Paris

Oui, je suis en Paris en ce moment and it isn't as great as I thought it would be. Yes you get to see the wondeful Champs Elysées with the Arc de Triomphe at the end and the landmark Tour d'Eiffel shimmering in golden ecstacy in the frosty night. But, mon dieu, the traffic is astounding - Manhattan is far better, trust me! It's pretty dangerous too, especially in the little free-for-all at the Arc de Triomphe, where you can never be certain when someone's gonna cut across you. And the people - well, I can say I've met nicer folks. They're not too bad actually. I guess their lives are pretty hectic - you can see that in the métro. I've taken loads of pics already, will post some when I get back.
