I LOVE the East Coast where I spent most of my summers after I studied in Atlanta GA for a year in college. Not touching is VERY important in France. When he was young, my son was always reminded to "keep his hands in his pockets" whenever we entered a boutique!

Truth be told, most students send very positive feedback to me after their trips. I love reading their emails, when they tell stories of their travels in my homeland! I think there are nice and rude people everywhere, but it certainly is easier to feel "slighted" in crazy big cities like Paris where locals run around all the time!

I've lost weight, bought a new French perfume (Yvresse, divine!) am reading The Paris Wife' so you see this post is exactly what I need to read right now haha! I was also told when I went to Paris for the first time that the Parisians were very rude, I didn't encounter that even once, perhaps because I threw myself into the situation and even though I know my accent is definitely not perfect, I tried and as you say they appreciated that. Good luck with your new semester starting, I would love to join your Saturday morning class, I can imagine that it would be so much fun.
