Donuts For Me and You

April 30 - the flight there

SENEGAL | Wednesday, 2 May 2007 | Views [394]

Paris airport was interesting.  A modern airport.  The thing I found interesting was their duty free shoppe.  It was most likely the smelliest duty free shop i have ever seen - and intentional too - from all the cheeses and stuff.

Unexpectedly, I actually used more Chinese than English or French at the Paris airport.  There are lots of Chinese tourists running around, and I had this long conversation with a guy who flies kites professionally, i.e. in tournaments all over the world.  I have a pic of his business card.  The Chinese really are going to take over one day, and the French won`t be complaining about the American tourists, but rather their Chinese equivalents.

Air France airline was also an experience.  Probably the best airline food I have ever had and good wine too.  That was proof that the French really do take their food seriously.  I did not get to check out Paris on my layover, but maybe on the way back...
