In Quebec, I have been ignored by waiters and generally treated with disrespect by shopclerks because I did not speak French. I have not been back since 1978.

Edited for spelling and to add that I've been made to feel uncomfortable in North Wales by folks who stop speaking english when the shops close and switch to Welsh in the pubs. But, I'd go back a hundred times before I'd step foot in Quebec again.
