Since I have been back, several people have asked me if I miss Paris and how do I feel by moving from Paris to Aberdeen. I have reflected about this before, so I can summarize my thoughts:
1- It was a great opportunity to live in Paris but I did not enjoy the traffic, concrete, pollution, packed metro, noise, people everywhere, the cold, the heat, living far from the sea...
2- It was a great opportunity to live in Paris and I did enjoy the museums, independent cinema, free cultural events at UNESCO, art, the fact that I could go everywhere with my bike, the multiculturality, the great view from Monparnasse, the 14th of July, the arrival of the tour, the cheese...
3-When I ask myself if I could have given up all this, I can say yes. But if I think deeply, maybe I couldn't. My Tunisien friend Kari. made Paris a compulsory stage of my life. When in Paris, everyone should have a friend like Kari.: She is true friendship, cultural knowledge, city expert, political will, cinema lover.... Thank you very much Kari!
