[quote=Anonymous]I'm French. This has been happening for some time now, you just didn't notice. 35 years ago, I can remember Parisian waiters in cafes not speaking a word of English and treating non-French speaking tourists like second-class citizens. You couldn't go to a restaurant bathroom without being afraid of catching something. Gradually France has awoken to the realization that it makes a ton of money on tourism and that they'd better offer cleaner bathrooms, smile and speak English. The turning point was in the 90s when Japanese tourists started appearing en masse, spending staggering amounts. [/quote]
