Troops crack down on cops

On the subject of Paris and Parisians:

 

'Paris Syndrome' strikes Japanese

 

A dozen or so Japanese tourists a year have to be repatriated from the French capital, after falling prey to what's become known as "Paris syndrome".

 

That is what some polite Japanese tourists suffer when they discover that Parisians can be rude or the city does not meet their expectations.

 

The experience can apparently be too stressful for some and they suffer a psychiatric breakdown.

 

A bit old... but still funny.

Talk about clash of cultures. :D

 

No wonder the French aren't as good as the British at super-sneaking subterfuge.

I'll have you know Englishmen are always honourable, not only on simple occasions while we wait for a really good opportunity to knacker you.
