Yourinternational© has helped me a lot with the transition from Canada to France. When I heard I was going to France to work for 8 months I was very unsure and nervous because I only was slightly fluent in French. I had also never been to France in my life. Yourinternational© has made my transition much easier. Before I left for France, and during my stay your website was my main source of information. It was very useful as it contained all the information I needed being an expatriate. Before leaving for France the culture and tourism pages were very useful. The culture page provided me with excellent information on how to better fit into the French culture and not stick out as being a tourist. Because of this my culture shock was quite minimal as I already knew what to expect. Thanks to your tourism page I already new what places I wanted to visit in France, before arriving. While in France I used the other paged very frequently to. They provided me with good information on the French business environment and how to conduct business in France. Overall I think that this website is outstanding and a MUST for anyone to read before they go abroad.
