My, ah, two of my friends are from there. But ah, let's see . . . I could talk all night to you about France, but, ah, Egypt . . . some of the people there were amazing. Or, uh . . . one person in particular, anyway. Guy was insanely smart, to start with, and kind of stuck up, all mature and serious, but you know he wanted to laugh beneath it.

[He was the best part of the past two months.]
But France!
[MOVING ON]
France, oh, Yukina, you've never seen anything like it. The food, the culture, the romance-- every day is a romantic adventure in France! And the food is spectacular, of course, we're a culinary delight-- and the language! It's a beautiful language, the whole world oughta be speaking it.
