I had to read 3 times but I got it

Oh I've been several times in Germany (and even lived there several years when I was very young). I don't know if they are more nice than the French, but their hotels are WAY cleaner!

Do you know where the French hide their money?
- Under their soap

How can you say this about a country which is a class of its own when it comes to cosmetics industry?

A lot of hotels here are French, I like Accor group, it looks like they own every hotel in Dresden's famous Prager Strasse.

From the Accor group hotel at Guisanplatz in Bern you have the best view over the city and the mountains and it is very well connected to the centre, it's very clean, too, I can only recommend it.

Yes, but those hotels are in Germany. Go to a small family hotel in Paris! When you come back one year later you can still see your steps on the floor

Na, they have all these shops in Paris, and no, they are not only for tourists

Yes, I don't know if it was a family hotel where I lived, but it was a small hotel close to Gare de Lyon and Pont Neuf, it was very clean.

I'm only a two hour drive from Montreal and don't go as much as I should. It is a great place, That's for sure. From what I've been told, they have the best peeler bars in the world... not that it matters to me.

I've travelled across Canada a few times and my experience in Quebec wasn't too hospitable to say the least. This despite the fact I could speak French decently at the time. (I've lost most of it now due lack of use over the years) When they figured out I wasn't a native French Canadian they refused to converse with me in French. This unfortunate incident occurred at a gas station when we required directions. We made up our minds after that episode to bypass Quebec and travel through the States instead.

The ironic part is, one of my friends is originally from Quebec and he doesn't have an attitude like the ones I encountered in my travels. Go figure.

They were all really nice to me. Not just in Montreal either, out in the boonies too.

you are French Canadian? That explains a lot.....

Montreal is cool though.....
