Before any of you go nuts on me, let me explain. She is not my slave, she has complete freedom to come and go any time she likes. She knows she can go wherever, and whenever she likes. Let me explain her history, and how this came to be. Last ...
Art, that poster is gone. Wow, my report of him must have worked fast. The SOB was hitting various posters with the same stupid message. I get this crap all the time here in French and English and put it on my reject list but they keep creating new ... Read More

Madmax, that post from the "supposed Captain Hannett Cole, US Marines", is a fraud. I checked all his messages and he posted the same crap on various bloggers here. I also reported him. These guys are so lame they use the same phrases that allows us ... Read More

Art, was Cherob's family caught up in the Killings by the Khamer Rouge? She was probably not born yet but what happened to her parents or other relatives? Jim Kearney in France (Jim Serne's cousin). BTW, Judy just wrote she just discovered your ... Read More

David, I just reread your original post. If you want to walk everywhere to get what you need, you will want to live in a city where the public transportation is good like buses, tramways for travel within the city and (railroads for traveling ... Read More

Costs can vary widely all over France but having searched the real estate websites over years, I would say the lowest cost housing is in the SW Dedongne and Limosine (sp?)areas and in the NW Brittany area. Of course, the farther from the cities and ... Read More

I hear the first Sunday of each month is free and I have been here a MONTH and have not gone to any. I guess I work too much. Anyone up for joining me?? anyone? .. lol
Gwen, just out of curiosity, what brought you to Paris. Given the world economic slump, I would guess there are not too many companies sending Americans on expat assignments. If you ever want to take a tour of some of the chateaux and gothic ... Read More

Reynelle; there was a common joke in the UN that if asked how many people work in the UN, the answer was supposed to be "about half of them". Actually, the people in the field like World Health Organization, UN High Commission for Refugees, etc; ... Read More

Reynelle, it was great working at the UN with 6 weeks vacation plus 10 holidays so that was two months of vacation time to enjoy Europe. They also send you home at their cost every two years. It's called home leave. There is on income tax on your ... Read More

Reynelle; the French economy reported ZERO growth in the last quarter and unemployment is as high as the US, mainly among the poorly educated classes. Construction is at a very low level. In 2006 there were construction cranes all over and houses ... Read More
