ugh my ovaries crapped out and it sucks. Trust me, you want a working set for as long as you can get it. If they fail, get ready to put on 30 lbs by just looking at a slice of bread and the thousands of fucking costly ass pills you take per day to keep you from getting cancer or turning into a dude.... ugh.
WELL... So here I am! My first impressions of Paris are pretty positive. The food is GREAT. Coffee - great. Croissant? What's not to like. The shopping (at least in the 5th District/Latin Quarter) looks really interesting. Saw an adorable tea set and umbrella that Ive got to have. Gonna peek around tomorrow. The streets are clean (even though the underground is filthy, Everyone needs to take a cue from London on that note - so efficient and clean) I have also found that the people are generally nice. I can not believe how many people stopped to help me carry my bags, get a train ticket, explain a map - and I didn't end up robbed. Right on, France. To everyone who says the French are nasty, they need to spend a fucking day in Germany and then come back and tell me if they think the French are snooty or mean. The French, so far, say hello, please, thank you, do you need any help? ect. as much as Americans do. Its like those words don't exist in the German culture.
I did notice that the French don't really care for anyone fumbling through their language. I have to think about the words before speaking them otherwise German or Spanish will come out. But I think they get frustrated with the time lapse and start speaking English. Sadly, I can communicate faster in German. However, They do not speak German. i think they are still Butthurt over that WWII Nazi takeover thing.
Looking forward to some flea markets. Starting classes on monday.
Oh, for the ladies. The fashion is just like any east coast city. Flowy and airy with structure. Lots of great hair. But don't worry, there's lots of ugly Euro-Fashion too. Keep an eye on facebook for the pictures.
Detroit says Hello! Hes sprawled out on the bed like some romantic era painting, except smelly and sweaty from the heat and lack of AC.
Hoping chitownoi and his wife come by this weekend for some touristy sight seeing!!!!
