I once sat next to a family from our local car dealer commercials in a restaurant and they spent the entire time talking about their recent trip to Paris. The whole conversation was about how the food wasn't American enough and the cable at the hotel didn't have their shows. Nothing about sights or culture or experiences.

That's because they didn't go to Paris to experience Paris. They went to Paris so they could brag to everyone back home that they went to Paris, and then use that to reinforce their superiority complex.

I'm other words, they're useless assholes.

If you actually want to experience France, you don't go to Paris

Exactly, you storm northwest France for so long they eventually name you king rollo and they name the region Normandy after you.

Everybody knows that.
