Hey girl, your social revolution has discovered capitalism through shopping!

I love this post. I often think much the same but not in such complex beautiful wording. :happy: It’s a sad reality that 1% of the population makes the world tick, go about life without any troubles, thoughts or work habits. It’s sad and it will go on because corruption will always exist.

How great you went back to Paris! :tongue: Makes me happy to know…

@Celine — Thanks! I have a few Calvin Klein tee-shirts, that’s about it!

@barbara — I’m not a huge fan is the district myself either. It’s not like I can afford anything… yet it was interesting to see and strangely disturbing at the same time.

@Colleen — Maybe we should ask them?

@Seraphine — I’m sure they sell shoes in pair, just being ironic… you never know in these stores!

@Linguist-in-Waiting — 90% vs 10%… just that makes me cringe. I know you can see these kind of inequalities in other countries as well, I know for Brazil, most of Asia etc. But I’m French and I can relate over there… not to the rich though. It was just weird.

@shionge — This must have been inherited wealth, definitely.

@kyh — Betcha! And I could never ever afford anything in this street, even if I stopped living for a year…

@Saskboy — Yep, same kind of thing. How do these people become so disconnected from real life… I don’t know.

@itelli — Oh poor student! :whatever:

@Trotter — Yep, and seeing that in France was a bit disturbing for me.

@Froggywoogie — I know, but considering the economic crisis etc. right now… it’s like when we were on top of the Arc de Triomphe and I noticed the penthouses around… not sure how much they cost but…

I’m not impressed by people who buy luxuries. What I’d like to know is if they actually “live”. Most of them fear actual life “getting older, wrinkles, decreasing health and death”. Leave them on their cold planets

Did I ever tell u about that student of mine whom I found in extreme misery one day, only to discover that that was because his parents bought him the new Nissan Micra for his birthday — whereas he said he was “led to believe” he would get a Beemer (3 series — for those that know )

At the time, I was working 2 other jobs — besides the tutorials.

It’s the same as the $716 CBC dinner dude. Totally from Mars.

Ah great description of your Parisian tale! So lively till I could imagine I was walking down the streets there!

*rolls eyes at the prices*

Those tags could afford my expenses for at least half a year!
