Wanna hear a funny story?
It's nearly impossible to find Grey Goose in France!

When it hit it big in the US market that was because of the marketing which I believe was done by the same company who brought Jagermeister there as well.

I remember telling you before something in regards to Germany and how you feared to be perceived by the locals and I said not to use the past as a deterrent.
The French are assholes but fear not they don't discriminate, they hate everyone even themselves .

My best policy in regards to rude remarks about being american ( I am also french btw! dual citizen ) is to brush them off.
The biggest issue is that people around the world ( and mostly europeans ) tend to forget their horrible past and as such fail to try and be humble as they aren't historical examples of perfection in terms of global relations and governance co-operation.

Just stay discreet and don't impose yourself too much as a bloody american and all should be well.

France has some aspects which makes it one of the best places in the world to live with it's beauty etc ... it's just sometimes you have to deal with the people


Personally I don't care what country it is around the world and the relations with my originating country but I wish to be able to visit the most countries around the world.
To name a few places I'd love to go to which americans would never consider to visit would be Iran etc

back to the attitudes at customers, i think the worst I've had was on cairo. For some reason they were picking all the asians out for special attention, pushing them off to a room with no explanation for about 2 hours. Nationality was not a part of it, they picked the one asian girl from a group of french citizens, a lone south korean male, and my wife. they were very aggressive, refused to give any indication what was going on. Given the flight only landed at 2am, and there was no other flights ,why did it take 2 hours to do nothing? They weren't calling or checking things, no computers, just being racist bullys.

Also had one arrogant bitch at johannesburg airport who couldn't find my entry details in my passport (probably cos there were 8 or so of them and she couldn't fine the recent one), then couldn't find them in the computer and insisted I must have snuck across the border somewhere. She was really getting into how I must be a criminal when she called her boss who found the records on the computer in about 10 seconds, and in another 20 seconds found the entry visa. Still, it was one annoying git on a power trip, every other time has gone very smoothly

my Le Cordon Bleu Chef/Teacher was french...such a fucking asshole..i think he represents the french when it comes to arrogance - spot on.
