- baguettes for 38 cents
- Riz au lait a la vanille, yum!
- so many places to explore
- crepes
- waffles..
- croque monsieurs!!
- The Marais
- the beautiful streets and the quirky places to explore
- the swordfish at Barbershop
- the bountiful supply of French books at Carrefour
- French onion soup, especially at La Khedive
- French film trips in Place d'Italie
- cheap cheap cheap wine, especially Panache from Carrefour!
- just....Carrefour..!
What I will not miss:
- the pervy men who have meant I have only worn a skirt/dress once and regretted it, and have thus not since March...
- the extortionate prices for everything, especially bottles of water..!!
- the expensiveness of the Metro and being pretty far from the action
- a large number of the Parisians and the way they must have right of way on the pavement/in their cars/look down on you
- the dull dress sense here (I'm serious! I haven't seen a colour other than black, white, navy or beige for weeks!)
Paris is definitely a city of contrasts....find the areas you like and you're sorted. Luckily I have come to do that, but unfortunately they happen to be pretty far from where I'm living....also, I will definitely not miss the ridiculous Parisian public transport and its mind of its own! After this year, I don't think I will ever complain about English admin again lol, as I said when I came back from Barcelona..! I have had a great time, just unfortunate circumstances (as Manchester uni recently referred to them as in an email to us) have conspired against my plans. Oh well, an experience is an experience....
