Paris was absolutely wonderful. There were streets to explore; parks to sit in; shop windows to browse; museums to visit; films to see; and English bookstores to spend money in. I loved the metro and the bikeable, walkable city. I even liked the late night 8-9 pm dinners which gave a person more hours in a day to enjoy life.
Paris has tempted me back to the west. All the things I cringe about that exist in the USA- car culture, fast food, television, the security of the American dream- were forgotten. Only the lovely things that I miss while living abroad in Africa or China existed while I was on holiday. Yes, I know the honeymoon phase of a vacation, in no way predicts the reality of the future, but at least I caught a bit of the western spirit making me ready to finally leave China.
