{paris series :: every city has a sex and an age which have nothing to do with demography. rome is feminine. so is odessa. london is a teenager ... paris, i believe, is a man in his twenties in love with an older woman.}

... interesting portrayal of paris by john berger, an english painter.

its amazing how unlike singapore, paris hasnt changed much since the 1800s. this, people, gives the city its rich character.
