I Heart Paris #2

More reasons why I love Paris...

• Say you walk into a shop that sells wine, and you buy a bottle. And then you decide you'd like to enjoy it with your picnic lunch in the park or on the riverbank. But you sadly realize you don't have a corkscrew with you. Not a problem! The wine merchant will gladly open your bottle of wine for you so that you can drink it with your lunch. In public.
  

• Even the eggs you buy in a grocery store might still have feathers on them.

• Every Metro train on every track runs every 5-8 minutes all week long. (Unlike in Squamish where there are no transit buses on Sundays.) It is great to go down into the metro station and know that your train will be coming by in just a few minutes.

• People brings their pooches on the metro.

• Smoking inside restaurants, bars and cafes has been banned. (Although people can still smoke outside while sitting at the sidewalk tables.)

• Two-in-One appliances. You can wash AND dry your clothes in the same machine! And the microwave can also be switched into a convection oven. So smart.....

• You don't have to join a gym to get fit in Paris. Walking 10 miles a day and going up and down the endless stairs in the metro tunnels will have you looking like Charles Atlas in no time!
