The Adventures of Gigi: April 2007

Tuesday 3 April 2007

And it's ohh so pretty! C'est beau, c'est vraiment beau.

*The photo is from when I was relaxing in Jardin des Plantes last Sunday.

you get angry if you have to wait more than 2 minutes for the metro
you are recognised by your boulanger
everybody thinks that you know every street in town, little do they know you secretly carry a tiny plan de Paris in your handbag at all times
the end of zone 2 marks the end of the world as you know it
you always open the door and jump off the metro before it has come to a complete stop
4 to 5 flights of stairs is nothing (although I don't care how long I live here 7 will always be too many)
though it is in no way appreciated, you have accepted public urination
you have also accepted that parks are for looking at, not playing in, and you therefore always remember to keep off the grass
8 euros for a pint of beer is, not exactly reasonable, but not exorbitant either
you find yourself having a stronger and stronger opinion on the left bank versus right bank debate
50 square metres is a lot of space
you always have a baguette, wine and cheese in your kitchen
you push past people without apologising but you always hold the door open for the person behind you even if they're over 5 metres away
un cafe equals a short black, no questions
you introduce yourself to people as Ghislaine
