In the montepmontre, at cafe sancerre.

Paris is a little different this trip; everyone has MP3 players rather than CD players on the metro, many very tiny. no ipod sightings.

Free wifi is newish (for me) and everyone has digital cameras, which was true last trip.

    Ah Paris! It made me remember precisely of a french writer, Roland Barthes, who commented the Blue Guide:

    “The ethnic reality is thus reduced to a vast classical ballet(…) For the Blue Guide, men exist as social entities only in trains (…) Apart from that, they constitute a charming and fanciful decor, meant to sorround the essential part of the country: its collection of monuments.”

    The main issue when we travel is not where we travel, but how we think while we travel and how we observe both the people and the monuments. That’s what makes the trip.

    Yet, it is true that at times to think in the wrong way you don’t have to travel: for instance when I was in Alabama and I said I went there some (americans, not other foreigners or tourists I mean) answered to me “Uh Alabama? Ahhh that’s not United States”.
    Mah, actually I liked Alabama. 🙂

    there is somebody who’s spamming your blog inserting messages whose unique content is a link. atleast in the last 4 or 5 entries there is this guy promoting liks from museums to wallpapers. Trying to gain links for google or Yahoo I bet.
    Needless to say as soon as one realizes this, one loses every interest even about trying a click!
    Spammers. Just spammers 🙂
