More comments on travel

In no particular order:
First croissant in France: burned.
Montparnasse station chairs are likely to be covered in bird poop because, you guessed it, the station is full of dive bombing birds. Funny? Not when they land on your plate and poop in your coffee.
Paris cafe seats are so close together I hope all the ladies in the crowd are carrying small purses because if you have the big Louis Vuitton bag you're hosed.
US credit cards lack the chip most French credit card machines require for easy use and all French credit cards have, thus, while they can process your card, it isn't the usual process.
US citizens have to jump through more hoops in Europe than the Europeans - plan extra time to get back into the right line after filling out the required paperwork they only tell you about once you've waited in the first line.
Parisians don't dress better than Americans, they just wear more cologne and perfume.
Crowds of tourists suck wherever they are and wherever they are from.
Train stations should have litter bins if they don't want "suspicious packages" littering the terminal.
Bus stops need bigger signs, especially when it is raining and everyone and their brother has their umbrella up.
Giant white dogs (and I mean substantially bigger than Boris) with giant white balls should not be bothered when chowing down on the bucket of KFC left on the street. (Why left on the street? See lack of litter bin comment above.)
KFC is the most popular food in the world. What now, gourmet bitches?
