]]> Comment on Rules of Engagement for Australians living in Paris by Sunblaze http://www.kristieinparis.com/2009/rules-of-engagement-for-australians-living-in-paris-127/comment-page-1/#comment-531 Sunblaze Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:27:18 +0000 http://www.kristieinparis.com/?p=127#comment-531 Yes, there is and it is very french to have the snoberism between the female kind. I've seen it at first hand a number of times as i visit paris often it is my second home (or is it my first?1?) As an Australian when I was with another lovley foreign woman there, she kept commenting at how much upnosing she was getting because she suspected it was her being with a cool guy! Awesome for me ... not for her. It was really annoying because all the women upnosing her were really strikingly french and attractive! The french blokes seem to be more chillaxed, I was given a free beer in a montmartre cafe as I asked in fluent french - no this is on the house, he said! never had this happened in my own country in my life ... I love Paris! Paris is a city with a soul. Probably only one of a small few or "the" only one on our planet. She (Paris) is like a beautiful woman waiting to be discovered, waiting for you to meet her and to enjoy her company, in time she also discovers if she also loves you. And you will experience these expressions through the people and the culture - she will either love you ... or hate you. What ever you do DO NOT go into france or Paris thinking that the French or Parisans are snobs or rude (although if you can understand it is very French to be that way in the first place), remember you've probably heard that from someone whose either: never been to Paris, they are english (being jealous) or just being plain english. France and its people in Paris are probably the most caring, fun and nicest people ive ver met. Let her fall in love with you. I've fallen in love with this city. As she has fallen in love with me.

I moved to Paris from Melbourne 1 week ago and so far so good but today I was having one of those "feeling sorry for myself" days. Oh and the mute foreign girl! I love that, I know exactly what you are talking about! My in laws are great and are very understanding that my french "ca arrivera" but I was never the mute girl back home and I can't help but assume that they think "oh she's a really boring australian" oh and by the time I have something worthy of conversation in my head it takes me about 5 minutes to conjugate the verb and by then the moment has passed. So there I vent for the day :) I look forward to reading your other posts x This blog is great!

I'm scared of feeling lonely and not fitting in. However reading your blog makes me realize that life is meant to be lived. Feeling safe your whole life doesn't achieve anything. Risks are what makes you feel alive! I will take your advice of 'keep it all in perspective'. Thanks so much x Hi there,
