>>2/ Paris is the worst place in the world because >> a/ every step you hit a pile of shit > >this is just a stupid comment by Thorsten. Germans think the French are >dirty, its a prejudice. From a germans point of view, the whole world looks dirty (maybe Luxemburg is an exception !). But forget about these prejudices. From my point of view Paris looked very dirty. But maybe you have different standards. Of course this is not ICCA or Titus fault ! It is a self-immanent problem of a big town full of tourists . >> c/ food is tremendously expensive > >food is normal priced. problem for Thorsten is the lack of currywurst. > Of course if I would have your credit-cards and an account for costs I would say: anything very cheap. But I have to pay and to remember the prices ! And 50 Francs for some spaghetti that have never seen a sauce is not cheap for me. >> d/ it's almost impossible to drive there > >I drove at the first weekend. paris is fine if you know your way round >the general one-way systems. Parkign is hell unless you want to pay for >underground car parks. Of course somebody used to drive on the left side will have no problems in Paris. Germans are used to follow rules. In this town nobody follows any rule. Very problematical for a Spock-like german. >Sounds good. But 3-star food that is not currywurst doesn't get >appreciated by soem people :( We have good cooks in germany too. Near by my home is the Schlossrestaurant Schwansbell. No currywurst there of course. >Nor me. You knwo what germans are like for cleanliness. they even clean >the street outside their own houses, separate their rubbish into four >groups, and wash out their tin cans before placing them in the rubbish. I laugh about this, but I cannot defend because it is true. We germans think anything has to be clean, therefore germans are not nessesarily good lovers. Why ? We first clean the woman and her appartment before we make love with her. Some woman btw like this. >> c/ Not true. I had very pleasant lunch and dinners at reasonable >>prices. I several times tried to invite people from abroad to join me >>and got the answer: we prefer fast food or steak, etc...If you choose >>that food in Paris you are not at all allowed to complain... > >Agreed. I made one dinner invite after another, but they all want to eat >shit food in shit arab takeaways with no beer. We don't like to go into an aristocratic restaurant like you british monarchists are used to go. >> d/ It is crazy to drive in Paris. I came from Lyon by train >>with my DEC Alpha. A lot of people living in Paris even don't have >>a car. The public transportation system is very good and much faster. >>The RER goes directly inside Roissy Charles de Gaule airport so why >>use a car ? > >Agreed. Agreed ??? Why did you force me than to bring you to the airport. I have not seen the final-ceremony therefore.
