Follow up question -

Are you still an Arsenal superfan after witnessing them get crushed by Swansea first hand?

there was this really hot guy with a rocking suit on my flight into London. worst was probably the old begger people in Paris who intentionally make themselves seem worse looking to improve their begging results?

Overall, where do people eat the healthiest? Omaha, London, or Paris? Did you see more organic food over there?

in paris, did you go to Centre Pompidou?  Montmartre?  sounds like you went to the louvre so i'm guessing you hit the rue de rivoli?

did you ride the metro?

My apologies for the low sdiq, but have you been overseas prior to this trip? I have never vacationed overseas, but have traveled a few times, the first trip was strange, and I think I was worried about coming off as a  :opcat: to foreigners and a noob to international travel, the following trips were more enjoyable. Your thoughts?

went by the Centre Pompidou but didn't go in. crazy looking place. Went to Montmartre and walked around. lots of street vendor type stuff there and a ton of asian tour groups of roughly 100 people following around another asian guy walking with a sign on a stick he is holding in the air. walked down rue di rivoli a few times, lot of elite hotels on it and right off it and rich person shops. used the metro a lot. pretty easy to navigate but they don't have a lot of rail (compared to London or NYC or other large cities) so you are walking a ton even if you take advantage of it whenever possible. our hotel was right by a station for the primary east/west line so that was pretty great.
