Paris is..too much!

The words I have in my mind for a few weeks are exactly these: Paris is...too much!

I am living an amazing experience. I work with true specilists, with the most important people in the HR of Alcatel-Lucent in the world, I am given extra tasks and being sent to business trips (yes, I am going to UAE for a week!).

I live in the city of culture and art, light and love; I live in a real "melting pot" as you can hear 3 or 4 languages each day on the street (not only French or English). I very often hear Romanian while walking on the street or going by metro!
It is a city that you either fall in love with, or dislike! The same thing applies to the country: either you like France and French people, or you totally dislike them!

I hang out with people from all around the globe. We go out, throw in parties, have anniversaires, dinners and lunches together; we try out new clubs and bars and we go to the Opera; people come, people leave; it is both happy to know so many people, but also hard to integrate, hard to keep up!

With all these, after I draw the line, I still feel like saying: Paris is...too much!
As it is too sudden! Too much! Too much responsibility, too much work, too much into the unknown, too many people, too much lonelliness. I know for a fact that my cultural shock is in the anxiety phase :) which means I am somewhere down; but it is a nice time, anyway. I am analyzing a lot the world around me and what I am doing here and what I want to do next!
I have to take the most of everything and everyone, I know. And I will.

As to how France is, I have no further impressions...if curious, post a comment! I am not fully feeling the French spirit anyway as I am so much working and hanging around in a multicultural environment!

Last but not least, what you can listen to:
