first a bit of news. You're officially listening to the best podcast in Paris.

Yep. Sound the trumpets again. although still don't have the trumpet sound

effects. According to the readers of Expatriots magazine here in Paris, the Airful Tower is the

best Paris podcast. So there you go. Something to add to the byline, perhaps. A big shout out to

Charlotte, who I just bumped into in the Holly Belly Cafe. She told me that she was listening to last week's episode as she walked in, and then we

happened to bump into each other in the cafe.

So that was a nice treat.

Hello to you, Charlotte.

She was on the show way, way, way back.

Glad you're still a listener.

Keep doing it.

And hello to Taylor, her friend who was also a listener.

Anyway, today it's Rosie McCarthy, episode 101, a New Zealander. And not in the studio, you're

going to hear in a second. I was in her apartment for this episode. And we talked all about

culture shocks, the weird things that you notice after you've lived in Paris and France for a little

while. She had a great long list of

them. We sort of picked the best five or six and well yeah, we'll have a little chat. You're about to

hear a little chat between me and Rosie and then we get into the juicy culture shocks that you

notice once you've been living in France for a while. So enjoy the episode. I'll tell you a little bit

at the end about the live video walks I've been doing.
