Pushy French are world's worst tourists: study

[Randi]

Well, I guess there are all types - I know this very nice French couple who now live in Copenhagen (actually they were born in Spain, but they lived in France most of their lives, and still have a house in Paris). They are simply the nicest people you can meet - OK, they have travelled a LOT, have three children and a one eyed cat (Dali). Of course... cat people has to be nice.

However, the way they speak English is SO charming.

Yeah, Spanish people are ok, I've known a few of them, and Portuguese to are a nice sort of people.
We had a Danish family living near us recently, there daughter Phia was one of my daughters friends, they were in the same class at school. Phia's mother worked as a professor of science at the university. A lovely lady, and a real fitness freak.....last year she had a stroke...she was like only 42 yo, so tragic it was. So they had to sell their house and move back to Denmark.
Hubby was also a professor, but couldn't find work here at the uni, and was driving taxi's. So they had to move back so that he could find better paid work teaching in Denmark, as his wife needs lots of care and all. The Dr's doubt she will ever be able to return to her work, as the stroke rendered her almost speechless.
Terrible thing to happen to her, she was a really nice lady.
