I am British, but we don't generally have that good a relationship with the French.

I've met rude and arrogant gits in London as much as any other city, a lot is about upbringing and manners I think, and that we often expect people to treat us how we treat them, and are let down in that regards.

I don't think Riley will get much flak for being French during training. Instead I think she'll get mad respect from the other trainees because she's a veteran, who's fought and killed zombies, who's had first-hand experience of the more exotic types, and who survived in enemy territory. I expect that her colleagues are going to mostly be people who came from Boulder, who may have never seen a zombie before, let alone fought them.

i agree, except i think that most of the people in boulder are survivors. not LA survivors, but at least survivors of the zed.

Where in France did you guys go? I haven't had the pleasure of visiting myself, but from what I have read and heard in the big cities like Paris, they do tend to be douchy A-Holes. Out in the country however, I understand that they are a decent and friendly people. My guess is that it really has nothing to do with the country, rather the mindset of the big city.

That's the awesome thing about travel. There are beautiful places no matter where you go. The best ones though, are the ones that surprise you. I saw a picture taken in northern Afghanistan that could have easily been mistaken for the Irish countryside. I did a double take and re-read the caption.
