I'am french and from paris. Yes it's true that paris can have some awful side, but there is some beautiful side too. I'am fond of urbex so i've discovered some place that even parisian don't know. And i know a lot of place in paris restaurant pub. If you want to have a good travel take a guide or contact someone local who can give you some tips. I always do that when i go to foreign country. Generaly i visit the local hackerspace and i ask my contacts in other undergrounds if they know someone or some place. Or i contact some people from the undergrounds that i know for advice. Exemple : There s burner everywhere in the world.
I think burners are not likely to be averse to strange mental states and are therefore significantly less likely to collapse in a sulking heap realizing their entire life to date in <home country> with its immense <economic/social> pressure has been a <well-choreographed cubicle waltz/waste of time/linguistic desert> and they should have just left... or that they can't order food.
