European trip

@Pfuzylogic Yes, Paris is called the romantic city. My first stop in Europe is to go to Paris

@LisaChen I personally found the French to be personally warm in 2001.
In Paris it is a bit more transactional since money makes any metropolitan area run.
The cafes were very fun.

@Pfuzylogic French café culture is truly fascinating, each one has its own unique atmosphere and story.

@Pfuzylogic there is a condition called "paris syndrome" when people get to the city and it completely fails to live up to the expectations. there are many nicer cities in france

@Madgirl I have visited France twice. Once in 1984 as part of an incredibly inexpensive bus tour where we visited cities such as Champagne in addition to Paris along with Cologne, Germany and the other major northern European metropolises. At that time the people of France that I met were ones that normally interfaced tourists and I felt a bit cold. I did see the Moulin Rouge which had some spectacular shows. My impression of Paris was one wonder just by its history. Too much to describe here but you can believe that I have posted about it.
The last time that I visited was in 2001 where I taught a Mainframe printer course that was used by operators and repair technicians of the equipment. I even received a translator from Switzerland!
I taught at Orleans and Nancy, France. The people at both sites were incredibly generous of Soirit at the hotels and at both workplaces, I also went to Paris where I went on the Metro, saw the statues and Chinese emperor clocks at the Louvre. Went to the top of the Eiffel tower during a huge wind storm.and drank expresso at a beautiful cafe before watching the show at the Crazy Horse Saloon!
I had been blessed both times because I was [b]always[/b] overwhelmed by this spectacular city!
