Goodbye Paris - Hello Paris!



I left Paris again today. It has been a fantastic week even though I unfortunately did not have the time to do half the things I had planned and meet all my friends. Is it because of the level of oxygen but up in the sky the emotions are always different. I tend to be more sensible. It usually also is a time for reflection. As I sleep pretty well in the plane I normally do not have much time for a movie but I had a couple of hours to kill for breakfast and decided to give the Cédric Klapisch movie 'Paris' a try. And I enjoyed it in state not too dissimilar to saudade. A beautiful depiction of Paris serving as a background for some captivating intertwinned life stories. The disease of the main character gives him a different view of the people he comes across. I could draw a parrallel with the way the distance and / or altitude makes me reflect on things. I wish I could have stayed in Paris a little bit longer but I know I will be back to enjoy the city again soon.
