  • Remember John Nada : he saw the extraterrestrial invasion of the world that has already begun... Subversive messages that you can't even guess : Consume, Buy, Reproduce, Don't think.... Ugly monsters dressed like us and hidden thanks to mental micro waves... but above all, he was a hell of a wrestler !!! Stil... Be careful in Paris, the "consume" message is everywhere !!

    Vous vous rappelez de John Nada, ce catcher qui voyait tout a coup que l'invasion extraterrestre avait deja commence ? Leurs messages subliminaux s'affichaient partout : achetez, buvez, mangez, reproduisez-vous ? D'horribles monstres se cachaient dans la foule grace a des micro-ondes agissant sur les esprits ? Attention a Paris : le message "achetez" est partout !!!

    At Least Do This: Please be patient and compare the prices, if you really want to buy something ! Generally, any stuff is cheaper in the "2-figures" districts of Paris (beginning with number 10) rather than in "1-figure" district (beginning with... number 1 !).

    Soyez patients et tentez de comparer les prix si vous voulez vraiment acheter quelque chose : tout est generalement moins cher dans les arrondissements a deux chiffres plutot que dans ceux a un chiffre !
    Alternative: Enjoy Paris throughout its monuments, its landscapes and its people (unbelievable but possible !) !

    Profitez plutot des monuments, des paysages et des gens (incroyable, mais possible !!) !

     I really enjoyed my visit to Paris on your pages. I was only there for 1 day years ago and didn't get to see a lot. Thanks

     thanks for your info on Paris my first experience was not so good but then again I was not so well informed & a newby traveller. Many happy returns for your birthday :-) Jo

     I'm not the world's most industrious consumer, but that's a good tip about shopping in those "arrondissements a deux chiffres". Nice photos on your "strange summer" travelogue!
