🚫less Instagrammers on the street documenting what they are wearing and less bloggers recording their museum visits and spoiling the expo with their shallow chatter
👍 for me…more café sitting enjoying un verre ou café
Lindsay I have been a long time fan, vocal Francophile and have at least one of your books. I struggle with your take here. You left the US, and presumably your citizenship(?) and highlight why others leave, for what you all feel is a better life in France. Now you take to complaining about Paris? WT…H?
It’s not that all your concerns are completely unwarranted. Oppy for improvement exists everywhere. Often, however, HOW we say something is at least, and sometimes more, important than WHAT we say. As a journalist I know you don't need me to explain that further.
Perhaps, rather than a list of complaints (even the👍 are thinly veiled complaints) the entire post could have been repositioned as a list of opportunities and you could have told us what you are going to do to effect positive change toward realizing those oppys…and by extension…what WE could also do towards that end. THAT is inspirational leadership by example. You have perspective and a platform. I would encourage you to use both to effect positive change rather than complain.
