If you think tourism in New York or Los Angeles is too dangerous, you should probably avoid Paris, else you shouldn't worry too much. One car burning in Paris yesterday in an area no tourist ever went is enough to make internationnal news, that should tell you how dangerous the situation is...

I don't think it was so out of character for her to say that, it's just that the acting wasn't really up to it.

Ganymede stuff is confusing, to me it seems there wasn't a battle involving Bobbie but rather that her squad was wiped out by debries falling from the battle in orbit. And we really have no idea at this point of what went on in orbit.

Probably a bad idea. That's not the kind of thing we do in France so you'll really stand out. We rarely have stickers on our car or show publicly our political views (outside of démonstrations/public meetings).

I've never seen any arab doing pickpocket in Paris. Actualy there is a bunch of Romanians that pretend to be syrian refugees to beg... You will mainly find the north african looking criminals in the suburbs north of Paris and their business are: drug dealing, car jacking, mugging to steal...

I have not ever seen a burning (or burnt) car ever (in Paris, in the suburbs that's another story...), I have never been caught in a violent protest ever either. You shouldn't be able to either as the metro, buses and all public transportation are closed in the vicinity of any demonstration...

Well, I don't live in Vietnam, I live in Paris but I do spent 1-3 months in Vietnam each year. For business or visiting the in-law family. I'm from Paris, so weather is roughly the same as in Pennsylvania I guess. Hanoi in summer is hard for me, but Hanoi in winter is great. Saigon is pretty...

I've spent over a year in Vietnam now, the wife is vietnamese ( from Hanoi), I've spent about 40% of my time in the north and 30% in the south and 30% in the center. My advice would be to see for yourself, HAN-SGN is 2 hours and you can find flights for as low as $60, you can find decent hotels...

Saigon is indeed slightly cheaper, and yeah people in the south are nicer. Saigon is quite easy to live in nowadays, you can find decent western food, a lot of people speak english , and there is a large number of english speaking expatriates. The drawback is obviously that you have more...

Don't know about the TEFL, but I know you can find a job in 3 days if english is your mothertongue, it's even decently paid (at least 300k VND / $15 per hour for a beginner in one of those language school), which is already enough to live confortably everywhere (well Hanoi is getting somewhat...

Good choice, if you don't mind the bill !

It's not even aired in France. Not on any channel. DVD's won't be on sale until march 2017 for season 1 (not that I'm looking forward someone butchering the show with poor dubs...). Somehow people aren't interested in this show, until you force them to watch an ep and then they are glued to it.

The writing is good no doubt, but actors are also doing very good. I'm surprised this show isn't more popular. It's just good, and can probably appeal to most audience.

If you're thinking about a cruise in the north of France, May would be best. Before it could be snowing, after 15 of June it can be too hot. May if really the best for everything north of Paris. In the south, march / april / may should be good. A 7 night cruise should cost 700€ to 1500€ , but...

Depending on your budget, if you don't mind 300USD per night you can probably find a good one near the Louvre. I like the "Terrass Hotel" (Terrass'' Hotel by MH - Paris - TripAdvisor) it's near Montmartre which is a nice area to spend the evening (Montmartre, Rue des Martyrs, the Moulin Rouge...

Yeah maybe I wasn't prepared well enough. Next time I'll try to find good places beforehand because I was disapointed with the korean food I had in both Seoul and Gangneung. The western restaurants in Seoul are better than those you usually find in asia tho, but I didn't really go there to eat...

Well they sure could use more english teacher over there. Went in Seoul and Gangneung for a few days this summer; and even in Seoul very few people spoke english, even in Itaewon in that street behind the hamilton shoping center (quite a weird shoping center btw) full of western restaurant with...

What's up with the gun found by Dolores ? is it something from the first episode, or could it be a real gun smuggled inside somehow ?

Really great episode, almost a perfect balance between comedy and serious business. This show is so addictive, must be the devil's work !

I just hope they don't go the time travel route...

While we're at it, if you've run out of stuff to watch and haven't seen them yet, you can try Seikai No Senki and if you really have a lot of time on your hands Legend Of Galactic Heroes, they are scifi "ascend to the throne" kind of anime. They are a bit old, but I remember watching the whole...

Juuni Kokki is definitely one of the best anime ever. There were a few stories left, but the director died or something :( Anyway, anyone who's not watched it, should !

You're not lucky it's insanely hot for the end of august, it's like 15°C over the usual :/ I just came back yesterday from Vietnam/Korea, and Paris feels actually hotter... something's wrong. Did you find satisfiying beer at the Clichy's Tavern ?

You can find some interesting beer in Clichy's Tavern and the Carolus that I mentionned, bottled beer from every country, and some draught beer that are diffcult to find elsewhere, especialy belgium beer, like Maredsous draught ; Chimay draught, you can find a lot of good belgium bottled beer as...

What kind of stuff are you looking for? French food, any food ? If you want some beer you can try one of the 2 bars 'place de clichy', the Carolus and the one next to it, they have an extensive choice and are usualy open all night. You've got an irish pub very close the corcoran or something...

Romanians and Ukrainians ? Kinda agree tho, we probably don't need 5 of those. It's not easy, UEFA will certainly not go back to 16 countries as it increased its incomes significantly, but they do need to find a more interesting formula for the group stage. Or just say fuck it and go 8 groups of...

4 groups of 6, best team of each group advance directly to semi final, or 2 best advance but then we'd have an extra match. But the group phase definitely lacked something.

Griezmann has really been a tier above everyone else in this euro.

Not everyone is Maradona

And the Euro 1984, at home, as well. If Germany's team was 100% I'd say the odds would be 75-25, with the german team being a bit diminished we're probably closer to 50-50, and the winner having at least 70-30 against whoever win the other semi.

Second half is going to be boring I guess

So portugal and england struggeld against Iceland ? Okay...

That's a pleasant game

Well they did in the first 15 minutes

Poland looks good

I'm not quite sure I should be glad that France play Iceland instead of England.

Lol england. *Insert random joke about Brexit*

Germany seems one tier above the rest in this competition.

The fuck I'm looping at? So for 110 minutes nothing happens, then they start playing football.

Portugal can definitely win, the trouble being that if Ronaldo is not at 100% in a single match then the tournament is over. And even if he's 100% it's not going to be enough against some team, so with a little luck, not impossible, but portugal will need more luck than some other team that are...
