    I don't remember Paris. I was too young, but I want to go with my husband so bad, in the spring. I want to do the train tour of the countryside and Provence as well.
    I love french country food, champagne, shopping, art, pasteries, cheese, french art noveau architecture and art deco building foyers and entries. it just sounds like a blast.
    I would have to pack a HUGE empty suit case to bring back with textilles, wine and clothes.

    I want to go to the LOccitane factory, where they make their honey products.
    and a goat farm where they make cheese would be a bad ass tour too.

    Same, I went there twice as a kid, didn't really like it...kids were mean there. I also went once about two or three years ago and didn't have a pleasant trip, only ended up staying a night before going to Ireland.

    Glad your having a good time though!

    None of this is true.

    I already changed my travel-plans, I'm in Switzerland at the moment and I'll spend New Year in Vienna.

    Jesus, I'm so mixed up in travel I miswrote that, I'm actually in Austria but I passed through Switzerland yesterday and spent the night in Bern. I've been to Switzerland before several times so I didn't stay too long this time. Geneva is depressing as fuck, I drove through yesterday for the first time. I liked Bern. Luzern is my still my favorite place in Switzerland so far, though.

    I'm in Innsbruck at the moment, probably stay for two days and then go to Vienna.

    We go over this time and again...

    WHY are they some of the worst people in the world? Reasons (like you have any)

    My experience has shown the exact opposite and they are some of the most hospitiable people in the world. Once in the country side especially.

    You went to Paris twice for a few days, big whoop. I have been five time all around for long periods of time.

    While Paris is indeed over rated (Stockholm or Copenhagen are WAY BETTER) pass up Paris for the rest of France than go to Italy and meet me ;) in Florence . Paris is nothing at all like the rest of France in a lot of ways. If you are in Paris you'd be doing yourself a big disservice to miss other areas. personally I love the Breton region of France.

    We go over this time and again because you keep on bringing it up.

    I exaggerate when I say that French people are some of the worst in the world, just as I exaggerate when I say that all black people are dangerous weapon-holding thugs who should be put back in the plantations. It would be extremely dumb of me to stereotype an entire race of people based on such notions.

    That being said, historically... the French as a people are very anti-semitic, extremely elitist, and rather unfriendly to foreigners. Plus, they are complete pussies who keep on surrendering. This is why I don't particularly like the French as a people, but I'm sure that I would have no problem with a French person on an individual basis, unless they were an idiot.

    The French in the countryside are much nicer than those in Paris. I usually refer to Parisians when I speak of the French in such ill terms. I actually really like the countryside of France, I just dislike Paris.

    I've been to Paris twice, once for a week, and once for a tad over two weeks. I didn't like it either time. But I agree, you have more experience with the city than I do, but yet again, you are biased towards it since you have a French girlfriend.

    Vous êtes un imbécile arrêté dans ses opinions qui parle trop. Je soupçonne que le français le sait(connaît) quand vous ouvrez votre bouche.

    When did you go to Stockholm?

    Perhaps I loved it in part because it was sunny and 30 (90) degrees out for all four days. There is so much to do and it is absolutely beautiful and very clean. Good bar scene (though I don't care that much for that aspect of a city), good food and people, though extremely expensive. Very cultured, lots of history (which I care about more).

    And Copenhagen is just something else, an amazing city to visit though I could picture myself getting bored through the long winter if I lived there.

    I think there are a lot of hidden gems in both cities that only a local can show you, which is what happened for me, luckily. I was lucky and stayed with folks from the city both times.

    I went to Paris once, when I was like 12. I thought it was alright, my dad saw a pickpocket and saved a ladies phone. She was happy, pickpocket was not. We had lunch, saw the sights, as I remember it there were many arabs. Not many Japanese, some asians and some caucasians. Overall it was ok, I don't really have much of an opinion, Disneyland Paris, however, fucking awesome! I got this ice cream with a lil figurine on the top who I named Mr Pink Man. (It was like donald the duck or something, and yeah, he was pink). He was awesome but alas, I lost him. xD

    EDIT: I had an awesome ice cream in Germany too. You had to push the handle at the bottom and the ice cream came out of holes on the top. I kept the sticker with the picture instructions. :D

    Mme mamaKCita:

    haha.

    M. Rubin: Je pense que vous voulez dire chatte au lieu de chats, mais ce n'est pas la seule chose que vous mangez à l'Y. J'imagine que vous mangez hommes bites.

    I could put it in English if you can not understand it. Many people on that island do not understand.

    Parisiens, vous allez adorer. Vous avez un merveilleux nom et semble être une personne merveilleuse. Ce n'est pas le cas?

    Je crois que vous êtes celui qui parle à beaucoup. Mon pénis sait quand vous ouvrez votre bouche.
