Walking is one the best ways to see a country. It allows you to walk around and absorbe all that an area has to offer. So, I do just that. I take the train downtown the city like here in Paris and get off somewhere random and walk. I see a lot of things on these walks and sometimes I see things I prefere not to see like a guy urinating on the side of the street. I have not only seen this in Paris, but in Korea and China too and I am sure it happens in other places. Although I am sure it is illegal, the cops can’t see everything. Anyhow, another great way that is very popular here in Paris is bike tours. That’s right, you pay and you get someone to rife around with you to show you the city bike. You ride around with a guy or gal who takes you to all the “to go places”. I havn’t done it because I prefere to walk but those that do it seem to enjoy it. But nothing beats walking to me. And when I walk downtown Paris I always see something ridiculous yet interesting.
While walking downtown Paris today to go to Pont Du Neuf by the Seine river where all the boats are and you can take a boat tour of the city via the river, I saw this guy who was about to walk on a rope as his partner played music for him. I thought to myself, that is not safe, but he did it anyway. I stood and watched him and couldn’t help but record it and hoping he doesn’t fall off.
Here is the video.
Entertaining yet uncouth, but I wish I could walk on a rope. Maybe not.
