I’ve obviously lived in a different world to you.

Comparing France with the UK is like comparing Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg and Germany, for example, as one entity, with England. Its just not a valid comparison. Only different regions of a common country, ally. Your comparison is wrong. |

"I’m French … so I wonder, do you guys, foreigners, love it so much here cause you don’t always understand everything people say? …"
That's a curious - passive-aggressive? Certainly unpleasant - thing to say, isn't it? I wonder what his motives were.
Perhaps just a touch arrogant? So authentically jeune français 😁 |

Of course it's nonsense.

"I’m French, only been back a year and I already regret leaving the uk… so I wonder, do you guys, foreigners, love it so much here cause you don’t always understand everything people say? Or is it because you come better prepared, psychologically, for the insane amounts of procedure, appalling customer service and general aggression?… i don’t understand why someone would willingly choose to stay and commit to this country without pre existing family ties…"
There are so many negative posts about the UK on forum that it's interesting to see what French in UK think. I was talking to a young lady at our bank and she had recently returned from the UK. She was of similar opinion and the only reason she returned to France was because of the UK weather!
I guess it depends to a certain extent why you move to France. We wanted to try to live in another country for the adventure and so you take all the administration etc as part of that. Afterwards it's the people you meet and the way your lives shape up that decides whether you continue or not. |
