OK... I thought your post had said you were from France and wanted to go back type thing, which is your prerogative for sure, your choice.... but some staunch citizens of present/host don't like criticism of their homeland is all; when I came to Canada on my own at 18 and working right away if I at least said one thing about where I was born, not even a comparison, just a statement some people I worked with said: well if you don't like it here you can always go back on the boat! I didn't have the nerve to tell them/her that I flew over! Honestly was not a criticism from me, but I learned to be very careful how I phrased my chit chat after that and never really felt accepted... times have changed a lot since then. Also mimicked for my accent etc. So this from me now means nothing.. except I do so miss my FAMILY over the years still there and am not ashamed to say so, but that country and France and many are not the places they were we remember - the whole world has changed and not for the better.. take care and maybe do not buy a ticket yet, just go visit and then decide 🙂 J.
