PIERRE DESCAMPS

I’m from a small town near Marseille, France. I’m studying English at a school for international students. I’ve been in L.A. for one week and I will be here for two more weeks. I really like Hollywood because I love cinema. My favorite films are by David Lynch. Donnie Darko is also one of my favorites.

I can go anywhere on the bus or train. Tomorrow I’m going to Santa Monica—I love the beach. I like Los Angeles but I already miss France, especially the food. I’ve enjoyed the Chinese food, Mexican food, and Korean food, but I think French food is better. I think we have the best cuisine.
