WTF I’m in Paris

Waiting in line to use a pay toilet.

Merde!

We visited when we were living in Qatar, for about a month (along with other places in Europe). I make a point to bring this up to anyone, at the slightest provocation, because it was the coolest thing I will ever do. We ate so many baguettes and cheese the first four days that we got sick. Even the cheap cheese at the convenience store was really good.









I had a leather police notebook in my shirt pocket and it was pick pocketed by some guy pretending to take a survey.

There was a protest underway when we went to the Arts de Metier? the science museum, because Israel and Palestine were going at it, so we had to get off at a later stop and backtrack.



These guys looked so fashionable compared to our riot police! Sort of a Fifth Element vibe.



One thing we didn't expect to see was so much street art, some of it really good, by famous street artists, like that UFO Space Invader guy.


I was home sick when they went to the crypts.

Good times! Sorry for the thread jacking. My special ability is killing threads with personal reminiscences.

Pics of you carrying a bag with a loaf of bread sticking out of it and the Eiffel Tower in the background or it didn't happen.

Dang, jealous. Don't know if you're looking for recs, but the best meal I had in Paris was here: www.yelp.com/biz/le-comptoir-paris-18

Reasonable pre-fix menu, easy to get a reservation, and a pork terrine that was so good it actually caused me to abandon vegetarianism.

Paris, Texas?

I've been there twice, once in time to see the games/model exposition. I really do like that city.

I remember eating at a small restaurant near Montmartre, but not on the tourist square. Great beef bourgignon and bread, but also had some of the rudest old americans in there. I was embarrassed and left a better tip for the busy waitress.

I can't wait to take my wife there.

He's immersed in plaster of paris.

Or maybe King's Island.

Make sure you go to that Canadian pub I went to that Barney said didn’t exist.

The bar keeps getting lowered.

[Edit] before the tender sensibilities of those in Kentucky or Texas get all crampy, I love those states. Some truly beautiful stuff in them. Truly. Yet your politics and lack of overall education can just fall off a cliff and die. KTHNX.

WTF is a UK game (or is this another in-joke) ?

Is there going to be a separate thread for "traveling in France" stories and photos ?

University of Kentucky is also known as UK.
