My experience in France was that the snob was more than occasional. Forget trying to speak to them in tourist French. Spain was amazing though, I can handle the language after hanging with Cubans, Puerto Ricans and Mexicans much of my life. Italy was awesome, especially the food and the women.

Red Neck? Guidos? Hicks? Good ol boys? The French have their own version as does every society, they just give them different names. For the record I speak fluent red neck, cracker and cowboy. If you ever find yourself landing out in Central Florida and encountering an irate one of the above mentioned I suggest you call me. Remember, "ya'll" is singular, "all ya'll" is plural.
