It was a pleasure to read your letter as usual, but this week particularly as you explain the situation in New Caledonia to non French people. It’s quite alarming to see that the French government has caused the situation while knowing that the Kanak in the end, had always wanted their independence. Maybe it’s because the government see the Dom Tom has their colony. Ex: Guadeloupe and the chlordecone crisis that poison the entire population ( chlordecone is a pesticide which was forbidden in mainland France since the 80s but allow in Guadeloupe for economic reason). These territories are still being patronised…to say the least.
Also, yeah please change the instructor ! She is not direct , more rude lol.
I remember having one class in Reunion where I made a mistake , being too close from a motorcycle. As a reaction the instructor give me a tap in the hands… lol 😂
I still not have my permit.
I stopped my blabling. Excited to know what’s next !
Absolutely loved this, Hannah. From the comprehensive overview of the situation in New Caledonia and France’s implication, to Motivational Momma Meltzer and of course, the absolutely mental driving lesson. Cheering you on from Montreuil, while hunched over my own Code de la Route and frowning a lot 💜
