Ha - sadly no! Though it did take me a few years to learn that you do NOT smile or make eye contact with French men. Very hard as an American. I was groped and mooned more times than I could count in France when I was a teenager - finally caught on. ;)

Sadly no. I wish I did. We do have family friends in Provence, but I made my French friends as a teenager and unfortunately I don't know where they are today. Your comments about the French reminded me of something someone in France told me about the British years ago ... "they think they are better than we are because they have a Queen". I still think that's funny. :)

Believe it or not, but there aren't many French people in Cincinnati. ;) The only time I get to use my French now is when someone wants me to proof something at work that will be used in Quebec, and Canadian French is NOT the same as Parisian French. Probably like British vs. American English.

Mooned? That's a bit much!

What about the letters though ;)

I never speak German either - waste of time really.

Many, many, many times. European men are interesting. I never ran into that sort of behavior in England or Ireland, but in France and especially Italy - oh my gosh. The Spanish men seemed sweet in comparison - my girlfriends and I were serenaded there a few years ago.

Granted - I couldn't understand what they were singing ... so who knows! :)

Well - I thought the comment was basically saying - do you really love the French? How closely are you aligned today? Not very if you don't have many French friends at present. If the point was something other than that - perhaps I did miss it.

But the fact remains that I spent many years learning about the country, its people, and the language - and maintain that fondness to today.

Maybe they meant the group Queen - their pop music is pretty dire.
