Ask first. Buy later.
Having to rely on others isn’t so bad. Although I still don’t like it.
Beautiful flowers are available for delivery in Paris. From at least two different vendors.
Teams winning championships while I’m not there to celebrate isn’t so bad. Although I still don’t like it.
Men here pee outside. During the day. While sober.
Spending 7 hours in the sun with 90 degree temps and no way to cool down will result in more than just a nice tan.
The French equivalent to FML = VDM (for those who are acronym-deficient, please inquire within)
A good playlist goes a long way.
Sending snail mail is just as good as receiving it. (Which is good, because I haven’t received any – hint hint!)
Prince is an amazing performer – and at 53 what he does on stage becomes even more impressive.
I miss Netflix.
Do all your grocery shopping on Saturdays, because you won’t be able to get anything you’ve run out of on Sunday.
Foster’s beer apparently has 5.1% alcohol by volume and is sold by the pint in France. Four of these do not equal four 12oz Blue Moons in the US.
The train ride to London is fast, though not cheap.
I can put furniture together all by myself! And it doesn’t fall apart immediately after!
There is something equally as good as Pinkberry in Paris. This is amazing news.
Pigeon poop is green. And doesn’t make for good hair conditioner
I can survive without a working stove.
It doesn’t pay to cut in line at a taxi stand.
I don’t miss having a car. At all.
