You're French right? How do you find living in England?
Interesting and sometimes puzzling.
I have been living here for 13 years and my wife is English.
Living abroad broadens the mind and helps to realize the good and bad points of my homeland.
It also helps to be more open-minded and tolerant to other people point of views.

Yes, it does. You quickly find out that the stereotypes are bullshit.. I like France, one of my biggest regrets is not learning to speak French when I was younger.

My wife burned her French books after having a F at her GCSE...
When she was 16 ,she thought she will never need to speak French...
As my family all speak quite good English , it was a true assumption.
I love English tailoring for sure...

Renzo Piano along with Richard Rodgers were the architects who designed the Pompidou centre in Paris. The real talents however behind the Pompidou were Ted Happold and the late Peter Rice.
