A few observations about Paris and France

Category None
Here are a few things I have noticed since my move to Paris

It's not just in the movies, every other person walking down the street really does have a bagette under their arm.
Chinese takeaways don't make the food fresh, they have it all on display then microwave what you want and hand it over
Un-eaten bagettes go stale over night here just the same way
A green crossing signal does not mean cars wont come at you at high speed
The Metro works as advetised, honest it does, amazing really
People either love dogs or hate them, some people wll be excited to see the dog, others will cross the street to avoid it
They have some great street markets, loads of fresh food, cheese, meats and wines etc.

1 - I spent some time in Paris and I must say I did like the food. I actually lived on panini's the entire time. I highly recommend trying one.

4 - Re your comment on green crossing signals not meaning cars don't come at you at high speed, here is the famous joke about French traffic:

There are 2 types of pedestrian in Paris: the quick and the dead...
