Paris

A few ways Paris is a little different than the US

*  The amount of people on cell phones at any given time is almost none. 

* There are more restaurants & cafes in a square mile than I think it some US cities.

*  When people are eating outside at a cafe, they have their chairs turned toward the people walking by, they sit  and people watch as they enjoy their meal

* French pastries and bread are not even close to comparable to what we have here…

*  On the way home from work everyone picks up some fresh flowers and a baguette. 

I’m sure there are more, but those are the ones that stuck out the most to me.  Of course we had a great time…we had fun exploring the Eiffel tower, visiting the Louvre, shopping at a flea market, taking a trip to Versailles, & even watching a movie.  (Most of there movies are American movies in English with French subtitles.)
