Ever since I came here I've been eating nonsense food, like salad with couscous or cereals from a plastic bowl (I got that with the couscous) and all that with the crockery I took from the plane when I came here. So yesterday me and my friend prepared a little dinner: tomato salad in that plastic bowl, a french baguette, a bit of Saint-Félicien du Dauphiné (fresh and mild French cheese). One was eating with a plastic fork and the other with a plastic coffee spoon. Yummy.
The exquisite cuisine without any crockery
No need to say we weren't even able to cook tea or coffee, so tomorrow the first thing is going to Ikea which is opened till 8PM (mind that that's on Sunday!).

However, I have finally made some food supplies. So today after all the sightseeing of Paris ensoleillé, picnic with baguettes, fromages and after hanging out with all the international people, we were cooking some pasta with those of them that actually own some "normal" pots and forks. A warm home cooked meal (it doesn't matter if it was just pasta with industrial made pesto) is more than you can look forward to in a huge city where otherwise you can get just about anything.

What I have to add to all this is that almost everything French is made with style, even the (cheap) spices I have bought. We even witnessed a "stylish" French way cleaning: in front of the Victor Hugo's house one of the guards simply kicked the empty box of Marlboro cigarettes like a football to get it away from the fancy doorway. Do it the French way! Here are some other silly things we've seen today.
A warm welcome in front of a cosy pharmacy.
How to sunbathe in Paris: you take almost all the clothes off and go to Jardin de Tuileries, sit on a chair and make a nice sightseeing point for all the tourists.
The joggers in huge diapers (?!).
You can see anything in Paris. Even a man playing music with a plastic foil. And we haven't been around much yet!
