RE: A weekend in Paris - Fluctuat nec mergitur [EN/FR]
I'm sorry for the "not so good" experience that you had in Paris, it's unfortunately not so rare! That's why when I travel I try to look as little as possible like a tourist ... But when I'm lost, and I look on my road map to find my way, I'm easily identifiable! Haha. I hope that if you go back one day to Paris, you'll have a better experience ;)
Thank you for your nice comment @delishtreats :)
It's difficult to look like a tourist when you don't speak the language which is my case ;) But nowadays I don't even bother.. 2 years ago we went to Rome and there were those guys giving roses to women. He pushed the rose in my hand and I couldn't do much so I took it.. then I walked away. He was following me and asking for money. I tried to explain to him that he gave it to me and that he can PLEASE have it back but he wouldn't take it. At the end I told him, fine, if you don't take it I just leave it here and put the rose on the ground. He was pissed off and was screaming some nasty Italian words to me but I just walked away.. They are so annoying and it can happen anywhere..
