    Well, I have to say our visit to Paris was overwhelmingly positive. I have nothing bad to say, maybe the prices are a bit high but whatevs. Everybody I met was extremely pleasant, I never felt unsafe or anything. It's right up there with Munich for me.

    Years ago when I visited there were tons of rough sleepers in doorways asking quite aggressively sometimes for money but I didn't see much this time.

    London but with better food. Too busy, too many people, too much traffic, too much everything. London has cool museums, and Paris has the Louvre. It's pretty much the same place.

I know the Underworld movie claimed that the war between vampires and werewolves started in New York, but that's a lie. It happened in Notre Dame, where all those shady gypsies are stealing money or something.

Might even have been the author. (In order to get a story) It is a rather unsubstantiative story when you think about it and he's exploiting the Paris tragedy to make fun of sjw types.

    "This is the attack everybody has been dreading for at least a couple of years. This is really important because it is the essence of terrorism, it is not only about people being killed it is about creating a political effect. What worries me the most is that we will see in France and other European countries a polarisation, with different extremists egging each other on. People on the far right trying to take advantage. It's about dividing societies. This was a big attack but even relatively small attacks are dangerous because of the political situation, because of the chain reaction they can cause."

Nobody wanted to spend their taxes on missiles to bomb them, and nobody wanted their sons/husband/brothers killed in a far away country for something that didn't matter to them. This terrorist attack might have been designed to split societies but I see it uniting them.

    It's the most beautiful city I've ever seen. Inspiring, romantic, historic and exciting. I felt as though I was in a painting the entire time I was there. What a memorable place! I hope to make new memories there again soon.
