Paris: makes for excellent weekend break. Nice this time of year.
Parisians: snooty, maybe, but not rude. Positively pleasant compared to Londoners.
Current exchange rate: ouch.
Traffic signals: absolutely nuts. Green man = RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.
Hotel: trendy.
French fries + french mustard: taaaaasty + taaaaasty.
Steak tartare: because rare is overcooked. Mmmmm.
Eiffel tower: temporarily blue.
Notre Dame: is BIG.
Louvre: is bigger.
Mona Lisa: not entirely sure what the big deal is. Good, but not fantastic. Over-hyped. And somewhat grimy.
Venus de Milo: now that is worth seeing.
Louvre Near Eastern section: Is best section (oooh, controversial). Writing on everything. Mesopotamia for the win.
Code of Hammurabi: Wooo! Geek love.
Paris catacombs: An absolute must. Spooky doom. Highlight of the trip for me. Am not a goth, honest.
Wedding: now less than a year away.
Photo post may follow soon, when I get around to uploading photos.
EDIT: Am re-watching an episode of Noir, which is quite entertaining. Not hugely accurate, though!
