So last week, I had a lot of time to walk around Paris and just wander. In wandering, I took pictures of lots of things, some that I will miss a lot when I leave. Here are five:
1. Round-abouts
In paris, there are a lot of roundabouts, circles, etoiles... instead of four-way intersections. and these circles aren't huge. Traffic in the circle is usually self-regulated (no lights).
When you ride a bike in Paris, (it's quite common) you ride with traffic and next to cars... it can be a bit scary.
2. Newstands
They all look about the same... like this all over streets of Paris =)3. Toilettes (they're free, gratuit)
I've never been in one, I don't think I want to go in... it's like a fancier looking Johnny located on streets of Paris.
Closer... it's occupied.4. History of Paris Signs
All over Paris, these signs exist to tell you the history of a certain building, park, square, fountain, etc. This one is about the Seine River. They're in French, and sometimes easy to miss if you aren't really looking for one.5. Public Trash
All are in green see through bags. The material is TOUGH... I've seen some that were filled with lots and lots of heavy things and still didn't break.The story behind the see through is so that terrorists can't hide bombs in trash cans.

I just had the most wonderful lunch at a restaurant called "Vin et Marnee". It was super expensive... but I didn't have to pay >.<
