No, theres two of us!
I'm sure something more to your liking will come up for you. I don't believe in much, but usually if you conduct yourself in a manner like you did I do believe something good eventually will come up.
I was in France like 10 years back and there was an American veteran there visiting for the 50th anniversary for the end of the war. Him and his wife were having a tough time figuring out what platform their train was going to be at, and the French folk weren't feeling like speaking English to Americans that day. I was travelling with a some friends and my french was good enough to get by and one of my travelling mates was really fluent in the language. So we found out where and when their train was coming and assited them getting there as the train station in Caen required you to go up and down a set of stairs to get to the platform (no elevator). In talking to them I felt a bit bad that people weren't quite as thankfull to an American Veteran who'd fought there there as they seemed to be to us Canadians who's parents hadn't even been born when that war was fought.
It was a good time to be in Europe though. Everyone in France, Holland, and Belgium was offering us discounts. Even the girls in the Redlight district claimed 25% discounts for Canadian boys. The Germans just spat at us when we went to Germany.
