Dimanche 28 Mars 2010 First day of Spring Break

I flew out of Beauvais Airport to Glasgow Prestwick. On the way to Beauvais, I had to buy a bus ticket to get there. At first I said to the man working at the register, "Je voudrais un billet por Beauvais sil vous plait." He started talking to me in French and I had to say, "Desole, je no comprends, parlez vous anglais?" He did and he begrudgingly sold me the ticket. It seems like when I start speaking in French to people and then fall short on vocabulary and have to revert to English, people almost seem to be more offended than they would be if I just used English from the beginning, but I don't know.
