The french are special people. From a north american point of view, if you spend anytime in a country that has over 280 different types of cheese, you will go insane!

1) Doing business, which is really my only concern...
It is a nightmare!! There are more rules, regulations and paperwork than I could possibly imagine to tell you. The difference between the anglophone capitalism and french business practices is like night and day.

2) About the hygene...
Well, deodorant is easy to find at the ED's or Inter Marche but Anti-persperant is impossible to find. And if you do, it's in a small can and costs a lot. And forget about finding dental floss or Listerine.

3) Culturally the french are very conservative...
You go to their websites and will find anything that shows more than tits is blocked out. Plus shooting condomless is hell to do. Also, Gonzo or pushing the enevelope is just not something most French Women are willing to do.

Talk to Jochim or Liza Harper and both will tell you better than I. There was 1 true pornographer and that was Patrice Cabanel. All the rest are trying to be something that I have never been able to figure out.

4) As for the language...
Unless you speak it with either a Québec or a Parisien accent. It will never be good enough for a frenchman! I'm from the Gaspésie and my poor husband is Newfoundland Acadien. No matter what we say or how we say it. Everyone switches to english on us.
I used to get angry about but one day my husband pointed out that Parisiens get pissed off with Northern Frenchmen for the same reason. The Accent!

It was the French that made me respect what a truely great country the United States is. And it was France that made me see that seperatism was bullshit and just how awsome my Québec half of my heritage is. (We have come a long way baby!)

But I do agree with you on one thing...
There are some fantastic people in France!
If you meet the right ones, it's increadible!!!

And just like the people tend to run hot or cold. Frenchmen penis tends to be either really small or extremly big!
