French Hatin'

I'm quite fond of France and a sucker for a French accent.
When I was a little kid (60s-70s)my brother and the neighbor kids would play war as good American kids do, right after sundown- oncoming cars were nazis. I was a girl so the main role open to me was nurse. That sucked. Borrowing from movies, I chose to be in the French resistance, dodging car lights too, with my own version of an accent. (of course then my brother would slug me.)

France and Canada are both amazing countries well worth exploring. Its been my experience that as much as the "snooty" French stereotype is valid so is the classic "Ugly" American tourist. Which is to say both are exagerated, usually by the other.
