Here we are
We arrived last night at the airport with a little bit late, around 9 o'clock and a half.
Paris metro and bus. To 11 and mezzo we were in our apartment. Cute and comfortable.
Morning shopping and accommodation of the house. There's already left a fifth of the money that we calculated for a month's spending. Here everything is definitely more expensive.
The metro is only 2 minutes walk from here.
We are mad all day to find a power outlet with the French ... in the end we did it!
For now,
Paris is everything.
Supermarket
We just returned from the supermarket.
Go to the shops I like a lot. And 'one of those things that tourists do not and that only the Parisians "residents" are real. Also does so "giovanecoppiaconvivente" walkers in search of rayons various frozen foods, meats, dairy products, meat, pasta ... (do not be fooled! much the French love pasta and are the same brands and the same formats that are with us, who, then, is not less as it was felt a bit 'of years ago).
The products are the super give you the pulse of the situation of a people, or even a city. Here is all in single portions, or ready for the oven, this means that people are often alone and does not want to waste time to get to eat this because in
Paris he runs. Ever. Also at the table.
It 'amazing how much things you can find to do in the microwave in a matter of minutes, ranging from couscous (to please the friends of those connected with the tradition), the Cantonese rice (you have no idea how many Chinese there are here!).
Ok, you say, even from us there is a lot of things to do in the microwave.
Yes, but here it is double, and all things very exotic.
Personally I do not find a bad thing, indeed. This will bring the people, albeit very rough, flavors and to other cultures. Perhaps the things we should be a bit 'better if the supermarket is something typical, say, the Albanians, of Tunisian or, say, a Dominican. Even eating is a form of knowledge, and we know that knowledge overcomes the prejudice and ignorance. For what will be here, good or bad, everyone seems (and I stress appears) to live so well together?? Who knows ...
But it is not only to super that you can get acquainted with other culinary peoples around there are restaurants of every nationality: Thai, greek, Lebanese ...
In fact tonight I will give my digression culinary favorite: SUSHI! I already have you wanting more ...
I promise that tomorrow you will also see some photos and comments about this restaurant that we tracked through the network (not if it comes out eh!), And is so highly recommended. We'll see.
Bercy
We like to walk down the street and be mistaken for French and not for tourists. We have the iPod on the subway, we have guides, we are very loose on the streets. Take the subway without bothering to check all the stops and lines, we have not bulky backpacks, but just a bag with the bare minimum. Let's go home and go out an hour at a time that we want we want.
We like it here. Too.
Today we were to Cinématèque Française. A bit disappointing.
From the town of Nouvelle Vague I expected a little more sincerely. There are just things from the early years of cinema, the Lumiere, Melies and the early films.
Nothing cinema of the '60s. Ok that you have invented the cinema, but are home to Breathless ...
Pity really.
Then we were Mitterand National Library and we shot for
Bercy.
Then we were back to the Latin Quarter, and this time we got to the Pantheon.
And tonight?
Or finally go to that pub / clinic, or going to see the Simpsons or go on the Seine.
We will find out just living.
