Paris Syndrome

Rate: 3 Flag

 

For whatever the reason, I just can't stop laughing at this.: "Around a dozen Japanese tourists a year need psychological treatment after visiting Paris as the reality of unfriendly locals and scruffy streets clashes with their expectations, a newspaper reported on Sunday."

"In Japanese shops, the customer is king, whereas here assistants hardly look at them ... People using public transport all look stern, and handbag snatchers increase the ill feeling."

A Japanese woman, Aimi, told the paper:

"For us, Paris is a dream city. All the French are beautiful and elegant ... And then, when they arrive, the Japanese find the French character is the complete opposite of their own."

 

Let's see, a bunch of well mannered, conservative, intelligent, disciplined Japanese visit a land full of cheese eating surrender monkeys, degenerate perverts and all around ill mannered swine. Um, yeah, I'd say that could be a problem.

 

All of Europe is pretty much becoming a third world crap hole. I thought it was getting bad here, apparently, it's much worse across the pond.

 

Vive la France!!!! Not.

It's quite similar here in New Zealand. However here it's definitely a class issue. In the mind of working class Kiwis, people who have enough money to pay $2,500+ to take a 12+ hour plane trip to get here represent the wealthy elite. Historically they don't revere wealth here. They have contempt for it. People who work in the tourist industry have to take a hospitality course to unlearn these attitudes.
That's interesting Dr. B.
The French are equal opportunity snobs. They loathe themselves as much or more than ouslanders.
That's a big 10-4 davyboy.
It's simple. The French don't like ignorant a-hole tourists of any stripe. If you only have the most superficial understanding of France from what you saw by watching Gigi, then their attitude is pretty much FU.

When I went to Paris, I had fabulous treatment. Knowing what the French think of outre' stupid American frat boys, I always introduced myself this way. "Je suis une imbicile Americain." Worked like a charm every time, except for that one French lady who took me literally.
Interesting ONL, no matter what culture you are visiting there's always "that one" lady who can be an issue.
Let us not forget the French consider the legacy Jerry Lewis movie catalog the creme de la creme of comedy... nuff said?
