Looks like time to bring this congrats Alive Alive 0 again.

Reminds me of my Wifes French professor. He had just returned from France as a gift to self for getting his PhD from UCLA. So on his return he came over for dinner and we asked so how was the trip.

He said a major disappointment because the very first stop he made upon entry to Paris was a Parisian café and he ordered café au lait in "French" of course. (notice I got all the accent aigu correct cause Google speak input works almost like Siri)

The waiter said Oh an American or something of that order and he figured he could pull off a French accent and pass as a Frenchman - After all PhD and 25+ years in school but could not even pass as Frenchman.

This example was wayyyy before you were even born - The French Professor was thin and tall. Perhaps taller than the average Frenchman.
He was very hurt that all those years of education and he could not pull off just a simple order in a cafe and not get busted.
He needed a tutor. Me at the same table I just point to something that looks good and gives a sign to waiter that give me one of those.

Strange as it may be. Everyone one and I mean EVERYONE I No has issues with Parisians.
That just never happened to me. Just the opposite and on my money on trips with Girlfriends and just myself on my money and on other peoples money.

At most I spent 3 to 7 weeks on an assignment from time to time working out of Paris or on vacations with GF's (GF's of different eras) I can share many examples via stories but will just give one.

On a Wine Tasting Trip with my most Fav Wine Teacher Lawrence Balzar. And with my Best Gal Friend who was a GirlFriend without the Benefits! Adored her and she adored me, but we both concluded that Friends wood B the way it Wood B - So Vicky her real name and I had a few days to just spend cruising around Paris. With map in hand we quickly learned to hide the map because, Parisians went overboard to be helpful when we had no need for HELP - The Map was put away.

So we end up lost in the myriad of twisting streets and a Maze we felt trapped in because we ended up at the starting point three times trying to get OUT.

Finally with Map in hand we knew we wood get more help than we needed. Bottom line a group of Parisians gathered around us and waved a Taxi over - NOT FOR Us to take, because as it so often turns out in Paris, one is only two or three streets away from the Paris~exit. The Cab driver who new no english. just waved his hands for us to follow his Taxi - We on foot followed him a couple of streets and WE COULD See our way Home.

Taxi could have said get in to cab- Could have made some money off of us. WE Were ready to PAY - Anyway so many stories of how helpful Parisians are.

Another but very partial - Was in Love and was dumped on the phone back home. (She did come back to me later but I said NO WAY Never again) {This on and off occurred multiple times}

I was on the metro looking for the a museum and got LOST. Of course I was situationally depressed from being dumped. I needed help finding the museum point to depart the metro and asked out loud in my English - Can anyone please help me. Three gal's traveling together said OF COURSE

NO NO I did not connect up other than as friends with these clearly lovely gals - All were on way to work for a TV station. All offered me to take a tour of such TV Station - Details for some other time but the story is in MC or TC archives.

I was Heartbroken and did NOT want to return home - TV station manager hired me on the spot and why - Has to do with the Falkland islands. I had at that time NO Prior knowledge of the Falklands. I had a great deal of Knowledge of the KEY to what succeeded Argentina in making lulz out of British Navy brand new ship.
