J'aime Paris!


Depending on the intonation you put on the title above, you can really mean that in French, or trying to bring that to our Portuguese, it will have a different meaning, something like '' never more''....

Well, the city is really worth the visit, but there is something I want to tell you about.

French people love dogs! I can tell! You can see this love on the streets, lots of poo all over, ran over by cars, stepped, or still intact!

Most touristic sites have a machine that cleans the street, but if you go far a little, there comes the poo! Watch your step!


I found this sign on the internet that means kind of "if you love your neighbor you will take your dog's poo with a tool, if you don't you'll pay a 150e fine." But I don't think it works, once I had to pay attention to my way, and stop to admire the landscape, 'cause it's impossible to look up the sky and walk at the same time.

Another thing that shocked me was the subway. Gosh! What the hell was that? At first I thought they were refurbishing everything, but NO! It is there for a long time. Not to mention the graffiti on the walls, and trains, and tunnels....


One thing that I liked is shown in this photo, just one car! Different!
















Yes! For me it wasn't a romantic city at all. Unless you just take a taxi and stay near the hot spots everything will be perfect, otherwise you will see the dirty side like all big cities.

  1. Hey dear!

    I HATED Paris! :P

    Smelly and dirty, beggars all over the streets, felt really insecure, totally non-europe like! hehehe

    But anyways...I guess it all depends on your budget and the kind of trip you´re taking. :)

  2. yeah, it depends, but you can't turn a blind eye to beggars, and when they realize you're a tourist, it becomes impossible to walk freely, always begging for money or trying to sell sth. As I said before, just if you take taxis and stay very close to important places.....But I think the countryside is interesting, completely different.
