{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.





La rue Soufflot in 1850 and 158 yrs later
