I love anything about living in Paris. Visited a number of times, considered a year residency. This has some interesting insights to the experience of living as an ex-pat. Offers ideas on why the louder, more direct, laugh-out-loud Anglo Saxon doesn't play well in Paris.

Although, Sarah talks about her dislike of returning to her boyfriend's family home in Northern France calling it depressing and dreary. She then spends a lot of time enthusing over her own home of Sydney. She doesn't seem to allow that home is where you were raised and your heart will always have a cockeyed affinity for home however unattractive others find it.
