Ok before I get a massive amount of hate mail about how I'm soooo pedestrian and bourgeoisie let me explain.
First of all, there is a waist high fog of cigarette smoke everywhere in France.
They smell really bad. You know when you go to Clematis and a bum staggers out of an alley toward you to ask for change, and he gets close enough for you to catch a good whiff of him? That's what they smell like.
I have never seen so many pissy, passive aggressive assholes before or after. It was like the entire country was populated by middle schoolers. And this was back in the late 90's, before the whole freedom fries debacle and us calling them cowards because they weren't going to help us bomb a useless plot of sand. You know, back before they had a reason to be pissy at us
Also, everyone talks about how attractive the frogs are. No. They all look like emaciated corpses.
But yeah, I guess they do have neat things to see in Paris. The only problem is, everything is covered in an inch think layer of grime. The entire city looks like it could use a good pressure washing. "Hey tour guide? What's the nasty, soot covered thing sticking out of the city?" "Zat is de Eiffel Tower!"
fuck the frogs
