Lists Are Easy To Read

This is a list of things that I currently miss from NYC (besides the obvious people):

• Dryers (my clothes are hanging off of me)
• Grilled Cheese made with Kraft Singles
• My Blackberry
• Fresh Direct
• Numbered Streets
• Chicago
• The American Dollar
• My Watch Collection
• Mexican Food (Chipotle)
• Making Crafts
• Harlem (Convent & 148th)
• Alta
• NY Pizza

These are things I am assuming I will miss when I leave Paris (besides the obvious beauty, food and wine):

• Outdoor Seating
• Children in Colored Glasses
• Great Street Names
• Navigo
• Everyone in Scarves
• Short Metro Stops (plus they tell you how long until the train comes)
• Twingo
• Professor Christina Von Koehler
• Saying Hello and Goodbye to EVERYONE
• The Eiffel Tower When It Looks Like Liza
• French Limestone
• Taking My Time
• Napoleon
• Ample Use of Fur

Either Way, Cute...

Since I first arrived in Paris in August I have had an ongoing disagreement with the people in my French life. It is all in regard to a Renault advertising campaign that littered the trains and the metro stations through September.

Renault I guess came out with a bunch of new car models and so the campaign was to find babies of the same age and place them on the ads. Effective! Now I know the names of many Renault cars and get excited when I see those cars on the street. Plus the babies were très mignon! but they used the names of the cars for the babies as well. Examples Kangoo, Scènic, Modus, Mègane, Logan, Clio, Laguna and my favorite...

The disagreement lies with the gender of this child, Twingo. What makes it even harder is that were Twingo a real name, it would most definitely be unisex. I would love opinions, right now between people I know it is fairly split.
