Re: France
I had a great time when I went to France. Played the total tourist but had help in that I knew people who lived there and knew their way around. It was like having a personal tour guide.
One of the most interesting stories was about the Bois de Boulogne, a park on the edge of Paris, which is twice as big as Central Park in NY. There's a section that they call the Boys of Brazil. It's where the prostitutes hang out. A lot of them are very tall, reddish tan and pronounced Adam's apples. The story was that they were young, very tall, men from Brazil's Amazon area, who were convinced to come to Paris to act as prostitutes for a couple of years and get rich. On the trip to France, they had gender-altering surgery to guarantee that they stayed. Trouble was, they didn't know that the "cosmetic" surgery they were having was forever.
He warned me not to take any pictures, but I couldn't help it and did. They descended on the car and tried to break the windows. Scary. Huge people. |
