The City That Never Sleeps
My name is Mary, & this is where I come to describe the consequences of too much vodka and talk about my fucked up love life.

title : Hello!
I'm now in Paris!

I climbed the Eifle Tower today, then went and saw the Arc de Triumph and walked the Champs de Elysee :)


Had coffee there too, and trust me, you PAY to have coffee there. $12 a cup.



But the city really is beuatiful. It is way too busy though... EVERYWHERE. I think if I ever came to live in France I'd live somewhere quieter. Maybe in the country... near to a cityish place? haha I don't know, but certainly not Paris.

It turns out I don't remember much French and the language barrier is tres annoying but we're getting along. I know broken words like what, where, sorry, please and I can order chicken, orange juice or fish. hahahahahahahahaha. oh gosh.

One crazy thing about this city is that people park ANYWHERE they want. No consideration at all.
See!?


A man proposed to his wife on the Eifle Tower too, she said yes obv.
haha, I got kissed on the Eifle Tower? But that doesn't really compete haha. It was still nice though. Bought a few presents too. So far I've gotten Grace a present  from Camden Markets, London. Roisin and Emma a present from Notting Hill Market Place and Elsie 2 presents from under the Eifle Tower! I'm such a good friend/sister haha.

We are staying in the crapiest place in existense haha. The rooms don't even have wall socets so I had to come down to the 'lobby' (ie the shabby room near the front door) to use my laptop and charge my phone. The room doesnt have a bathroom, instead there a toilets in the wall as you go up a long spiral staircase and showers on level 3. It's pretty hilariously gross haha. but for like 50 euros for 3 nights I guess I shouldn't complain!

We are only here for 2 more days so tomorrow we do the Lovre and Notre Dame and the next day the Panthenon and some gardens maybe :) I wouldn't mind having a baguette lunch in a garden in Paris :)
