Sometimes, the closest cities are the less known. This was the case for me with Paris. Even if it's so close to Brussels, I hadn't been to Paris since I was 14. But last year, I decided to fill in this gap and to spend more time in the romantic city of lights.
Since then, I went there many times (I discovered many excellent salsa and concert spots) and even worked there for a couple of weeks in January 2005.
