Paris, it’s month 11 and the end of our love affair is near. Like any couple, we had our ups and downs, our moments of fervent passion followed by those of bitter hatred, but I think overall we had a good run. So, it’s time to take a step back and reflect on the hots and not-so-hots of life in the city of lights…

Hots: 
- Culture (The plethora of activities (museums, parks, concerts, etc.) still gives me butterflies.) 
- Student Discounts (Yay for being young in a city that believes you shouldn’t have to pay for anything if you are under 26)
- Relaxin’ (Lingering 2 hours over a cup of coffee, or dining with friends until the wee hours of the morning is a lifestyle pace I’m going to miss dearly) 
- Public Transportation (Easy, affordable, the city at your doorstep, and the best of all no LA traffic) 

Not-so-Hot: 
- Parisian Superiority Complex (Would it really hurt to fake a smile every now & then?) 
- Metro Stikes (Like the boy who cried wolf, striking every single week for being “agressed” kind of makes it seem like you are just being babies. Or don’t want to work.) 
- Dogs Pooping on Sidewalks and Men Peeing in the Streets (I just don’t get it) 
- No Airconditioning? (Say it with me… climatisation. Why is it so hard? Ok, at least give me ice in my drink.)
