France. Paris. My dream! So I'm here. And I wanted to share my observations from the first meeting. But no sensations from the sights - it's magic, but talk about it a lot, written hundreds of guides and impressions from the surrounding my life in Paris. The lives of ordinary people.
Living in Paris, features French cuisine
Of course, the gorgeous French food and try some of its dishes you will never be able to forget the taste. I will not list the abundance and sophistication of dishes and tease saliva. All the same I can not pass a hundredth part. Shelves in supermarkets are filled with lots of fruits and vegetables all year round. Having lived here for more than a year, I still do not know the names of many of them.
Food stores definitely better quality than in Ukrainian shops. Most of them also cheaper. There is always a choice, cheaper or more expensive. Meat is meat! Expensive means even walk and nourished properly. Milk sours. Cheese without dye. In the sausage meat content of 80-90 percent.
Beer is better than Ukrainian. About wine and cognac are not talking at all. Bread - is an art! When you nadlamyvayutsya this crisp, smell ...
In my last visit to Ukraine I was saved only French bakery - have rubber loaves of French bread after the supermarket, then another test. And chocolate! Small private chocolate factory creates author chocolate - a true work of art.
Paris restaurants and cafes, bars
Every cafe, every restaurant has its own face, your heart, imbued with a special flavor. And each of them charming and attractive in its own way. Somewhere is a soft oriental sofa, which once skirt As for pillows, you experience the feeling of flying in the clouds, and all alarms disappear with unprecedented ease.
Somewhere it wicker chairs with tiny tables and a warm candle.
Or maybe it's a bar in the style of the cowboy era, the floor carpeted with checks and receipts, the wind chasing them around the bar. Men drink beer while standing at the bar, someone drinks coffee and reads the newspapers. Women here. And I feel a little uncomfortable, and I want a hat to cover your head and tighten the skin itself. And drink beer, and certainly from the throat.
And maybe it's chic restaurant, where evening dress to match the fragrance of expensive perfume and diamonds. And once in the head scroll through scenes from the movie, which tells how a fork and a knife that is. And the waiter is like glued. Uncomfortable somehow, I want to invite him to sit down.
But there is a downside as with all things in this world.
French McDonald's
McDonald. This cute fast food restaurant, with potatoes, which does not change its color and shape for months, filled the whole world and the whole of Paris. He is in Africa and in Australia, in Europe and in Japan, and in Papua New Guinea, probably, too.
This shit is full. Dine in their thousands. These aides add on their clone restaurants, but local origin. And all the favorite shawarma. However, it seems, it is all the same it is not of the dogs. Homeless dogs in Paris there. What has pleased.
Eat cheap and cheerful
But I understand that people need to eat fast cheap and cheerful, and ran into the workplace. But the example of the daughter of my husband, I see as possibly fed children in most families. And while my husband is very intelligent and educated, he traveled the world, and still wears her daughter tights and a hat in cold weather. But she only eats pasta, chips and pizza. That I began to teach it to the potatoes and rice, and it cost me more nervous resources.
But the last straw was my husband feeding his daughter doubtful bag of pasta sauce noodles. Our "Mivina" just a storehouse of useful power. Those who have cats or dogs, certainly know how to look pet food bags. So, he pours the pasta on a plate and microwave. But quickly and easily.
Drink black, and green, red, yellow tea is for children up to 10 years is bad !!! It is we, fools, our children treat the flu and stomach problems. But it is very helpful to drink "Bear" -there contained the same black tea only in the chemical processing and a half well-known preservatives and flavorings. That she drinks liters.
Well, of course, Coca. Cola. It is generally well-known means of abdominal pain in children, including babies. Here are our Zadornov, not our laughing at them, and they Coke treated stomachs actually. And her doctor prescribed them !!! Thank God, not all!
Treatment and doctors in Paris
Sore throat should be treated as follows: drink, it is not clear from something like milk, plus the juice out of the fridge, plus add a dose of antibiotic. And the fact that the cold is not conducive to the treatment of sore throat, and milk enhances the growth of bacteria, including those that cause disease, it is nonsense.
You should have seen the reaction of my husband, it does not pass, but the memories I have an attack of hysteria begins, when I took a glass of water, add a spoonful of soda and started gargling. :) J throat went through the day. Soda and teeth treats and vomiting helps. We have so half of the country in the old treated - and cheaper, and safer.
No, clearly, there is a disease, when no antibiotic can not do, but here it is a panacea - just in case.
And doctors have their paws. Fluttering like butterflies, smiling. As a fairy doctor came to the house, I listen, write, flew away. And so easy after him, as if he waved his magic thermometer and the temperature has subsided. And our poor doctors ....
A very important part of life is hardening. Swimming pool - every second, and perhaps the first J temperature in the house cool -Maximum 19, and many do not even drown in the winter, I think 11-13. It is here I have a sauna, in which I merznu.
French old woman
But the old lady! I kept thinking, how they manage so well maintained. And I realized. Winter. On the thermometer 0. And it should be noted that due to the Atlantic, zero degrees in France is not zero in Ukraine. -uzhas Wind blowing from the sea. I'm in a fur coat, trying to wrap up the remains are not hidden face.
Issued babulechka. Well - dandelion, beauty. The raincoat-vetrovochke, well, the decency, bow tied at the neck, a scarf is not called, see below, and then skirt and socks .. and sandals. And then it dawned on me. Cryotherapy !!!!
We were all screaming billboards, This new technology, the whole of Europe to them, with the help of cold skin restoration and rejuvenation of the body. And it is more expensive in Europe we krioterapivschikov.
A great babulechki French learned to save.
Babulechka and walked with a bag-trolley in shop 700 meters, waddle like a bug after cryotherapy.
City of Dreams, I Love Paris
Something I accept. Something not. With something I agree, but something never disagree. One thing I know for sure: every day I fall in love in France more and more. Although I miss the Ukraine and I am proud that I was her child.
Every day I feel more and more that Paris loves me. And this love is mutual.
