Paris is vastly overrated. Just look at the thousands of Japanese tourists who suffer from "Paris syndrome" This is a profound disappointment and confusion from oriental vistors who have saved for years to go there, only to feel totally let down by the actual experience /lack of welcome they receive.
The japanese embassy spends serious money sending people home..
Just don't pass that onto Mr or Mrs Alves!
This part always make me laugh, who is supposed to welcome them?
