They r realy cool.



My View

Paris is a very big city so there is a lot to do. Money is the only problem that presents itself when it comes to being entertained since Paris is also very expensive. Being Bangali Muslim I suppose it's essential to include information on where to find the halal food.Unfortunately, there are few disadvantages to living in Paris, but by far the number one disadvantage (at least in my opinion) is the cost of living. Paris is one of the most expensive cities in the world (although several large U.S. cities surpass it, and so does London), and, worse yet, Parisian salaries do not adequately take the cost of living into account, alas! In addition, income tax and sales tax rates are ruinous, especially for single people (and most people in Paris are single, because almost no one can afford to raise a family within the city itself).
To give you some idea of the cost of living, consider that an ordinary audio CD costs about $19 in a French record store, and a cup of coffee on the famous Champs-Élysées may cost $12. The greatest expense is housing: even a parking place (annually just the parking spot marked on the ground, not a garage or anything) can cost $26,000, and a decent apartment might sell for $275,000!
After adjusting for taxes and COL, salaries in Paris are about 1/3 of what they would be in the U.S., for the same work. I keep hoping that this will change in the future, but it hasn‘t thus far.
Today
Today I thought that I would try and attack the Centre "Pompidou"..but realizing I still don't really like modern art, and it is a HUGE attraction on Sundays..I decided instead to attack the "Van Gogh" museum. Not exactly like I'm settling myself, eh? So anyway, its a good distance away from me, but its not too cold- might start raining soon, but I'm not in any hurry, and its not an unfathomable distance..so I set off on foot! About half way there, I come across this big market set up for the "Fete De Meres". (French version of Mother's day) I got to wander about a bit and enjoy looking at somethings I probably wouldn't buy b-coz............... . The same sort of thing happened even closer to me for the week before Easter. Both of them have similar stands- random jewelrey, ethnic foods, house decor, just weird stuff..and then there is always a separate section for various French foods, giant fresh baked bread loaves being the most prominent. I just so much love being able to wander with a slight direction and come upon some treasure I would never have known about otherwise. There has to be places in the states like that, right?"
My Great Lose or what it is......
Each day that I am alone in this giant city- for each person that I like to hang up. I have to get out and do something.
God only knows what happens to my Life . What I be, I know but now what my life is and what it gone be I realy realy realy don`t know.
Some time I Thought I am realy alone.
