I am a fan of France and the French people.

Reason 1: their wines.

Reason 2: their food.

Reason 3: their art. That is, ART.

Reason 4: they are obsessive and I understand that, being obsessive myself.

I could go on.

Amen to that! i've only had 4 bad experiences there. well not so bad but as to rudeness in the 3 times i'd visited. my best friend (whose french) and i decided to take a breather and go bowling after sight seeing one day.we got to the alley i said i'd buy the first round and when i ordered i ordered in french and the bartender was snobbish and acted as if he couldn't understand me. then in english i said "i want two fucking beers you moron" then he said that i didn't have to be so snotty" to that i responded: "i'm in your country so why shouldn't i speak your language?" he responded that "i didn't have the accent down right". don't got me wrong. not all parisians are that way. the guy was probably having a bad day. i still love the hospitality that i recieved whenever i've been there. be it paris or amiens. amiens. now there is paradise. the old architecture, the people, the ambiance of the town. just beautiful. white beaches with blue water, fishing, surfing, lounging......
