You know you live in provence when...

1. Your idea of a balanced breakfast includes equal amounts chocolate, espresson, and bread, maybe a shot of orange juice.
2. You get several short breaks during each lecture so your professor can run outside and bum a cigarette off a student.
3. You can count at least three old women in large fur coats on any given street at any given moment. In April.
4. There is a national strike at least every other month, during which the trains and the postal service stop running.
5. You eat 5 baguettes a week.
6. You are the only person in sight not predominantly dressed in black, and think that wearing navy blue is a bold color move.
7. you can pick and eat figs on your way to class.
8. you believe that the only way to drink coffee is out of a thimble sized mug.
9. you can study english at the lycée for five years and not speak a word of it.
10. You cant take three steps out of your door without stepping in a big pile of dog 'merde', but after all- thats a sign of good luck, so who cares?
... and last but not least...
you can look out of your window and see monte saint victoire, and you realize that you just might live in the most beautiful place in europe.
