     You don't need to not speak the language for that, it's the default here.

     @sapphire@shortstacksran.ch so America has problems but her life was amazing here, just has political issues, then France is "an amazing country" when she couldn't even find the groceries she is used to :despair:
     
     Revoke her citizenship, she is French now.

     Yes that's normal, the system is crumbling because of the bankers.
     And private sector doesn't develop because very few can afford them.

     @lain @coolboymew @sapphire It makes me laugh, the good thing about being an expat in my own official country and working/moving all around is that I learned that the neighbors grass always looks greener but isn't.
     It's unfortunate for them to not have found happiness here tho.

     That's pretty much most of France aside Paris. No banquet, no Friends.
