France Not So Nice Liao

Ok quite abit of people ask me if I will start a blog, not sure yet because I am very bitchy and irrelevant sometimes so random readers will think I am mad and then leave comments which I have to thank for or defend myself, yes I can leave the comment private but my backside itchy one, I sure will wonder what people think of my blog yada yada and then sure will activate comment one . I know I can moderate my blog but I am not PAP or Communist or Big Brother , if I want to control the comments and have only nice things, then it is like talking to my own shadow and when I nod , my shadow nods too. Not that I have anything against people who allow moderisation ( I don't think got this word but HEY! Now it exist, you learn new words!) I understand where they stand ( see haben got blog now need to defend liao) but for me, it will not work cos my view of this world is very warp so better save it for people who knows me AKA you guys here. I know yew aw luv meee belly muuch .

Ok rant time. I hate Paris now. I went there today to hunt down a bag and seriously Paris now belongs to everyone ! You can sit your child down outside Galeries Lafayette with a baguette and play " What is his /her nationality and I bet you can name 100 nationalities in 2 hours coming in and out of the shopping center". Where are the Frenchies? I took 12 hours flight, eat crap on the Air France plane to see Frenchies but what I see is United Nation. Of course I am not against tourists going there to support the French economy but if I going to spend shitload of money, I should get a Frenchie isn't it? No.... I got.. CHINESE! Yes yes yes, the usual lament of how Chinese are everywhere and how they got money etc etc but seriously how would the Chinese tourist feel he/she came all the way here to see Mandarin speaking Moroccans serving him/ her at LV? How would they feel when they in China go through the trouble to change RMB to Euros and make all sorts of attempt to hide the Euros in their bras, socks, ears, Lock and lock plastic teacups, their kids diapers and realize now Unipay ATM card can be use? The whole experience of being treated like crap by snotty French is denied to them and even the dog poos are hard to spot. The whole idea of travelling is to obtain some kind of foreign experience and not meet your own kind of people and system again. I swear, I feel so bad for the buckload of Chinese tourists.

And language. This is true ah, today I went Gucci, I got serve by a Chinese talking to me in English. I reply in Chinese Then I go LV, I got serve by a Chinese who speaks to me in French and don't understand Chinese ( she is a 3rd generation Chinese migrant in France) , so I speak to her in French and then I go to BV , I speak French to a French sale assistant and she reply in Mandarin. I went for a cup of coffee at a cafe and the Chinese waiter only speaks me to in English even when I speak in Chinese. WTF!!!
