Paris is the "City of Lights"...

...but I believe it is time to reevaluate the name. Perhaps the "City of PDA" would be more appropriate? Or, in a new twist, we could just start referring to PDA (Public Displays of Affection, for those of you living under a rock) as "being Parisian".

Imagine it, you're in a bar, on a Friday night, some overly drunk couple is in the corner making out and groping inappropriately, and you lean over to your girlfriend and say, "look at that tacky couple over there, they're being so Parisian right now."

It would serve them right for calling us out for all these years for being stupid and uncivilized. I'm uncivilized?! You just had sex on a metro bench!

In all seriousness, Paris is unbelievable beautiful, and the effort that they make in this country to promote aesthetics at every turn is unrivaled. I have never been to a more visually stimulating country in my life. That stimulation stayed north of the border, but hey, maybe if I had spent more than a few weeks here, I, too, would have turned into a raging nymphomaniac.
