I'm sure many of you have spent the last five days crying into your pillows whilst hoping for my swift return
Well, I've spent the last five days in 'au capital au Francais' (that's probably how you say 'you stink of a thousand unbathed skunks') and I have to say that it was an experience that I wouldn't have missed 'for the World'.
The French way of life is strikingly different to that of England, with chivalrey a practiced art; guys helping with suitcases and willing to give directions for no benefit of their own (except for the hand sneaking to pick a pocket) Everything is so relaxed that it's almost surreal - guys getting caught short and going on the main street, Red lights ignored and lifetime alcoholics roaming the street corners
Although Paris is relaxing it isn't the greatest city in that it stinks of 'P', is VERY expensive and not the safest. Having said the previous it was bloody fantastic for five days - simply to enjoy some culture and a place that is unbelievably relaxed seems the perfect setting for a quick break abroad
But of course it would be rude of me not to mention the specific people - to be more precise; the women - 'ooh la la' as they say. As for the blokes ... well ... they are very friendly but I suspect they're all fairly gay. Joke. They may wear skintights but they always seem to give members of the opposite sex very blunbt views.
Paris' many monuments were amazing, and all seem to involve views from high (expensive) and breathtaking works of art - such as the ornate and very well documented Eiffel Tower.
The only real downside to Paris is the expense, fact I can't speak a sentence in French and the smell
Visit it. I'm too tired for spell-checks or details on the monuments - read a guide book for the latter.
I will finish with one observation; I saw more Americans in Paris than when I went to New York. Well ... heard is more appropriate. There seemed to be numerous fat women saying sentences slotting in with the 'Yank' cliche;
'...So I was all like, don't go there...'
'Y-e-ah that is so amazing and I like have never heard something as so like good or whatever...'
There were too many americans. From the top of the eiffel tower, I was hoping it'd fall over and impale one.
That and hedge trimmers.
