Don't get me wrong I'm very keen to get home to my favourite part of Australia, but I really don't want to leave here.

I'll be back (hopefully) in the not too distant future

 

Really, Lurker? To quote Diana Dors: "I think Paris is the most over-rated city in the world."

 

What really surprised me was how many ugly warehouses and run-down areas of Paris there are, that don't make the postcards and the 2nd unit footage in movies. They must use the same two city blocks in every movie.

 

The people are also really rude, but they are all over France, so that was no surprise.

 

There are so many more beautiful and romantic cities in Europe: Venice, Vienna, Prague are some of my favourites...

There are only two places in the world where we can live happily: at home and in Paris.

According to you, first Sydney is over rated. And now Paris is too. What gives?

 

You obviously stayed in some industrial ghetto way (WAY!) out of Paris beyond the ring road of the arrondissiments. And even then way (WAY!) beyond that.

Really? I acted my usual self all lover Europe and they all reciprocated with the same polite friendliness, but then the French attitude never did bother me much 😉

That's nice.  I'm glad you enjoyed your European experience.  How about you leave me alone to enjoy mine?  

You think this is about you, LOL! If you want to be left alone on your holiday, how about turning off the computer and experiencing it?

Paris must be even more boring than I remember if you want to spend your holiday chatting on an online forum... But then I suppose that's preferable to chatting to the Parisians, LOL! Woman LOL

Are you in some weird time warp? It's almost 3 weeks since I was there and posted about it.


Oh, I get it. It's Friday night and you have no one and no where to go. Did you get grounded for not finishing your homework?
