I found this blog today and love it! I love France and Paris, too — I’m always dreaming of Paris. The few visits I have made, though, did leave me confused by Parisians’ tudes! On the one hand, I totally get it. It is a part of the culture. On the other hand, lighten up, people.! It’s just life, we, none of us, are getting out alive. Enjoy life!

I, too, will be stealing that line: “enthusiasm is considered a mild form of retardation.”

This is all true! Thank you!!
Paris SLEEEEEPS zzzzzZZZZzZzzZzzzz….
Wake up Paris!!! Live a little!
Go out to get the morning paper in your pajama pants for once! Yes, live a little on the risky side!
Geez, it’s like there is a constant fashion police out on the street! Sure Paris is beautiful, but it’s inhabitants don’t have any spunk! ZZzzzZzzzzzz…
Great, you know all the great phiosophers and can quote from them. But how about LIVING life instead of just analyzing it from a distance?
Stop thinking and just DO ! With some few exceptions, Parisiens all look sad and zombie-like as if they are all on downers.
And mon dieu, it’s as if smiling is a sin in Paris!
Word to the wise for tourists: Take a detour to Italy. Now the Italians know how to enjoy and LIVE life. Most importantly they smile and laugh and don’t take themselves so seriously!!!

Emma… Sadly!
Wendy… Well, merci. Glad you enjoy this little blog! Impeccable, I’m not sure but my English probably benefited from multiple stays in the US. That and listening to hip hop surely helped!
