Ever heard of Paris syndrome?

“ Paris Syndrome as a state of complete culture shock. Tourists from Japan are especially susceptible to having a disappointing experience in Paris because of how the city has been idealized in Japanese pop culture and media.”

This is why I always tell people to never set expectations in life
when you set Expectations(of any kind ) there is a great chance you end up disappointed and unhappy

I went when I was 17, with classmates. I had no expectations and had never been to Europe previously. We had a great time and they were really nice to us. It wasn’t until years later that people told me that the French were notoriously [b]rude[/b]. That wasn’t my experience. My mother said it had never been her experience there, either.

@bijouxbroussard Paris n'est pas la France, though, there are so many much nicer towns in France.

@bijouxbroussard Did you speak a tiny bit of French at that time? I found that a little bit of French went a long way towards polite interactions in Paris.
