all about paris

now that i'm awake, i thought i would share some of the things i learned while in Paris.

• all food tastes better in France. especially if you can look out your window at the Eiffel Tower while eating it.
• Parisian women won't let anything stop them from looking fabulous. and by that i mean i saw women who were VERY pregnant walking around in high heels.
• you can never have too much nutella. never.
• people in Paris don't know how to drive. and coming 2 inches from getting hit by a bus is not fun.
• when people say that the Louvre is huge, it doesn't even begin to describe the size. you can probably fit Luxembourg inside of it.
• it is possible to eat bread for breakfast, lunch and dinner. not with...for.
• the moulin rouge is the biggest let-down in the world. ever.
• having a microwave in France is kind of like bringing a television to the beach. it's big, annoying, and completely useless.
• everything spoken in French sounds like a question.
• the stereotype of the French being overly rude is completely wrong. i found them to be very friendly and helpful.
• the chateau at Versailles = meh.
• the gardens at Versailles = epic.
• i think the French only know how to build on a gargantuan scale. everything is huge.
• being in a tunnel with the skeletons of hundreds of thousands of people isn't as creepy as you would think.
• you can see pretty much all of Paris in a week. which leaves the second week open for being creative with your time.
• i had a great time, but being in one of the most romantic cities in the world without someone to make out with kind of blows.
