Was amazing!! The shopping... Oh my God, the shopping!! Eiffel tower, arc de triomphe, champs-elysee, galaries la fayette, the louvre museum, the notre dam cathedral.. The Latin quarter.. Everything in Paris was just... Wow...
But I couldn't stay there more than a week.. The weather was very bad, rains every other day, I got sick while I was there.. But it was totally worth it!!
Missed you guys

The shopping!!!
Paris is one of my favourite cities of the World...
MontMatre's my favourite district - the only place you'll see a McDonald's right next door to a porno movie theatre...

I stayed in Paris for the first time this past June, and I have to agree, it's a very nice city. Maybe too expensive for my tastes, but I was only there for a week so it wasn't too terrible on my wallet.
Would love to visit it again someday.

The best place to buy things cheaply in Paris, or so I've been told, are the housing projects in the outter city.
Also a wonderful place to get mugged, if you so desire. (And even if you don't.)
There's a metro in Paris, right?

Thank you
It is true about the getting mugged thing.. But it never happened to me, thank God.
The metro? I used all the time I was there! It's clean and very organized... Everyone uses it, even wealthy people use it... Some use it because they think it's better for the universe and all that stuff, and some use it because it's hard to find a parking spot. LOL!
Paris was amazing... It is a place I would love to live in!

Ah, the sweet smell of urine, loud shouts of an intoxicated drunkard and gum stuck platforms of the New York MTA subway system.
We mind as well clear out of it and let the 'terrorists' do the honor.
Oh, but there is one good thing between the NYC subway system than the Metro- more people here (NY) are enlightened about the miracle work of deoderant.

You mean New York City, right, Nitefyre. Because I think there are a lot of hicks up here in New York State that don't wear any.

I did
Except for one thing , which made me leave early.. I was supposed to come back today.. They don't have these things that are attached to the toilets... You use them to was yourself after using the toilet... I don't know what it's called in English.. I know they do not have it in the USA too.. That's so disgusting I don't know how you people can live without it!

Bidet?
Anyway in my country there's usually a small handheld shower next to the toilet seat and you can use it to wash your butt and private region. Now ain't it amazing that the richest "civilized" cultures usually just wipe after having a poopoo and no washing until much later when taking a full shower?
