Wall Street English

I found this sign on the Paris Metro. It’s worth noting that I took this picture at the height of the Global recession. Now, the causes of the global recession are…well…global, but that doesn’t stop folks in certain countries for blaming the U.S. and Wall Street for it.

I got a kick out of the fact that Wall Street is what they look up to here.

Nervous Disposition

Do you have a nervous disposition? Are you in need of professional help?

If so, don’t go to the catacombs in Paris, France. This is probably the only place I’ve ever been on my travels that promises to emotionally disturb you.

The catacombs are seriously cool and are well worth any emotional problems.

Back in a While

I found this sign in the window of the Galerie de Medicis in the Marais neighborhood of Paris (right off the Place des Vosges). What immediately struck me was that this is Paris and the sign is totally in English. Obviously, this gallery knows where’s bread is buttered – the Anglo crowd.
