You know you're becoming Parisian when... PART 2
I was just looking through some old e-mails and found this list Michael sent me to add to my own. And I thought seeing as Michael just left our beautiful home away from home I should post it.So, you know you're becoming Parisian when...
- it's not Paris, it's "Paree"
- you will wait 30 minutes for an ice cream from Amorino, even though there's a perfectly good ice cream place 20 metres away
- you have favourite metro lines
- you have favourite metro weirdos
- you go to the Champs-Elysées because it's got Virgin Megastore
- the question "last metro or first metro" is entirely normal
- alcohol downing competitions are with champagne, not beer
- you know the cheapest bar in a 10 minute radius, anyway in Paris, any time of night or day
- you expect the non-alcoholic content in a cocktail to be truly minimal
- flooded gutters simply mean that the cleaners are in the neighbourhood
- a red light only means stop if there's someone looking
- a yellow light means floor it, not brake
- you're no longer baffled by an AZERTY keyboard layout
- Luxembourg is a park, not a country
- your instinctive reaction to the question "where are you from" is to give your arrondissement
