    I know that plenty of French people have a real disdain of those who speak English in France. Many of them claim that if people at least put in an effort, they feel okay about it.... but from what I learned from getting to know actual French people very well, they are just saying that. In truth, they tend to think of English speakers, especially Americans, as inferior to them in most ways...... Of course, many French people tend to think of all other nationalities as inferior to them in most ways, lol (of course, Americans tend to think along the same lines about themselves... My theory is that this long run 'dislike' that the French and Americans share for one another is a result of them having this quality in common (no offense to either the French of Americans... but come on, we all know that both are highly nationalistic and rather arrogant about their own ways, generally speaking).

    I like how Eddie often makes an effort and talks the language of the country PJ is visiting on the tours, it's very polite. :) (But off course people should feel free to talk in any language they prefer anywhere it shouldn't be an issue.)

    It would have been cool to know how to speak Greek and also more well spoken English :)
