I did make a trip out to the Eiffel Tower though. Parisians love their Tower.
Rainbow colors. I'm not sure if this is an every night thing, or a holiday special, but they did a light show.
French Pride
There were more, but thats all I feel like putting up.
Anyways, here is my impression of Paris:
They seem to be living amazing lives. Everyone dresses really well, eats amazing food, etc etc.
The only downside is that I cannot talk to them..
..which may not be a bad thing. I do get the pretentious Parisian vibe from a ton of these people and the good part about not knowing the language is that I don't know whether or not they are trash talking.
Public transportation also works amazingly well here. I don't know how well it works in NYC/Chicago/DC/other huge American cities, but they have it figured out pretty well here.
Everything is really expensive, but no one seems phased by it at all.
Its not bad here. I still haven't had many interactions with the locals (haven't had to with my French cousins) but maybe that would make me dislike Paris as much as everyone else does.
