The Adventures of Gigi

You know you're becoming Parisian when... PART 2

• 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
