On the other side of the equator - Paris to Joahnnesburg

[xp_daytripper]

Ten hours. In a plane. Where you can't smoke. Kill me now.

At least I had plenty to read - still working my way through the disks a certain bastard gave me. Marie-Ange, if George suddenly disappears, don't panic, it's because I managed to find his off switch. Tho' I doubt I could do it long-distance. And it's a hell of a long distance.

Paris feels very mellow, which isn't surprising considering it's the city of love. Mellow and warm and kind of tingly. Johannesburg, on the other hand... earthy. Old. The city itself is very English - not surprising, considering the people who built it were from Jolly Old - and on the surface it's got a similar vibe to New York or Chicago. Underneath, tho', it's a whole other thing. Something deeper and older, like Cairo.

Enough powers wank. Got a meeting to go to. And nicotine to catch up on.

London is a very old city. It dates from at least the time of Christ. I can see why it would feel like an old city - it is one.

You do realize I will probably provide you with an endless amount of history about any city you ask for? Part and parcel of taking history as my minor, and having to research and study old buildings.
