Swimming in Paris
Current mood: outraged by this city and its people. I hope we lose the world cup just to piss them off.
I don't understand this country. I tried to go swimming tonight. I just got back home; 20min after I left, dry. Great.
I went to the closest pool open, two metro stations away from Nation. I got there and I what did I see? A BATHTUB! Full of people pretending they were swimming. Damn frogs! There was at least 10 people per 25 meters lane. There was TRAFFIC!!! And wearing a swimming head cap thingy was obligatory. Fuck that shit!
So I got home thinking I'm gonna call the pools and try to figure out where I can go swim, not splash. Silly me, I forgot that in France you don't get to speak to someone when you call the contact number written on their site. You get a machine that talks for an hour before it gives the timetable. Just the timetable!!! I tried another number from the city of Paris'site and the machine was saying: "If you want to declare a dead bird on the street press one, if you want..." for God knows how long. Thanks a lot Paris for being so convenient!
They are killing me. It's just exhausting when people don't want to be efficient...
If you plan on coming to France eventually, cancel. If you can't cancel, learn yoga...
...If you manage to figure out where and when.

It is so sad that it's true... I was so upset yesterday!
I have my plane ticket already to come back but time is tricky. It takes forever to get to the day you finally leave and then it goes by the fastest it can. Damn you Chronos!!

So here it is. The place where I can read PB's inner thoughts! I've been waiting for this since forever! Let me assure you that I will personally deal with your swimming pool problem so that you can stop criticizing Paris. How dare you?
Anyway, love your blablabla smiley, it is so much like you!
