newsuser, i understand that parisians can be nasty but lets not generalise , the entire french population is not like that..you know theres a saying here among the non-parisians who them too are not quite fond of the parisians ..it goes : parigot , t?te de veau = parisian haru bachho ko tauko..if translated in a jpt manner..some parisians are arrogant allright but they do not represent the entire french population
