Bah oui, everything sounds better in french! And yes, I would very much like to join you for dinner.

French people sure know how to prank each other! I hope I will never ever be in a situation like this:

I love music but I hate how music videos are made today. It’s never about the song but more about looking good in rented cars, borrowed clothes and naked girls. M.I.A is one of very few artists that I like in a music video. This girl knows what to say and do to deliver things in an original way and she is doing it best working with a french director called Romain Gavras.

Romain Gavras is the man behind “Bad Girls” and “Born Free”.

Here is one important aspect you need to know about french people; they complain all the time! I have never seen anything like this in my life and it took me a while to get used to it. Today, I just laugh at them and call them crazy but I was close to leaving this city because of their weird way of seeing life. The worts thing is that they are completely aware of this, they admit it and say that “it’s normal, french people like to complain”.

Normally, you complain when you have a good reason, something went wrong and you express you feeling about it. French people complain for no reason, they can bitch about nothing for hours. Honesty, I think I am the happiest person in Paris, maybe France, and I’m working hard to spread my way of seeing things but it’s not working well. French people don’t change their habits that easy.

Enjoy!

Interaction is my favourite sport. You learn so much by interacting with people and what would the world be without it? Nothing. People in Paris like to interact left and right and I love how complete strangers can pick up a conversation just like that,it makes the world more friendly. I have met interesting people and have had great conversations just by sitting next to a stranger.

However, there are days I really don’t feel like interacting and one thing I hate is when some people can’t manage to sense a get-the-fuck-out-of-my-face attitude (I do introduce “her” when needed).  So, to avoid this just do as I do; act like you don’t know any french and explain, with a weird accent, that you only speak “a little english”. Lord, I don’t know how many times I have pulled that card out and it always works. Voila, another useful tip on how to enjoy Paris.

This french lesson will be about french guys and their way of charming girls, I’m talking true romance here. Grab a piece of paper and a pen and note this down;

1) First will they make sure they have enough alcohol running through their veins.

2)  Second thing to do is pick a target, that being a female.

3) The third and last thing they do is to tell her straight up what the deal is.

If you ever thought about running for president in France, like Francois Hollande, make sure to have professional wrestlers as your bodyguards.

It’s really as bad as people say, everybody smokes in France (Paris) and it’s driving me crazy. When I’m out with friends must they take turns when they go out to smoke so I won’t be left alone. Yes, kind of babysitting a non-smoker. Not cool. But I’ve figured it all out, you see smoking is part of the french identity, it must be because I can’t come up with another reason why everybody in this country (city) smokes. ..even babies.
