5 top lessons in Paris

Since my last visit I have lived a whole life and so has Paris. I had two children; Paris has had many children from all over the world. Paris is the Angelina Jolie of capital cities.

At Dinner, after Disney, our waiter was a lovely French speaking Cambodian. We told him we had just been in Siem Reap and it was amazing to think so many people from distant lands have made Paris home.

So here are our five top lessons in Paris: 1. You can come from any where as long as you speak French

2. Black is the best colour (or non colour) of anything except meat - then red is the way to go

3. There can never be too many hair dressing salons in one street (Frank went to get his number 2 cut to number zero and was offered a shampoo and blowdry)

4. Eating carbs and drinking Champagne all day will not make you gain weight (and if it does you won't care you will just wear more black)

5. Do not wait for the little man at the traffic lights to turn green before you walk across (people in black always have right of way over traffic).
