The first thing that fascinated me about Paris, and created my obsession with living here, was the Paris Metro. I love trains and public transportation systems. Paris by far has the most efficient system I have ever experienced. I'll know by next week about London. I loved New York's and hope to one day experience Moscow's. Toronto's is ( Read more... )

So we have been planning to go to Karaoke for weeks now and we finally went last night at La Taverne near St. Germain De Prés (Metro line 4). Before I talk about the place, I have to explain something that is only now hilarious in retrospect. So, my friend Jake essentially organized the whole night. To start, he picked a place near Strasbourg-St ( Read more... )

The passed weekend was spent shooting. I got a part in a student film shot here in English, taking place in Ohio of all places. When I read for the part that I got, I wanted it so bad. I loved the character. She's the lead singer of a band, one foot out of the door of college with one more year left. She's fabulous and cynical, disenchanted ( Read more... )

Mom and I went to Chateau de Versailles today. Versailles was everything I wanted it to be since reading so much about Marie Antoinette and the rest of the French monarchy. It takes about 45 minutes on the RER C train to get to the Versailles Rive Gauche stop. (Which is the last stop and you MUST be sure you are on the right train, because the C ( Read more... )
