Reagrds the language. Growing up in Montreal with all the cute girls I had an incentive to learn French besides being in a school which only taught French. The pressure on us to learn languages is not the same as in Europe where travelling 400 miles brings you to an other country. My friends told me that in India after about grade 5 all classes are taught in English. After deciding to go to the Netherlands I spent the year learning Dutch before going there and could speak decently. Made the experience far greater. Sounds like that was a great Thanksgiving you had. Im off for the weekend so have a good one all.
