Paris is a nice enough town... even though I'm not a big fan of the French. Last week some jackasses were protesting everything from Maastricht to George Bush in front of the Montparnasse train station. I shouted GEORGE BUSH 2004 with my fist in the air. They looked as if they had just seen Satan himself.

I like walking, especially in interesting cities... even if it's just for the exercise.


Paris is just like the opposite of the US cities. In the US, inner cities are dangerous places, but the suburbs are peaceful bedroom communities. In Paris, the city itself is safe and very nice, but the suburbs are filled with violent Muslims and non-European immigrants.

I felt more safe in New York City at night than I did in Paris. The hotel manager warned me not to go out on the street after dark which I found strange. It was only 11 but the streets are really dead and I noticed not as well lit as what I'm used to. I live in a suburb now, but I don't care who lives around me just as long as I get left alone.
