An American shared their ‘full Paris experience’ and it had Europeans hollering into next year
Over on Instagram, @garlicsensations has left the United States behind to enjoy a break in Paris. And may we be the first to wish them a fabulous break.
We mention them, however after they shared a couple of pictures and a line or two about the ‘full Paris experience’. And it’s the details of the ‘full Paris experience’ which really caught people’s attention. Because … look.

And that noise you can hear is Europeans everywhere hollering into next year and beyond.

How fucking stupid does a person need to be to arrive in Paris and expect to spend US currency?

I don’t really understand this. When I go to Europe, 99% of my transactions are cashless. Basically, my phone or my card. If I really need cash, which is seldom, I just withdraw it in euros from an automatic teller. As needed. I might use cash simply to make change so I can leave… https://t.co/K78msgLFvL

I once got an Uber in LA and the driver was convinced that the UK was landlocked like Switzerland….not sure I actually managed to convince him otherwise!
