Hello, Everyone!
Finally, here is the first-installation of the much-promised Blog on my adventures in Paris. I have already been living in Paris for about six weeks, but time goes by quickly when you're trying to get your bearings. I just settled into a new home, located in the picturesque "village" of Butte-aux-cailles (Quail Hill), just a short walk from Place d'Italie in the thirteenth arrondissement of Paris. I will be living with Gaël and Fabien, two 25-year-old mecs originally from Poitiers, in a loft/duplex located on Rue Des Cinq Diamants (photos to come). It's cute, sunny, very French, and most importantly, it's my new home (no silly sous-location here, I've actually cosigned the 9 month lease).
I have some catching-up to do - I'll try and make some posts this week on what I've done with my time thus far (investigated vegetarian restaurants, visited great museums, looked at a formaldehyde-preserved brains from the collections of neurologists Broca and Charcot). I'll try and make my posts brief but entertaining, my descriptions of food tantalizing for those of you craving food-porn, but I'll also be writing for myself, for reflection, so that I won't have spend a year abroad and have nothing to show for my time and experiences.
Description and documentation of my travels in Paris, France as a 2008-2009 Henry Russell Shaw Fellow from Harvard College. I recount my adventures in the City of Love and Light, my exploration of French culture and cuisine, and my attempt to understand the French tradition and medical practice of phytothérapie.
