I had noticed it, but thought that it was characteristic to all successful western countries. I do believe that the Americans have it in an even larger amount. <br /> The French have been exposed to culture and history since their birth, a trait distinguishing them from many others. It is hard to believe by a Romanian guy how come all the French young people play a musical instrument and exercice each week their favorite sport. It is hard to understand how come TV is much less important in their lives, replaced by philosophy books read in the metro or bus. <br /> It is therefore hard to understand, but acceptable that their way of life might be the right one. It certainly is better than our native one :) Thank you; it’s one of the best compliments I got so far :)

Can’t blame them… Are you sure you’re only 23? It seems that the Romanian educational system still gives impressive results!

I would add one thing to your description of the French lifestyle.
They are selfconfident, and convinced that their way is the right one. Can’t blame them…
