My (part-time) Paris Life

I was in the library the day before they closed and picked this up as a "Staff Pick". The book may be quite interesting too but I decided to go on her blog and that is particulalry interesting at the moment as Paris and I guess all of France is in lockdown since March 17 so she's giving her experiences day by day.

Photos on her blog.



They can only go out for essentials and have to have a form filled out that they can present to authorities. She mentions that people really aren't generally hoarding since they have small fridges and are used to shopping daily and the French aren't very keen on processed food.
I'll probably follow her blog during this time and probably read the book as well. It seems like she hasn't been posting for a while since she's been working on a pet project called "Save the Paris Café".  It seems many cafés in Paris have closed along with other small businesses due to skyrocketing rents. It sounds like a familiar story to what's happening in Vancouver.
