It was recommended that I try  L’arbre de sel, a Korean restaurant in the 6e (Saint Germaine de Pres).  Though I’ve never had Korean food before, after my China trip I figured I could try anything.  My meal included deliciously seasoned delights; a vegatable pancake like appetizer that you dip in soy sauce and a stir fry bbq  chicken dish with a spicy twist.  After being blown away by those bites, I got adventurous. I tried Kemchi, which is fermented cabbage (an acquired taste that’s not for me).  Despite that, I can’t wait try Korean spots in NYC (any suggestions welcome). 

Paris is a place where making the most of life is paramount.   They take their time to smell the roses and their fabulous wine:)    So imagine the drama I caused when one night I decided I would soak up the evening by having dinner at a local french restaurant while getting some work done.  I figured it was a great way to spend a night if I had to be on my laptop.  But the locals saw it a different way.  How sad to them that I was working, while everyone else is taking time to rest and focus on food, friends and fun.
