Finally Paris

This was an amazing place to be in. Not just for sightseeing but the the people we met along the way... Honduran girl, 2 sisters from Ecuador, Aldo from Mexico, Argentinians, French (obviously), Irish, Canadians, an American from the Bronx, a Romanian living in America, Brazilians and Australians... maybe more I can't remember.
Our hostel was in a very "good" location very close to a metro station: Barbès - Rochechouart and the people outside the metro station and on every corner were so helpful. During the day the usual questions were: "Malboro? Malboro?", "Metro ticket? Metro Ticket?", but only when darkness came that the really funny questions popped up: "Haschisch? Haschisch?".
The Sandman's New Paris Tour was amazing, the pub crawl was crazy and the weather was shit. The Louvre is huge, the city is amazing the parks are beautiful and the metro is... let's just say embarrassing for the city (though I could have used "shit" again).
Another "amazing" episode was while buying water. France is environmental friendly no doubt about it!
Went inside a mini-market to buy water, check prices and a small bottle was 0.40€. Perfect let's find the refrigerator... Same water from inside the refrigerator 0.70€.
Plus 0.30€ not because it was from the Fountain of Youth, no sir! The only difference was that it was cold.
