Anecdotes

 

This section is intentionally silly and not meant to be serious.



If there is anything I am full of... it is ridiculous and strange stories. 

And I don't know why they happen to ME. Sometimes I think that there must be something in the French water.

I honestly do try to keep a low profile but then... voila! Something happens. But who wants a boring life, right?

So where shall we start?


THE CASE OF ME BREAKING MY WRIST FROM TOO MUCH CHAMPAGNE ON NYE AND SLIPPING ON ICE THEN MATCHING WITH MY GORGEOUS ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON (WHO HAD MADE ME SUDDENLY FORGET THE PAIN WHEN FIXING ME A CAST A BIT EARLIER)

What are the chances? Only in Paris!




THE CASE OF BEING ASKED OUT BY A PICKPOCKET WHO TRIED TO STEAL FROM ME UNTIL HE REALISED I WAS A LOCAL BECAUSE I ASKED HIM IF HE ENJOYED HIS JOB

Again... only in Paris!
- INCOMPLETE




THE CASE OF BEING ASKED OUT AFTER BEING POOED ON BY AN EVIL FRENCH PIGEON IN ANTIBES




THE CASE OF THE SLEAZY GUY IN THE CHEESE AISLE OF THE SUPERMARKET IN TOULON



THE CASE OF THE FRENCHMAN FROM MONTPELLIER WHO FOLLOWED ME TO AVIGNON TO TAKE ME OUT TO DINNER

- incomplete


THE CASE OF BEING CHATTED UP WHEN INNOCENTLY PUTTING ON MY SANDALS ON A BENCH AT THE BEACH IN ANTIBES BY A GUY ON THE BENCH NEXT TO ME WHO WAS EATING A BAGUETTE OF THE SALAD VARIETY FOR HIS LUNCH

- INCOMPLETE



THE CASE OF THE METRO THIEF WHO STEALTHILY STOLE MY PHONE OUT OF MY COAT POCKET SO I SOMEHOW INSTINCTIVELY GRABBED HIM BY HIS COLLAR AND ASKED HIM NICELY TO GIVE IT BACK
