Sleepless in Paris - Day 5?

Tip of the day for when you are in Paris:
"Look down when you're walking, or you will be stepping in dog poop, and stay in denial for an hour saying, no no it's chocolate ice-cream"

Funny scene happened yesterday, you know at metro stations here they distribute free newspapers, those that have light articles and a lot of ads. Anyway, after I got into the metro, the doors were closing, then people ran fast towards the door (I used to wonder why they did that, now I do it too), so I think the driver saw them and opened them again, but they closed so fast, and this woman's newspaper got stuck while she was still outside, unlike the usual, they re-opened the door, but the newspaper fell down, so she bent down to pick it up, and another woman came in the metro running and the door closed again, and the first woman got stuck outside, for a free newspaper! Haram!

They sell fruits here on carriages on the corner of the streets, it reminded me so much of Lebanon: "2 Euros, 2 Euros les cerises, venez achetez de cerises, 2 Euros. Madame, vous voulez une Bakette (basket?) de cerises pour 2 Euros?"

Several times, I come to refer to the hotel I am staying in as home.

The below pictures were taken in Mont Martre, where Scare Coeur is.



An old house, so beautiful.

  1. Liliane,

    wow. I get busy from the blogosphere and come back to see you're in Paris :) Way to go!!!

    I was in the first picture 5 years ago. Time...

    It seems you're having fun in Paris. The good thing is that you're here during May so you won't be having to put up with a cold and freezing weather.

    Notre Dame raw3a :) Paris is beautiful. But sa7, it smells like pee and there's dog shit every 1 metre. I can't believe that 5 years later nothing has changed. London's much cleaner ;) (I am advertising for London)

    How long are you staying in Paris for? Is this a business trip?
