How do you say “Damn foreigners” in French?
Prof Fruitcake asked:
My boss often hired international students during the summer. One foreign student dropped a hammer and my boss said ‘damn foreigner!’, then caught himself and tried to make light of it. Franz was standing nearby and my boss asked ” how do you say ‘damn foreigner in French?”.
Without batting an eye, Franz said “American tourist”.

Going to the French Riviera
Anyone have suggestions on a hotel that is 4 or 5 star for a 2 or 3 star price? I want to make sure we get a nice place for the two weeks were there but i want to try and spend as little as possible for we can spend more while in France. Cant wait to see the riviera!~
Can someone translate this paragraph in French without using online dictionary?

I chose this place because I think that Strasbourg is beautiful and full of historical background. I also think that this picture represents all the peace and beauty of this city. In the Strasbourg there is a museum of Strasbourg’s history. I want to go there for about a week. We will stay in the hotel Régent Petite France. Me and my friends will use a private vehicle. We can go to all sorts of museums and participate in the half-day excursion which involves a bus full of tourists. We’ll go to all sorts of places like Museums, parks etcetera.
