- that has boxes of thirty Ferrero Rochers for 7 Euros
- where baguettes and croissants are about the same price (both under a euro)
- that is beige and black
- that is obsessed with the American elections
- that has dog shit everywhere
- where I see the Eiffel Tower on public transportation
- where fashion sense, coldness, and politeness all seem at home
- that has an unhealthy obsession with avocados. (I saw a man selling five of them for two euro the other day and people were buying them. This is winter. Why do you need that summer fruit?)
- that uses Comic Sans and Papyrus like it was the 1999
- where decent wine is about 5 euros
- where high speed internet is impossible to find
- where the "musicians" on the metro have nicer shoes and coats than I do
- where running (athletic or in general) seems out of place
- where it is completely acceptable for a 50 year old man to shop at Abercrombie and Fitch and walk around with the bag
- where nightlife starts at 11 (and that's still a bit early)
- where Smart Cars seem normal
- that has districts (a la Hunger Games)
- that is called Paris and I freaking love it (even if I don't get to explore it as much as I would like because I'm a hermit)
More stuff to come. I haven't forgot y'all.
