After Show @ COBO Thu May 6 2010

After last night's show spent time chatting to a French husband + American wife. The French guy knew of the French company I work for. He was surprised that I knew of his southern France town of Toulouse....thanks football! The American wife lived there for 7 years, struggled to get a permanent job, decided to move back. Discovered that France is one of the most socialized countries with up to 19% sales tax. 35 hour work weeks with 2 hour lunch breaks and "what's the hurry" mindset (sounds like Pune). Back in the US, she had foot surgery (

bunions), a limp in her walk, and was fired from the Art Gallery because her limp did not fit in with the Gallery's image. We parted ways with an assurance of "we will definitely be back!" from both parties.
