You pack your digital camera and your video camera and get ready to make some French memories. First, though, you have to get by the security guard. After eating a quick French breakfast to kill some time, you walk up to the French museum. Clearly, it’s not open yet, so you ask the guard, “What time does the museum open?” He responds in French, “At ten o’clock.” Hmm, realizing you left your watch back in the French hotel, you wonder what time it is. You decide to pester the guard again and ask in French, “What time is it now?” Rolling his eyes a bit, the guard tells you that it is nine fifty. You start to mill around outside the door and start snapping pictures. The guard walks over to you and warns you in French to “put the camera away now!” Though you heed his request, you decide you’ve bonded with the guard after waiting with him for a few minutes, so you press your luck in French, asking “What about a video camera?” The guard, his patience worn down, replies in French, “Go ahead.” Now people back home will really believe you did more than eat delicious food in France!
