    Do you all speak French there? Parlez-vous français tout là-bas? Ou parlez-vous aussi l'anglais? I guess it is starting to warm up by now, eh?

    I had to go to Paris a few weeks ago and beforehand went on a crash-course of learning French so as to be able to fit in better.

    It's like everything - I speak English but I also know some Hindi, some Italian, some Punjabi, some Spanish, and now . . . . some French. <g>

    I asked because I know that although England got Australia - France got New Caledonia. And I guess the Kiwi are ex-Englanders as well? <g>

    Do any sailing? I have never been there but I have heard that the water and the weather and the sailing is great.
