Bonjour from Paris

Metal Vendetta · Post by **Metal Vendetta** » Mon May 15, 2006 9:20 am

I have officially joined some sort of "jet set", it would seem. Today I will be mostly working from the Paris offices, which means my French is getting seriously tested, and I feel like death warmed up because I had to get up at 4 to make the flight on time...still, I'm in Paris, which is bloody cool, and my month is shaping up like this - London, Paris, Hamburg, San Francisco. Which ain't bad by anyone's standards.

Pff, if you were going to Budapest as well, then I'd be impressed.

Take it easy, Mr Jet Setter.

Also: eat baguettes.

Moules frites is Belgian food I think, but it is delicious

There are so many good restaurants in Paris that you will have no trouble finding a delicious meal. The area near Centre Pompidou (I think it's called Marais) has a nice atmosphere (lots of gay people too, including some very handsome waiters), I went to a nice restaurant and bar there. The Quartier Latin is also very nice', it's a student area and has also good restaurants and bars.

Of course I can't remember any of the names... more like "if you are at the bakery on the corner, turn left and take the 3rd or 4th street on the right"

But I don't doubt that you will enjoy yourself!
