If that wasn't a setup it was a real dick move. I can't imagine they're making Lucky Star figurines anymore, that's gonna be hard to replace.

A receptionist in a camp in Bretagne refused to speak english to us even though it was later revealed she spoke it. She even snickered something along the lines of "you came to France speaking no french". Before that I thought the stories about smug frenchies like that were a myth!

On French chat, I proposed to my now wife in Paris and I speak a little French so we got by ok. The only time we got the stereotypical french snootiness was 2hen my wife ordered a hamburger. The waiter was insulted and yelling at here about us coming all the way to France for a burger.

You have to put the tiniest amount of effort into learning to say 'Parlez-vous anglais?' first and then they treat you just fine.

This isn't true, they just say 'non' and stare through you until you shamefully walk away.

A friend of mine who is half irish, half french was telling me about one time he was in a tabacconists in Paris and a tourist came in and tried to ask for something in understandable but imperfect french and everyone in the shop pretended not to understand him and so he left all sad and ashamed of his bad french.

How do you say "verry well, I'll butcher your mother tongue then" in French?

Also, yes, gently caress Bulgarians. I stayed in Bulgaria for three months and they will absolutely just refuse to engage with English speaking foriginers.

I was there with someone who spoke their language, and in one incident we asked someone how to get to X street but they just crossed their arms and stared at us like we'd farted at a wake.

people tend to like the things that they own. Especially something like that figurine, which has no practical value so presumably they only bough because of a sentimental attachment to the anime the character was from

I bet TPUSA had to get some A/V kid to set the projector up. I wouldn't be surprised if they asked the techie to make a background with the presidential seal that they could project behind the pres. I don't know, but they don't see like the most well put together operation.

That lady's pretty cool, except that she says you shouldn't keep a ton of books around for no reason. I need to surround myself with books because I live in a bad neighborhood and densely packed bookshelves are great for stopping bullets.

i went to france and spoke only a tiny bit of very broken french, just enough to ask how much something cost and say please and thank you and everyone i met was very nice and smiley and happy to help :)

Everyone I met in France was very nice, I only visited Paris and Versailles though. At one point I thought someone was being rude, I had asked a bartender if they take credit cards, and held out my card to help show what I was asking. The bartender told me, what I thought was "No Americans" so I left, I did not make a scene. But later I realized I had shown him my American Express and he was saying no to that, so I came back with cash and it was fine and I had a nice drink! Anyway, that is my Paris story, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk hosted on a towel full of junk outside the entrance to the Tower du Eiffel.

France is the only country I've been to where some people are actively hostile if you aren't a native-level speaker, but it's very much person-dependent. I met folks ranging from the snooty cliche all the way to the nice shop owner who acted out several barnyard animals for me to indicate what was in each sandwich when I was struggling for words (best: pushing up her nose and snorting to lead into jambon).

She's also said that's her personal preference and tons of books are fine if you actually read them sometimes
