  • Night clubs are very expensive. It is also very hard to get casual work in France.

  • The place that we had the most trouble was in Euro Disney. We found that the people were very rude to us. When we were there we got into a couple of fist-fights with the people there because we all had Canadian flags on our bags, and also because they cut in front of us for the line-ups for the rides. We also found the workers there were rude to us because we tried to speak French to them but they didn't understand us, then we tried to speak English to them, and they gave us dirty looks.

  • Outside the town of Bapaume there is a prison, but don't worry! I didn't! The town of Bapaume is safe from the prison as it is about 2 miles away.

  • Nobody drinks the water in Paris. Everyone carries bottled water. I have also heard that there are pick-pocketers on the Metro. I never came across anything like that, but be prepared for it.

  • Make sure you are well prepared for the site you are going to... remember that when driving down the Motorways that these are not toll free and that you'll have to pay approx 10 Francs per vehicle.

    Also - plan before you leave for your trip, checking weather and road conditions..

  • You pay for the motorways - but they are the best routes to take you to the place. - On the other hand, if you are there - take the really minor roads, they are great!

    In Bonifacio, be careful if you have the bright idea like I did to swim around this humungus rock. If you get too close and get pushed into it by the tide or wave created by a passing boat, you may get wounded by the many very sharp bits hiding under the water.
    But it's beautiful isn't it......

  • While in Paris, if getting off the Metro stop at La Defense (the big square monument on the outskirts of Paris), be wary that many gangs are in the area at night and also many gypsy types live here and many beggars and pickpockets taking advantage of the shoppers at the big 'mall' here. One young man tried to corner me in a phone booth here.
