Paris syndrome is a transient psychological disorder exhibited by some individuals when visiting or vacationing to Paris, as a result of extreme shock resulting from their finding out that Paris is not what they had expected it to be. – Wikipedia   We travel to find out from the first ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/multicultural-paris/feed/ 2 https://bkpk.me/travel-highlights-of-2015/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=travel-highlights-of-2015 https://bkpk.me/travel-highlights-of-2015/#comments Thu, 17 Dec 2015 09:03:47 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=16880
Ever since we started traveling full-time I don’t have the same feeling I used to have before: What?! It’s already December? The year went by FLYING!…”   Now, I fly! Being in various places and occupying your time with different activities, time dilation becomes your best friend.

Paris in summer is like a pancake with too much maple syrup. Good on the inside but unbearable on the outside. Tourists throng about all over the city indulging in the most obnoxious touristy behavior.

The recent attack on Charlie Hebdo has left the world pretty much divided into two camps. I am Charlie and I am not Charlie. Apparently people are mobilized by the fact that free speech has been attacked. The terrorists never said they were attacking free speech but through the media, ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/i-was-charlie-the-demise-of-free-speech/feed/ 10 https://bkpk.me/bend-it-like-the-parisians/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=bend-it-like-the-parisians https://bkpk.me/bend-it-like-the-parisians/#comments Mon, 10 Nov 2014 23:12:50 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=14141
Behold the impressive palace at the Luxembourg Garden in Paris. And then notice the even more outstanding girl twisting herself in front of it!

Walking around Paris earlier this October, I saw a scene that kept on repeating in the most touristic landmarks of the French capital. In front of the Eiffel Tower, in the “bridge of love” by Notre-Dame’s Cathedral or along the magnificent buildings of La Concorde, Asian couples would pose in ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/chinese-wedding-portraits-in-paris/feed/ 6 https://bkpk.me/food-porn-a-year-of-food-around-the-world-2/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=food-porn-a-year-of-food-around-the-world-2 https://bkpk.me/food-porn-a-year-of-food-around-the-world-2/#comments Tue, 19 Nov 2013 19:07:01 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=10203
It has been over a year since I put together “The Yummiest Blog Post of the Year“.

Paris is not a great travel destination in the middle of July. Places are crowded, the charm of little cobblestone streets is replaced by loud groups of tourists and it’s impossible to appreciate the facade of any fairly famous building or monument without encountering smiling faces and jumping bodies, posing ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/my-paris/feed/ 10 https://bkpk.me/from-amsterdam-to-paris-on-a-unicycle/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=from-amsterdam-to-paris-on-a-unicycle https://bkpk.me/from-amsterdam-to-paris-on-a-unicycle/#comments Sat, 14 Sep 2013 07:16:01 +0000 Yoshe Watson http://bkpk.me/?p=9531
I am currently spending 10 days traveling 643km from Amsterdam to Paris… on a unicycle. This idea was born as a joke with friends at the pub, and gradually the more I thought about it, the more this ridiculous, obscure idea began to seem like an actual possibility.

Paris as a city has an interesting layout. Instead of being planned in squares, the city is laid out in concentric localities called arrondissements. Each arrondissement is it’s own locality and people refer to them with numbers. This is the town hall which is in the 10th arrondissement of Paris. ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/town-hall-in-paris/feed/ 0 https://bkpk.me/charming-etretat/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=charming-etretat https://bkpk.me/charming-etretat/#comments Sun, 11 Aug 2013 02:35:07 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=9050
On a fine Saturday morning in July, we decided to make a trip with some friends to Etretat, a little town in France that lies in the region of Normandy.
