> France, Paris - visited it and that's a no-go zone for me. Couldn't buy a ticket at international train station in English and German as cashiers speak only French. City is a ruin after allowing all refugees live on a street.
What the fuck. I have been living in Paris for a couple of years and those are insane issues to have.
I have not seen an increase in the number of homeless people in the street (which is not too say that there are no homeless people in France)
All the automatic ticket machines can display their text in english.
The state of the city is roughly the same as it was when I arrived.
- akerro 10y agoI think that would work, locking yourself to a certain area of a city just to avoid seeing rest of the city. I would not like that. I didn't like Paris because of that, and that's my final opinion.
- on_and_off 10y agoI can't pretend to know the whole city but no I am not locked in any particular area. Of course there are shitty parts in the city (and even more just outside of it) but I have not seen any huge change this past year
- akerro 10y agoNot saying it's all that bad, I fully realized I just landed at wrong time in wrong place. It just left the bad taste... For anyone wondering I was also exaggerating a bit about Malta and Switzerland.
