"I went there for work with my grossly overweight colleague, and it's remarkable how often he got into comedic entanglements due to being too fat. Like getting in and out of cabs, squeezing into chairs at restaurants, getting into lifts. The high point was getting onto the metro - some stations have "
"Maybe living in nyc has desensitized me but I came here expecting it to be more or less the same, but I am shocked at the lack of crackheads and garbage on the street. Most people are well dressed and good looking, and the infrastructure is less third world than nyc... very depressing that a nation "
"I could be wrong, but it would be pretty unusual to meet someone like this in Berlin, or Paris, or Vienna. In fact, people like my Polish colleague would find the idea of someone like that identifying as a 'proud Berliner' or 'a proud Parisian' to be borderline nonsensical."
"With Israel competing as normal, Russian athletes having to compete as "nuetrals" (no flags or anthems allowed) and the event being hosted by a notoriously volatile city with a very recent history of terrorist attacks and rioting...the vibe in Paris must be tense as fuck."

"The cynics were all wrong. The games were a triumph. Paris looked immaculate. Lots of amazing sincere moments plus the memes that we got out of it are top tier."
"Useless degree in my pocket, floating around Europe, I pay a visit to an old high school pal and his girlfriend. They have one other roommate and we get along swell that first week tight on wine. They offer the room for 225 a month (75 per coloc). I walk everywhere. I meet a beautiful woman ten year"
"i went to paris with my boy who isn't neurotic and it completely cured me of doomerism they don't want you to know this but you can get less cynical if you allow yourself"

"Paris was it in the 19th century. New York was it in the 20th. What is the it city of the 21st century? I live in Seoul, and while it is an amazing city, it also feels creatively very safe? So many boring art galleries, boring musicians, boring politics...There are extremely talented people in the c"
"Like one time I took a bus to Rabat from Paris with a Moroccan friend who was a smuggler"
"No fatties, obesity, or even overweight people. Everyone is thin or very thin. Everyone smokes. Houellebecq has a prominent spot in every bookstore I've been too. Portion size is very small unless the restaurant caters to Amerifats."
"Loaded, with a lake house in Maine and an apartment in Paris"
"I'm looking for sublets in Paris for the summer, and people (some of which I know from leftist circles) are subletting their fuckin two-bedroom apartment for 170 euro a night. I know regular contracts in this area are half that sum. People just got used to the idea that someone should pay for their "
"absolutely relished my first time in the south of France; I'd say it beats the Paris for me personally but I'd love to give Paris another shot."
"What he does now is pretty funny to me. He flies out girls to luxurious places; trips in the Maldives, skiing in Aspen, weekends in Paris, etc. but he doesn't have sex with them. He truly follows the 12 step, no sex, no relationship bullshit."

"You have an amazing salary, you don't do that much, you enjoy the culture, you speak the local language well, you're extremely respected by everyone as you have your diplomatic passport, you're also respected by everyone back at home. And you might get a tiny bit of that Cold War thrill."

"I think the Internet/social media has homogenised big cities around the world to a point where its taken away a lot of their cultural identity The examples above (and certainly many others) really had something magical about them which I genuinely don't think can be replicated in the age of social m"
"Overall, the trip exceeded my expectations. I think Paris is at the same time overrated and underrated, as it's one of the most popular/romanticized cities in the world but also gets a lot of flak, most of which is unwarranted in my view. The people who end up suffering from Paris Syndrome or whatev"

"I'm thinking of Weimar in the 30s, Paris in the 20s, New York in the 60s (and arguably 90s)--obviously not the only places in their respective time periods where good art was being made, but in retrospect these cities were definitely the sites of great artistic output at the time."
"What about living in NYC/LA/TOR/Paris has made it worth it?"
