Awards Part I - Paris Edition

There has been an age old debate. Arguments have been had, wars have been fought...i thought i would settle it for everybody. Paris vs. London, cite' au city. The categories are in, its on.

Let me walk you through my Paris experience in brief, and then get down to business seeing the French submissions.

Best Food: There is nothing more expensive than Geneva. After being to the only two places anyone argued with me about, London and Paris, it still holds. It is easy however to drop $25 on a crappy meal in Paris. Luckily, one meal had a very powerful impact on me and had my brain calling for nap time. There was a hole in the veggie crepe place that Toby from work said i had to go to if i go anywhere. He wasn't kidding. Its hard to say what was so amazing about it, but they just make it with love i suppose. They will throw anything on that crepe board, and find a way to wrap it up (giggity) and serve it to you.

There was also an international bread festival...yeah...thats some craftsmanship

Best Dressed: Though i didn't realize it before i arrived, there is still a great deal of ye olde fashion in contemporary styles. The streets of Paris are known for their...well...they're trendy. Very trendy.



Pay extra attention to the gloves and the feathers. I think they bring a lot out from a personality standpoint. It classic french style, they are packing: a longsword, a dagger, and a cigarette. I'm also pretty sure that the other man in the exotic hat is a women with a 'stache. I'll give that extra points to.

Favorite Building: I liked a few different ones. My friend Sarah urged me that we must stop by a cathedral that we passed on the way to Notre Dame. The outside was interesting but i really didn't expect much. The inside is damn impressive. Stained glass windows surrounds you, and various stories from Exodus, Genesis, Kings, Ruth, and more are depicted in the glass. Fellow member of the tribe JC also makes an appearance or two. But hands down, this was the most impressive building i saw.

Favorite Spot: Eifel Tower. I didn't expect too much out of it, just something cool, but i was absolutely blown away. It's shape just sucks you in. This supposed "city of love" didn't strike a chord with me, but this would qualify as a tower of love. The lights, the flicker show on the hour, view from the top. Few things can top it.

Street Performers: Really, not that impressed. You had some musicians, but having spent time in Geneva, we have more professionals roaming the streets than we know what to do with. The giant harp was cool though.
What is this guy? Kinda creepy, but i can dig it a little bit. I'm pretty sure he is on some type of bad shroom trip.What, the same guy up there went and painted himself gold? You gotta be kidding me.

Well you have it - Paris. Stay tuned for Part II - London.
