Paris - March 2012

(via imemineimemine)

Every city has a sex and an age which have nothing to do with demography. Rome is feminine. So is Odessa. London is a teenager, an urchin, and this hasn’t changed since the time of dickens. Paris, I believe, is a man in his twenties in love with an older woman.

Seriously, Paris is extremely photogenic. This is a very small portion of the 500+ pics I took.

Lourve - Paris

If you are ever in Paris, make sure you stop by the Lourve. Students get in for free (my poor student budget wept tears of joy). The place is too massive to soak in during one visit and if you have the time, I would break it up over two half-days.

Of course, you have to see Mona. Good luck trying to see pass the crowd.

Eiffel Tour - Paris

*Finally seeing this in real life, after years of seeing it in pictures and in movies…an unforgettable experience.

Paris Drives On The Right Side Of The Road

So don’t go confusing it with London, or else risk (almost) getting hit by a car.

Again.

Paris Likes To Provide Tricks To Keep Tourists On Their Toes

If a person comes up to you asking you to ‘sign’ a petition. Keep walking.

If a person tries to tie a bracelet on your wrist. Keep walking.

If that same person tries to follow after you. Run.

Never a dull moment, Paris. ;)
