You know, Yorick, France is not only Paris !
Paris is a marvellous town to go in holiday, but a hell of a town to work in. The noise, the cars, all stuff really expensive, people yelling at each others, ...
All the friends I've got who live in Paris are generally too tired in the evening to go out after their day's work. More so if they have kids.
I live in the mountains above Grenoble, I see big white mountains all around my house, now it is getting colder and the snow is for very soon I think.
I've always wanted to go visit Australia (the first expensive book I bought when I was a broke student was a book of pictures of Australia), but I think probably I have a rather stereotyped picture of your country in my mind ...Huge countries with a LOT of empty space are always fascinating for us living in tiny countries like France ! And I guess the 'Crocodile Dundee' movie didn't help either ('Ca flotte', as Paul Hogan said !)
