My (Parttime) Paris Life 
I love the look on Adrian’s face…….This rube from NY coming to Paris with essentially no money, trying to buy the Paris apartment of her dreams… SMH
Rube? Moi? Naw. You know House Hunters plays up that angle for drama. I’ve been coming to Paris since 2002, I have Parisian friends who own and rent. I did a year’s worth of research before I bought. I knew exactly what to expect for my money and wasn’t delusional at all. The “dream” for me was not about some insane Haussmannian palace; it was a just a humble desire to put down roots in a place I loved, near my friends, as a way to find joy during a very difficult time after I lost my mother. I would tell anyone, if they want to buy in Paris, do your research, work with an agent, and be prepared as to what to expect there. And you won’t be disappointed.
By the way, you were joking, right?
