Beware the street sellers trying to rip you off for a piece of cotton that they claim will help your sex life (hence the name jiggy-jiggy). At the base of the Sacre Coure they will ask you to hold out your little finger and then tie a piece of cotton around it and continue to make a wrist band. After they have tied it to your wrist they will tell you they normally charge 20 euro each, but since you're nice you can have it for 10 euro. We pleaded poor and got two for less then 2 euro, not that we really wanted any.

At Least Do This: Advice, either ignore them or tell them your sex life already has enough jiggy-jiggy!!

But did the Jiggy-Jiggy bands help ;-) I should have known that an Aussie would be publicising the Paris 2012 bid when he's living in the UK! Nice page Mark! | irisbe Thu Mar 17, 2005 06:03 UTC
It sure looked freezing cold on that bus! I met those sellers too and it was hard for them to understand a "no". At times they got very aggressive to people. Paris is beautiful, I loved it! | ettenaj Sat Feb 19, 2005 16:39 UTC
They also do another trick with coton, did you see the "dancing mice " ??? we did and bought , dumb or what?? |
