We've had complaints from our french friends because this site is in english. Well, english is an international language and because we have friends all over the world (yes, indeed), it was natural to use english as the language of choice in order to communicate our adventures. As well as because we give this site's adress to the people we meet on our path, it is easier for them to understand it with their knowledge of english then start learning french, innit?
If France was the center of the world, well french would be the language used here, George W. Bush would probably speak french (scaaary!!!!) and the world would smell like cheese...
This is a good opportunity to apologise to our english speaking friends about the mistakes in the text. It is not our intention to hurt your beautiful language; it's just that english is not our mother tongue (actually it's french ;-) and trying to learn russian does our head in sometimes...
Thanks for reading us, whatever your language...
