parih - parce que je le vaux bien

mes amis, here is a picture summary of the 9th and 10th arrondissement. from revolutionary demos to l'opera. not the nicest area of parih, but for an adventure-seeker like me, the scruffy streets are usually the interesting ones. unfortunately, nothing happened, a quiet wednesday night. just the clic-clac of my heels rang across to rue lafayette. one little shop near gare du nord sells robes for advocats and magistrates. the highly-recommended ethiopian and the french-cameroonian restaurants were closed, so i had an excellent porto and cheese platter in a bar near the place franz liszt. the waiter erected the wooden board with the day menu right in front of my table. then went back to my unexciting hotel and slept and slept.
