Default French Tourists to Myanmar


"Bram"


So, how many languages can the above average Englishman speak?


As far as I know Alfred is German.. So his presence here proves
that he speaks German and English. For people from N/W europe
(like scandinavians, dutchmen and germans) it's not uncommon to
speak three or more languages quite fluently.


Most people in Flanders, even speak and write four, sometimes five
languages.
fluently

While most frenchmen only speak french
and some words in english.

"Mort"
Idiot !
Frogs dont go anywhere unless the people there can speak French, as
they are too lazy or ignorant to learn English


Well, 12,650 French people managed to enter Myanmar in 2001 - 2002,

http://www.myanmar.com/Ministry/Hote...mstatistic.htm

That's more French to Myanmar than Germans, Americans or Brits.

Sjoerd

In the tourism business, more people can speak French in Myanmar than
in Thailand.


Can hardly believe that but
even when that is true:

If one hotelowner or guide in Myanmar dare to start speaking french to me, i
will not be his customer.

And, yes, I have seen french tourists in Myanmar.
They were rude and haughty to the friendly local people, didn't made any
effort to understand the local traditions.
Some of then even were loudly quarelling.

One was shouting to a stewardess of Yangon Air for a reason, I can not
remember.

"Sjoerd"

I remember a sign on a restaurant in Bagan: "Ici on ne parle pas

Francais,
mais on mange bien."
Sjoerd


Heb je daar een foto van ?

yes.
of weet je nog waar dat was ?

In old Bagan, November 1987. That village no longer exists.

trace at tijd dot com

Or do you have a website with your pictures ?


Thanks
