I moved to France 4 1/2 years ago for (what else?) love and a new chapter in life. I've lived in various (not forgetting to mention breath-taking) cities in France but Paris is where I am now and I tell myself I'll never be happier elsewhere. Then some days I feel the urge to leave it. Why?

Charming city, free concerts and parties, celebrity bumping, model friends, easy access to travelling, Malaysian events where you get very casual with the ministers, world cuisines, chocolates/wines/automobiles - expositions of all sorts, daily events happenings, films in original version-English in my case, job opportunities, English speaking people, trendy people.

Sucky weather, dog poo filled streets, pee smelling metros, pollution, snobbish people (though I must say this has decreased in the last 10 years), small and overly expensive appartments, ridiculously tiny elevators, everything's more expensive here than outside of it.
It's a love hate relationship with the city. You have good days, you have bad days but you make the best of it in the end.
