Personal comments
I didn't realise before I left home that French Creole would be as widely used as it was. Apart from on the university campus, this was the main language, and it was therefore more difficult for me to communicate locally. I don't feel as though my French improved very much, although my understanding of the local dialect did! However, my trips to mainland France have been very beneficial.

Yes! The "Securite Generale" had a very big surprise for us! Everybody needs to get privately insured, otherwise -if hospitalized- they are going to pay more than 1,000 euros....:(
