Impressions of Paris

The first thing in the morning we did is go to the bakery to get some croissant 🥐. I made the suggestion to rent bikes to tour around in Paris. Bike renting Chen has an IPhone and she couldn’t get it to work properly. She could not rent a bike. She went with the tram while Cedric and me drove with the bikes. The bikes were very cheap. Only 1€/Day. The good part is that you can get a bike at one station and park it somewhere and get another at another station. There are lots of stations and you are always just one corner away it seems. This is my first time really seeing a #EUC and an #Onewheel . Here driving with an euc is allowed.

Welcome in Paris

Driving with Chen to Paris to partake in a friendly Hockey tournament. She asked strangers for help. She wanted to pee and to know where you are allowed to park. The ended up inviting us home to their house and gave us something to drink. I was too embarrassed to accept their offers. They turned out to be a nice couple. Agnes could speak German and English. So we could communicate rather well. The husband Mohamed is from Tunesia and could not speak any German nor English. He was very kind and tried to invite us to dinner. I declined but he insisted us to drive us to the nearest metro station. We ended up driving with both of them to the metro station and the daughter called. It was very sweet and it seems that the couple was excited and proud to have us and help us.
