Lost in France
By Tigasin321 •
I fly to France tomorrow (insh'Allah) for my annual vacation and have a nasty feeling that I have forgotten things that I need to do before I leave. I have remembered to have a goodbye drink with Bridge since I can't go to her leaving do and I have paid the bills. That should be it right?
Okay here's the question. What should I be bringing back from France?
Any ideas?
Happy wine drinking Richard123
enjoy your time there in good old Europe.
:-D

As this is Qatar there was the usual mess ups. I was in Dubai and was not able to get another exit permit until this morning so I am now leaving at 12.30 today.
But hey, a few extra hours in Qatar is always a joy.

Richard123 is in the airplane right now heading towards Paris.
Pastis is available in Doha, so if you want to place an order let him get a cute Italian guy from Paris :D
Richard avoid goind to Pigalle otherwiseyou will pick a cute girl wih the voice of a man. Rather go to St. Denis, there is a nice Moroccan shawarma restaurant there and it is Halal. Am not talking about the girls in the aisle :D also if you get some Saudi watermelon with you. it is very wet and sweat there but remember to clain your VAT at the airport.
Also if you can get with you some Barbican non-alcoholic beer that will be lovely.
Thank you in advance
Just try to order this food:
duck terrine forestiere
Serve with onion jam and thick toasted slices of bread ,you may also place a nice piece of duck foie gras in the center of the terrine without having to alter the recipe. You may serve this terrine with two original wines: an old Byrrh wine or a Jurançon "vendanges tardives".
Restaurants Nord-Pas-de-Calais.
you gonna love it...
I will do my best to bring you all something back. If you are really lucky I might even learn some culture and astound you all with my knowledge of Europe when I come back. Not very likely though.

I don't like French men so I can't ask for that...ummmmm.....wine, cheese the usuals. I expect them Fed ex Richard.

I know Richard but see, we kind of get emotionally attached to things and we don’t want to get rid of them. At most we donate them to Bangladesh, as this tower DaRuDe is talking about … although I’m not sure which one this is and it’s definitely not the London’s one!
Take for example the funny round shaped extremely old building, I think they call it the colosseum (BTW you’ll see it there in France). That thing is indecently old, half broken and the other half is falling apart, still the French don’t have the guts to pull it down! About that?
Thats a good comment.
;-DDDD
Europe has a big history and a verry old one.
I believe that it is confusing you.

London, Germany also has a leaning tower? See that's the problem with all you Europeans. All the stuff in your country of Europe is like so old it either falls down or starts leaning.
You guys have too much old stuff in your country. Why don't you just knock it down and build some cool new stuff. We do that in America. That's why America is better its newer.
I read somewhere that Switzerland is like 800 years old. That's too old man. These Swiss guys should be trying to extend their country or make it newer.
America is like 231 years old. That's pretty old I know, but we keep extendending our borders and we are much bigger than we were 231 years ago. That's why America is better.
Its like, grow or die dude. Or just get so old and small like Switzerland.

Have a nice holiday man. bring some Frog Legs for me.
Geography never was my strong point. I think Vasquez may have been trying to confuse me. So the leaning tower of Venice is in Italy right?

tartes aux lards is pretty good too, but not travel friendly.
if i went to france, i would come back with a sore belly and a hangover.
aside from some blurred memories, i can't think of anything to bring back.

bring a frog back (its not haram !)
Was planning to go to the leaning tower of Venice. Good idea. You say its just a few hours north of Paris? Paris is in Italy right?

Have a nice holiday richard
Bring back some fine Cigars or maybe Brandy - they have a lot of that
Remember to take pictures of you at the Leaning tower of Venize - that's just a few hours north of paris
- I took the blue pill and found myself alive in Qatar - wish I had taken the red and stayed in Europe
It is verry tasty but also not allowed to bring to Doha.

and of course I know that France is renowned for its bananas so I will be sure to take your advice. Unfortunately, as you say they don't travel well so I can't bring them back.
If I want cheese I go to Holland if I want wine I go to California. There must be something worth bringing back from France?

i had the best banana of my entire life.
i was travelling with some aussie friends, and one of them bought the banana in question. after one bite he told me i had to try it. it was early in the morning and i wasn't interested, but such was the magnificence of this piece of fruit that my friend would not take no for an answer.
well, lucky for me he pushed on, because that banana was by far the best banana i have ever had in my entire life.
they don't travel well, so i will recommend that you eat one there.
happy travels.

Just check out if my name (Ray) is still inscribed on the woodwork at the top level of the Eiffel Tower, direction facing the Sienne river. I remember my tour guide telling me that re-painting/renovating Eiffel tower is a continuous process which takes 7 years top to bottom.
Considering I had inscribed it in 2001, it should still be there! :P
Have fun bro and a great vacation too!

Wish you relax and have a good time in France.
If I come over there to visit you, I'll take the master bedroom, O.K.?
how about some can-can petticoats to wear under the abayas I think all us girls will soon be buying.
~~thinks~~ May have to tailor the abayas so's they swing up over ones head at the back and can cope with doing the splits, but such fun to dance in. ooh la la! ;o)
OK I'm off now too - flying up to Edinburgh in a couple of hours time.
Have a great time in gay Paris' !
I am going to the Vendee region in France for 3 weeks but I have to come back here for two days in the middle so I guess I am going there twice!
