In an effort to actually see Paris, despite the ridiculous work schedule that I have, I went exploring in the arcades. The sun was just setting while I was walking around which gave the tunnels a perfectly romantic and slightly eerie bluish glow that made the walls look golden. This was the first time that I brought out my real camera. That's right, I sucked it up and became a tourist. When I'm not in class or reading or working, I get my small doses of joy by being asked for directions (because I look like a local, obviously), actually knowing where the thing is, and responding (in french!). I was willing to give that up to take pictures and explore a tourist locale. My new goal is to figure out how to look like the camera is for art school, therefore giving me even more street cred.
Love,
Violet
P.S. Writing a paper that's due at 5pm (3hrs and 15 mins from now). Wish me luck!
You look like a local. My that must be such a change from this summer.
ReplyDeleteAnd giving directions part? You can do that in English, Hindi and French. Damn girl. I've always wanted to go to the Arcades. Surprisingly enough, I think I've seen them in Indian movies once or twice before. Odd.
I like when you look like a tourist. It's so adorable.
I have a picture for you from the arcades. There was an indian restaurant and I thought of you. Oh bollywood. Is it really cute when I look like a tourist? Mostly i think i was just super sweaty/shiny all the time.
