I am writing this post as I sit under a beautiful cherry tree in the garden/backyard of the house I'm staying at...somehow it is still completely light out at 9:30pm- very strange, it feels like it could be 3 O'clock!
I have had very full days of wandering around Paris and exploring the city...Today I met up with a Parisan friend and dancer who showed me the "real" Montmarte, versus the tourist version, and the Sacre Cour. C'est tres beau!
The atmosphere here is very different than what i am used to in NYC. Here it is more sweet and light as apposed to the more driven and "get out of my way"ness that prevails back home. C'est interessant.
Some things are important to know here:
1. to get to the 2nd floor, you have to go up 3 flights of stairs (hehe, I know this but forgot and ened up at a music recording studio instead of a dance school)
2. Doors to the metro do not open unless you open them yourself (very strange!)
3. Most people speak a little English at least
4. People are actually very nice and helpful!!at least so far, this has been my experience
5. What you are wearing is not as important as I thought it was, it's kind of like NYC, people just dress how they want.
Well, that is all I have to say. Je suis contente. Et demain, je vais aller au cours de danse :0)
Bon soir!!
