Puddles in Paris

The Paris rain has been coming down for two days now. It seems to be quite thicker than any other rain that I've been in.

I spent the day in the 4th addronisment ducking in and out of various shops and restaurants. Wandering around watching people and live music.

There was a hip store with three Chineese symbols on its face. I went in and noticed the same three on the front of all it's trendy clothing. I asked what they ment and was told that they were the symbols of the Triiad, which is/was the Chineese Mafia. The young french salesman assured me that there was no trouble in wearing the symbols in public.

We call them bumper-cars, they call them Dodge-em's; they don't try and hit each other. Says something about us crazy americans..

Acquiring a handy (mobile phone) working in all of Europe without a perminant residence and bank account in Europe is much more difficult than it should be.

Early to bed as the, still present, jetlag takes effect. Good anyway because tomorrow is Bastille day. The partying has already begun out in the streets.

Wanna comment?
