PARIS. THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS.
The 28th of april I´m going to Paris. Expectations ... yes indeed ! First, I haven´t been there since I was 3 years old. Second, one of my very best friends live there now and last am I very interested in architecture, design and art. What about the "Paris Syndrome" as people like to call it when you`ll see asians and (of course) other tourists fallen to sleep everywhere all around the city because of too many sigths, canaltrips, exhibitions, famous and not so famous buildings, kissing couples, parklife, lonely planet - restaurants, montmartre - like markets, dollhouses, designershops, streetcafés, sculptures, jazzconcerts and so on. These tourists are so hanged up in the neverending "what to see" lists and big expectations that the exhaustion and stress in the end make them collapse. What is it with this beautiful metropol making us ground the floor after a couple of days on track ? Anyway, I´m looking forward to visiting the city and until then I´ll try not to heighten my expectations.
For me Paris is in my mind ; croissants, good coffé, red light district, entertainment, design, fashion, art, (one of the nicest represented in the world) - architecture, studentriots, romantic Montmartre, suburban culture on it`s best, sleeping asians and Citroën cars. What is Paris to you ?
