What I will not miss about Paris

This is a short list: the smell of cigarette smoke and the smell of urine.
I couldn’t believe how many people smoke in Paris. Even at Disneyland, with kids everywhere, there were smokers. After the Parade, when it was dark, and the fireworks were about to start, I looked into the crowd, and the cigarettes put on their own little light show. I can’t believe I’m looking forward to breathing Hong Kong air!
The second thing is the smell of urine. In Paris there are public toilets and there are public toilets. It could be a territory marking ritual, as people (I’m not going to be sexist and say it’s only men….. ) seem to pick a spot and stick to it. Perhaps someone smells someone else’s urine and wants to put their own scent over the top of it. I noticed it in parks as well as metros, and on some streets. I would say I smelled human urine every day. Euros. I like Hong Kong dollars much better. I’d rather have $100HKD than 10 euro. It just seems like more! I had to keep reminding my family that amounts were not in dollars.
