the French seem rude but they are not.
the World is France, the rest , ....
all you have to do is try to speak french and they can be very polite
and helpfull
it also is important to know a few basic manerisms, and if you dont
know these they will think yuu are a barbarian.
going into a store , they say Bon Jour ... and a polite replay is
expected. even in very bad french.
etc.
in Montreal the city, good luck asking for directions in english.
just try very bad french, they might take you where you want to go
erc.
Please to ahve seen Tombstone last night 1080p
its very different from True Grit.
Its Big Time Hollywod. Charton Heston ?? Q>E>D>
True Grit is probably more like the west really was.
of course the movie to find in HD is Missouri Breaks"
Jack Nicholson, Marlon Brando
if you come up w a 720 or 1080 of that Ill take it.
anyway, the french are very nice once you understand the world revolves
around France, even in Quebec.
cheers
happu cooking
