Interesting detail: The French equivalent of LOL is MDR (mort de rire - approx "dies laughing"). I was hoping for a chance to use that on this thread but, you know, mort d'attendre. Posts: 8467

Gold..... What is it good for? You can't eat it, you can't smoke it, yet everybody wants it.

Paris rocks. I was there for my work last winter and had hours to spare, so I just wandered around. It was freezing cold and all the cobblestones and trees were kind of sparkly. It was really sunny and Paris just took on a rather magical quality. It's the best place to do some people-watching. I ate something in a tiny, smoky café in the Latin Quarter and the waitress was so wonderfully rude - she just jerked her head at me instead of asking me what I wanted to order. This would piss me off mightily if someone did that to me here, but it was just part of the whole Paris experience at the time.
It doesn't matter if you don't do all the touristy things in Paris - the city just has a great atmosphere to soak up and enjoy. Just look out for the dog shit. I know it's been said before, but you can't mention the dog shit enough.
