(or three interactions) but the three French people I've met in London
today really just aren't that friendly. I have nothing against them
or anything but I really miss the warmness of the Irish and Scotch
people. I hope Scotch is the correct term.....
Scratch that. My waiter was very nice but the three girls I've met at
the hostel talk to me for about 1 minute and then get rude....mostly
when they find out I'm from the US
And you know what I'm wrong again. Lucy at the reception desk is
French and she was ultra helpful.
Very interesting. Maybe it's just travelling French men and women
Now I'm starting to think it's me and not the beard that's scaring
people off. Or maybe it's because I turn the word "oil" into a three
syallble word.
But alas, Paris is still on the radar for tomorrow. Really thinking
about passin through for the night and catching a night train somewhere.
On another note, everyone I met at the Queen's Head tonight was very
cool. Once they warmed up to me and treated me as a local I had a
great time. At one point my waiter asked me quite inquisitively, "How
did you find this place," as if only locals knew about it. I
explained to him that on my walk to Primrose Park I had noticed the
Queen's Head and it looked like a friendly place with good food(turns
out i was correct). Quite glad I stopped in there and hung out for a
while. The Queen's Head will leave me with fond memories of the Big
Pear as the locals call London
Ok so i completely made that up but I could sooooooo see Londoners
trying to copy "The Big Apple" name like that. Sort of like SV people
and their "copyness."
Goodnight one and all....walking tour of London tomorrow and hopefully
LAUNDRY day.

First off Scotch is used to describe liqour or eggs, not people and can be verrified at this link: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Scotch
ReplyDeleteAlso many french people do not like americans because of the large amount of anti-american propaganda: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1571/is_10_19/ai_100962877/
It is up to guys like you to change their opinion. FOr a quick video on french culture I recommend this one by the Flight of the Conchords: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlMuwdmBhTk
