1) The people here are thin. Not in an unhealthy, celebrity mimicking, disgusting Lindsay Lohan 2007 kind of way; but there is a serious lack (and by that I mean a non-existing population) of overweight people in this city.
2) All of these thin people are constantly eating?! Eating while walking, eating while buying groceries, eating while driving... all the time.
3) Lyon is not a very multi-cultural city (at least in comparison to Montreal). And the ethnic diversity seems to really goes hand in hand with the difference between classes. About a dozen middle-eastern looking guys kept trying to give me free newspapers and then asked me for money.
4) If a guy wants your number here, he'll take out his cell phone walk towards you and straight up ask you for your number at 10am. Seriously. I was so shocked I almost choked on my croissant. I proceeded to let him down in English explaining that I don't speak french and I have no idea what he was saying.
5) It is completely acceptable to order une verre du vin blanc at 9:30 in the morning.
6) Jasmine was right... there are carousels EVERYWHERE!
Those are just a few observations from my first day in my Lyon.
