Emma, Hannah, Sharon and I just spent five lovely days in Paris, truly a world class city. We managed to get most of the tourist sites in but I personally would have loved some extra time to wander through the streets. Almost everywhere we went was picturesque (with the exception of our stroll through the ghetto--for future references the Stalingrad Metro Stop--not so nice). Despite being warned about the French's sense of politeness, I was pleasantly surprised with the lukewarm reception we received-better than I expected! Of course, one particular "gentleman" (and I use that term loosely) was somewhat more friendly when he exposed his backside to us in the Metro...but that was more of an unpleasant memory we'd rather all just block from our minds....
Anyway, it was a culture filled weekend and quite a change from my Morocco trip, which consisted mostly of wandering around markets and little back alleys. The food was also really good, although in retrospect, maybe eating sushi twice on our trip was excessive, I guess we've been in withdrawal since living in an almost sushi-less Amsterdam. We also went to the strangest club, Mix Club, to see our favourite dutch DJ Fedde le Grand spin. I have to say, the resident DJ Didier Sinclair was amazing and played the best music I've ever heard in a club. Also, every single person in that club was a phenomenal dancer...it was really weird, I guess I'm just so accustomed to most North American boys having no rhythm...? So we had an amazing time in Paris and I look forward to going back, definetly not the kind of city truly appreciate in such a short amount of time-but there was just no way of knowing. ;) Next stop and final trip: Krakow, Poland before exam madness descends upon me once again. Hope you're all doing well.
