I continue to observe, and to note, but unless I get posting, these miscellaneous observations will reach exponential proportions. (Yes, I like commas).
So, in honor of lightening the load, let me share some of these M.Obs…
Everything’s small, really small; the Champs Elysée has at least 7 cinemas; teenagers and their ipods are like fruit and loops; too many talented musicians live in the metro stations; the wife always listens to her husband; MacDo has the best and the cheapest cappuccinos in Paris; it takes a car approximately 6 minutes to get out of its miniature parking spot; too much bread; you have to buy movie tickets in advance on Sundays, otherwise the 500-seat theatre will sell out before you arrive; white wine & blueberry mix make a happy couple; black has always been and will always be the new black; students ignore classroom hierarchy; tea is too expensive; Paris is more international than Vancouver; it’s cheaper to drink your café at the bar than at a table; at times I have to wait in line to run in Parc Monceau; couples are either yelling or making out; PDA is more than tolerated; there were 16 commercials & trailers before the last movie I saw; audience applause after performances can last more than 10 minutes; there are too many pigeons; it either snows or rains; a slice of pizza is the size of a small child; Lady GaGa is bigger here than in the US; museums are free for students; there are 2 sales a year and this one unfortunately ends tomorrow; there was a guy on the metro yesterday who was wearing a mask and holding a fixed-blade knife; poop is not scooped; for the 1st time in my life I can’t sleep in because I’m worried I’ll miss out on something wonderful.
Today was a good day.
