I love Rome. But I gotta agree with Derb about Paris. I think my French-bashing credentials are fairly well established, but I think Gay Paris is fantastic (I also like the He-Man parts too). I’m a big fan of great cities and it’s unavoidable that Paris goes on the list. We love to criticize the French “social model” but the truth is it’s great so long as you have a well-paying job, lack initiative, love to lounge around in cafés, shop, eat well and don’t want to work very hard. That may be a terrible way to organize a society, but it’s a wonderful way to set-up an occassional vacation spot.
