Those French people ...

Ok I now begin to understand why French have this reputation abroad ... arrogant, rude and selfish ...

It is the first time that I experience a group of french people among other nationalities ! I have already been abroad but I was alone.. here is completely different !

Yesterday I was in class of Business Communication and then Marketing with 8 other French (Marine, Aldrick, Ludo, Magda, Sebastien, Aurélie, Julien and Cosme) among a class of around 40 people ! We were at the back, all together and we couldn't prevent speaking during the whole duration of the class... I think the other students are really shocked that we behave such a rude way, at least the way they look at us let me think so...
All the Asian students of course but strangely enough also the German guys and the Dutch are really serious during the class or at least quite ...

The Asian student laugh at all the crappy jokes of the teachers, but I am not really surprised of it lol !

No what is really surprising is that for the first time in my life I was ashamed of belonging to the group of French people ..
Julien and Aurélie every time they were saying something to answer the teacher were speaking about France and French people even if the question had nothing to deal with European customers behavior ... it sounded sooo selfish ! and then the professor (who is a German guy) said that "in Japan young people are really respectful of their professors, while in France the teacher is the ennemy" .... oups he does hate us :( !!!!

French are really strange animals ... I think I will learn a lot during those 5 months !!
The professor showed us diagramms about country trends in terms of values .. (typical marketing studies..) and we are always away from the other European countries .. I will try to find more studies cause I am pretty surprised !!!

I spoke with a Thai guy at the end of the class and here is his impression about Europeans .. we are really cold at first time and it is difficult to break the ice but then we are really nice to hang out with ... Good point, cause on our side we are really not at ease with the way they smile to everybody with big "Hello" and "How are you" all the time on the campus ... It sometimes feels like we are in Disneyland with everybody happy and friendly !!

I am in class right now, so if I want to begin to stop being rude I must stop now ;)
