That's perfectly all right. However, a statement like "What on earth is France good for?" doesn't really convey that intention. It conveys a certain bigotry. |

Yeah you are right, but it would of been worse I guess If I would not of followed that with, "I understand the reason..." and "...was not beleiving that they were cowards..." that confused it even more.. ;) |

Look the French are as bad as the Italians.
Is that something we all agree on? |

From what I know, nightclubs in America close at 2 am. (And in the very very advanced progressive city of NYC, at 4 am.) |
Nightclubs stop serving in NYC at 4, but many don't close.
For example, Crobar is open until 6-7 almost every Friday night, sometimes later. PvD spun until 8:45 when he played there last year. Pacha is the same way. On Saturdays, Crobar has DJs like Victor Calderone that START at 5 am, playing until noon or so. |

| from my experiences travelling with french backpackers abroad i found them to be very friendly, cultured, and open-minded - which is more than i can say for quite a few other countries :) |

Trancaholic, I disagree with the "very friendly" bit. |
Well, maybe compared to the US (where most people are extremely open and friendly I think) the French can seem reserved (and at least their PM is an arrogant prick). However, in my experience, when you get past the initial meeting with people, you will find that the French are extremely funny and helpful. Kinda opposite to the US, where people are very likable at first encounter, but rarely involve themselves with strangers to a deeper level of commitment. Example: I was hiking in some mountain last time I was in France, and met this small dog about 1 km up the mountainside. It looked like , so I took it to a trough of water some distance down, and from there to my bike at the bottom of the mountain. However, I had no way of transporting the dog to a vet, no way of putting it on a leash, and the darned dog kept running back and forth on the road, and I feared that it might get run over/cause someone to drive off the road. So I found this French family who was having lunch in the open, and tried to explain to them that the dog wasn't mine, and that it needed to be taken to a vet/kennel. Their English was extremely bad, but in a matter of minutes, they promised to take the dog off my hands, and get it some help. I mean, how many people in the US would accept a dog from a complete stranger (and a foreigner at that), give it half their lunch, take time out of their day off, and drive it to a vet?
However, the language barrier is really a problem for the French. When you need help and ask for it in English, most get this expression of panic in their face and flee the scene.

Crobar does keep the music running, but my impression is that everything else close down at 4. I've spent way too much time wandering the streets of the village looking for somewhere to keep the party going after four in the morning, to simply accept your statement at face value. I've never had that kind of problem in a European city (or even a European town). |
