Misunderstanding...
-
I think one of the main problem is that people so deeply convinced that French people are rude just don't have the same standards...
Going to a country thinking there is a international norm and a "good" way of acting is a WRONG idea. Something normal in the USA will be rude in France... And something normal in France will be rude in the USA.
For instance, if you say to a French "talk to you soon!" and you're not planning to talk, you're just saying that to be polite, it is seen as RUDE. But for most Anglo-Saxons, it's not...
We've got different habits, that's all...
So it's NOT open-minded to try to understand a culture and a country through your own way of seeing the world...Alex 02 Jul 2008, 02:49 - Report
