actually, in my experiences in Paris, I found that the Parisians were rude
to everyone, especially other Parisians.  Still, I'd much rather be in
Paris and not be able to speak French than in New York and not be able
to speak English...One hint about European travel, people everywhere seem
to be a bit more tolerant if you go in the off season.
