From Your Author
Pardon my French, but I married a Frenchman, so I'm well-versed in the idiosyncrasies of the French people.
They do indeed have the best bread, cheese, and wine in the world, but that doesn't excuse ungrateful behavior when traveling abroad. Oftentimes, people will complain about the rudeness of the French people, and that usually stems from confusion and cultural differences, in my experience. Having spent time with many French folk and parlaying across the pond, the French woman in this story was just downright impolite. Taking advantage of her friend and his wife's hospitality, she felt entitled and empowered to criticize every single effort they made to make her comfortable.
It's not the French culture that's troublesome abroad; it's the travelers from any country to go somewhere new and expect it to be just like home. Alas, not everyone has the opportunity to travel to other countries, but when you do, be sure to expect a few differences here and there. That's what makes traveling enjoyable in the first place, isn't it?
PS: Meanwhile, I'm traveling myself in the land of the snow, enjoying the Eastern Sierras in California. It's nothing like home, and I love it that way.
