I'm looking forward to my French club meet today, over a bowl of soup. Last time, our Chinese member explained to us, in French, the difference between Cantonese and Mandarin. My nouveau ami from Belgium, "Jules," broke out in singing a French rendition of "Sinterklaas Kapuntje" when I told him my background is Dutch.
