Pissed off in Paris: En Route to Somewhere Else
http://pissedoffinparis.blogspot.com/2013/12/en-route-to-somewhere-else.html
Pissed off in Paris. Friday, 20 December 2013. En Route to Somewhere Else. I have often used my trip to Paris as a frame for a trip to somewhere else. Mainly because I can't imagine going to Europe without going to Paris. I have done the Paris-London thing, Paris-Perigord, Paris-Kiev, Paris-Eindhoven, Paris-Amsterdam and Paris-Venice. I loved Lviv but wasn't too keen on Kiev. Kiev was cheaper than Paris but had nothing I wanted to buy. And far too many Russians for my comfort. But there's something about...

Pissed off in Paris: October 2012
http://pissedoffinparis.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Pissed off in Paris. Friday, 26 October 2012. I really love travelling to Paris. For years, I waited to travel with a boyfriend, thinking this was the thing to do with the ultimate of romantic destinations. On my 30th birthday, I finally gave up and took myself. Later I did travel with a boyfriend and if anything, it took the romance out. Of the city. While my idea of a great time was hanging out at The Village Voice. I only got a window table once at Angelina's on rue Rivoli. At my favorite place fo...

Pissed off in Paris: August 2012

Pissed off in Paris. Monday, 20 August 2012. I always go to Paris with a list of things to do. No matter how many times I've gone or how long I spend there, I never get to do everything. Partly because Paris is always changing and partly because I'm not. I like going back to the same places, I like the fact that my. I always go to the same framing shop on rue Dante for wooden frames for my postcards. I've popped into les Deux Tisserins. As well as the Galeries Lafayette. Is on one of those weird little c...

Pissed off in Paris: A Burger in Paradise
http://pissedoffinparis.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-burger-in-paradise.html
Pissed off in Paris. Sunday, 19 July 2015. A Burger in Paradise. I know that people associate Paris with Michelin star restaurants, but really, with the cost of airfare and a good hotel, who can afford that type of food? It doesn't mean you have to eat at McDonald's though I have. McDonald's in Europe is not the same as McDonald's here. Whatever you pay in dollars here. You pay in Euros there. So a burger will cost you. About 50% more (or the current exchange rate). But it's a better burger. Follow by Em...

Pissed off in Paris: November 2014
http://pissedoffinparis.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Pissed off in Paris. Tuesday, 11 November 2014. Things To Do Before I Go. There's always too much to do before I leave. I make ambitious lists, knowing they are bound to fail. No matter how calm work has been, how organized I think I am, there is always a flurry of e-mails about things that have. To be taken care of right away. I suppose I could do them while away if. Socks and travel journal, camera and converter. I've stocked my fridge (which I also cleaned), posted one last blog and I think I'm ready ...

Pissed off in Paris: Longing to Go
http://pissedoffinparis.blogspot.com/2015/04/longing-to-go.html
Pissed off in Paris. Sunday, 19 April 2015. My very first stay. I've got Paris on the brain. Even more than usual. And I blame my friend Bruce. He called me the other night to tell me he was on his way to London and Paris. But those days are long past when I can book a cheap ticket at the spur of the moment and just leave. First of all, let's dispel the notion of a 'cheap' ticket. A visit with my sister. And what to do and (blasted! So I sit here, checking out Bruce's Facebook page with postings of my.

Pissed off in Paris: The Dogs of Paris
http://pissedoffinparis.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-dogs-of-paris.html
Pissed off in Paris. Monday, 3 August 2015. The Dogs of Paris. Part of me is always sorry I can't take my dog with me to Paris. Although I'm assured she would be welcome at my hotel, I wouldn't dream of subjecting her to a plane ride that I find increasingly grueling. So I leave her at home with babysitters she loves and I make due. I'm greeted by the owner's two as I go to check in. This greyhound in the Galeries Lafayette looks a bit sheepish about being there!

Pissed off in Paris: October 2013

Pissed off in Paris. Sunday, 6 October 2013. When I Can't Get There. Wear cargo shorts into the city or ever. But definitely the politics, the petty bureaucracy and the manifestations and the strikes and the politics. Did I mention the politics? While Parisians are getting friendlier in spite of their politics, the Quebecois are. Ask the former about the latter and you will get a very well enunciated earful. Which is what I hear when I tell them I happen to be from Quebec. But this is home, this. Blue Wa...

Pissed off in Paris: November 2013
http://pissedoffinparis.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Pissed off in Paris. Wednesday, 6 November 2013. My Aunt was surprised to hear I was going back. I thought you hated Paris? I thought you'd had enough; you'd discovered Amsterdam and you were never going back to Paris? It's like I'm controlled by flashbacks of the perfect moments: meeting up with Ian MacEwan, AS Byatt, James Salter, being invited upstairs for tea at Shakespeare and Company, being serenaded by the perfect jazz quartet just outside my hotel window. That's exactly why I need to go to Paris.
