I spent 6 months in Paris when it was being bombed by Algerian Terrorists. All the garbage can lids were welded shut and soldiers patrolled the subways with bomb sniffing dogs. There were a couple bombings while I was there. My intention is not to romanticize it because people died and were hurt but as a young person feeling invincible, man was it exciting living dangerously (well maybe not that dangerous but still).
