Forget the Ferrari and learn the french. Women will melt, and it endear you to France,and you'll be compelled to follow in Hemmingway's footsteps, meet amd fall in love with a beautiful young french girl you meet in the Jardins du Luxembourg. She will promise to love you always, but later break your heart when you both realize a bi-continental long distance relationship won't work. You'll briefly consider moving to Paris permanently then realize that Paris isn't as cheap as Hemmingway made it sound in the 20's-especially on a student's meager earnings- so you'll be forced to part ways leaving half your heart on Pont Neuf where you say your tearful goodbyes. You will leave half of your heart there on the bridge, and the warm mixture of sadness and joy you'll feel as you watch the girl blend into the crowd will stay with you the rest of your life, long after you've married and had children...

Ya...something like that..




Or you can learn spanish, order some beers, and find out what a donkey show is in Tijuana;)

As the Merovingian said, "I love speaking french-It's like wiping your arse with silk"
