Disappointing to learn of the transformation of Paris by immigrants who refuse to assimilate

Having just left Ireland for Wales, I have run into immigrants but only English speaking causcians from Eastern Europe

After driving all over Ireland and Wales, the number of hijibs I’ve seen in three weeks is zero

Oh, you're surprised about my friend, Ricky. The explanation is quite simple.

Love, it seems, has triumphed over virtue.

All too depressing but true.

I came here from Joel Bowman's Notes From the End of the World. I very much enjoyed your writing and your observations -- good and bad -- about Paris. It's been almost three decades since I was last in Paris, and although it's certainly changed, what you described rings many bells. So much so I got an Offenbach ear worm thinking about it all. Thanks for the memories.

Thank you very much. I love Paris and France. Like any place, it has problems (and some are particularly challenging), but it remains a wonderful place to which I’m eager to return. Thanks again for the kind words.
