[QUOTE="fuindordm, post: 2592619, member: 5435"] I find them very nice as well--very genuine, very people-oriented. My brother-in-law tells me that it's gotten a lot better, that 10 years ago even everyone was worried about money and things were more edgy. But what I really like is that when you make a friend here, they're a real friend--they don't do things halfway. There's an english-language used bookstore in the Odeon (right next to the Latin quarter) called the San Francisco Bookstore. Not long after I arrived, I went in and chatted with the old guy who owned it. I asked him if he missed San Francisco, and he said no. "I've been here for six months, and so far I'm pretty happy with it too." I said. "You just keep getting happier." he replied. It's great to be living with people who don't think that work is the purpose of life. And I also found, very quickly, a great group of gamers in Paris--the Gamefreaks. They're about half French and half expatriats of English-speaking countries, and we play in English. I've been in Italy too, and Greece is ten times worse. Or maybe I blocked out my memories of Italy, it was a long time ago... My wife (who is French) would disagree. :-) But she takes the metro to work during rush hour, and one stinky person can be enough to ruin your day! I don't think the level of stinkage is higher than anywhere else, though. Yep, it is. I've been in there once, and they have a lot of good board games and strategy games. The RPG shop is called Fireball, and it's also in the Odeon. They've got a nice basement with swords and axes on the wall that we game in sometimes. Next time you're here feel free to join us in a game. Ben [/QUOTE]
