[some advice While in france.]
One good line I heard in France from a
friend was:
Did he fartface you? Which is when a
French waiter sticks his nose up and
ignores you. Much like when he smells
a fart.
Rent a car when you’re in France and
blaze through the round-a-bouts like
a bat out of hell. France is your own
personal Indy Track.
I can’t remember too much more from
that trip. All of the French people were
pretty damn cool. A lot has changed in
Hossegor since last time I dropped in.
Its very tolerant now.
One good pointer is to tip the bartender
a buck or two. He’ll remember you, pour
your beers first and be psyched on you.
