I live in a town called Le Vesinet which is a 5 mn metro ride right smack dab on the Champs Elysees. I shouldn't say it sucks, but I have been here since January and I am getting really sick of it. However, it has opened doors for me. I went to Amsterdam a few weeks ago and had a Super Smoke Fest. Paris is a good vacation spot because of all the history everywhere, but if you are from the US, then it is WAAAYYY too different to live. Everything about their culture begins to annoy you pretty quick.
