Someone told me French is relatively popular in Melbourne for some reason and there are many people who want to study it. Could see myself doing it for a couple of years if circumstances align. Sounds like such a fun city.

Wonder where Grundy's story took place. French tourists are some of the worst.

It was on Gran Canaria.

Worst tourists in Europe are probably the British. Wherever they go it's chaos.

Well, given all us who aren’t frogs are supposed to be uncultured compared to the French. Almost understandable until the French invented deconstructionist so called philosophy, the most inane, irrational, pseudo-intellectual nonsense ever to inflicted on our species.
As to French being popular in Melbourne I hadn’t noticed apart from on pretentious restaurant menus.

As to French tourists being the worst I suggest Americans take the prize. I was dreaming away on a marble seat at the end of the Taj Mahal reflecting pool when I overheard two Americans “Harry, where are the camels” “No camels here Doris, that’s Tuesday when we get to Turkey”.

Don’t know about chaos but their dietary requirements make we wonder why they bother to leave home.

You seem really knowledgeable, how do you do it?

Ayn Marx

Your point is ?

jadis

That I'm impressed and want to know where you get all this knowledge?!

I've also heard that Americans are not the best tourists. I've heard stories of Americans expecting the locals to speak English for example.
