France
Undoubtedly this is a country of extremes. Extremes in terms of the geography the landscape, and extremes in terms of the experiences and the people.
France is a country that has exceedingly good things, but also ridiculously bad. The people range from the warm and friendly to the arrogant and ignorant.
In an attempt for you to create your own image of France and to tie it in with the experience of the last week here are the key phrases and words that link the experiences with the impressions.

This was one of the most striking reverse culture shocks I have experienced, considering the period of travel was just a short 1 week. The difference in the average size of human from the south of France to the North of England, in particular Manchester airport out side all the pie shops (Pizza Hut, Burger King etc) was ridiculous. Going from tanned, fit slim, healthy looking people, to pasty, fat, lazy, wasters that littered the airport. I myself felt physically sick on arrival, and now realise that our country has some serious issues to address.
