Cheese monster mecca




Everything in France is expensive. 

Everything, that is, except for cheese. Actually nutella and beer are also pretty reasonable, but it’s the cheese that is truly amazing. It’s the cheese monster Mecca. Cheese with fruit, with honey, with nuts, sheep cheese, goat cheese, soy cheese, cheese with cinnamon, stinky cheese, moldy cheese, ricotta cheese, cottage cheese…any kind you could possibly want or imagine is right here at your fingertips. Some stores devote an entire corner to the cheese selection. The best part is you can get it all for about 1/3 of the price you’d pay in the U.S..  The other day I got a small wheel of brie for 2 euros. That kind of price here blows my mind, considering I have to pay just to use a public toilet.

Question: How many squares of toilet paper are included when you pay to use the public restroom?

Answer: 2

Other question: How many times did I use the word "cheese" in this post? (Including just now?)

Answer: 15
