Delphine 20,871 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 what do you have against it? it's an amazing city Only amazing if you don't have to work in it. Paris is way too energy draining for everyday life, no to mention Parisian's legendary politeness, or lack thereof, and that everything is CRAZY expansive. Paris is cool to visit in a holiday trip, but I wouldn't want to live in it again anytime soon. And this comes from someone who loves living in big cities. But Paris is too much of a hostile jungle. Did I mention, CRAZY EXPANSIVE? I feel like we ought to say it again and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't call it countryside,per say.It has all the hustle and bustle of a city but it's...not exactly a city??? You could say it's a small town or something like that... But I agree,I've always wanted to live in a pleasant countryside/hill top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsinblue 942 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 #LondonRepresent lol. tbh it is a great city to be in when you're young and free, but me and most people around me agree they wouldn't live here their entire lives or once they form a family (also, who can afford it?)

Did I mention, CRAZY EXPANSIVE? I feel like we ought to say it again and again. Paris is way less expansive than London or Tokyo though. And if you have a problem with Paris being "stressful" you won't live in any big capital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paris is cool to visit in a holiday trip, but I wouldn't want to live in it again anytime soon. And this comes from someone who loves living in big cities. I live and work in Paris and have been doing so for 10 years (I've been working full-time for 5 years but before that I studied and worked both at the same time)... it's perfectly fine, and I work 70-80 hours/week (je suis pas aux 35 heures ). It's not more energy draining than anywhere else unless you're a lazy person tbh. If you're polite with people, they will be polite with you too unless you happen to meet the few idiot ones there are but people like that can be found literally everywhere, in every city. It's not that expensive to live in (way cheaper than London for example and for everything: housing, food... it's so much easier to live in Paris) and your salary goes with it... yeah it's still gonna be more expensive than anywhere else in France but that's like that in every 'capital' city.

peachtea 1,885 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Sydney is only hyped because it has the 2 of the biggest tourist attractions there. Melbourne is far better. And this is coming from someone who was born and raised mostly in Sydney/NSW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphine 20,871 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Paris is way less expansive than London or Tokyo though. And if you have a problem with Paris being "stressful" you won't live in any big capital. It depends of the capital, really. You're treating them as if they all looked like each other, which they most definitely don't. For one, I'm pretty sure there are capitals with way more decent subway networks, Paris' one is like horrendous on way too many levels. Just that, could make a huge difference. I've been living in cities like Paris, Lyon and Bordeaux, and let me tell you Paris is 100% the worst out of the three. The quality of life I get in Lyon and Bordeaux, the reduced stress levels, the more chill and laid-back mentality, and the opportunity to find a decent home that doesn't cost an arm and leg, are luxuries I'll very much try my best not to let go of.
