If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Bonjour from Paris
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.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

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!
