So I am just getting up from a night out with the kids… Club Rex is a dance club not far from my hotel, which opens at midnight and stays open past dawn. The drinks are expensive, and the DJ sets were all techno. I couldn’t help but think that if I had only had as much drugs as the other kids, I would have enjoyed it more. Do you have to do drugs to enjoy techno?

Thursday night after leaving the internet cafe, on my walk back to the hotel, I walked up Rue de Saint-Denis, which apparently is part of the red light district in Paris. There was a prostitute in every doorway, for blocks and blocks up the street. I was walking the street at 8pm, mind you, when the sun was very much still out. Bizarre, they can’t solicit, but prostitution is legal, so they just stand in the doorway and wait.

I saw the Musee D’Orsay yesterday, which was really nice. It has some modern art, and also a great collection of impressionist stuff. It is a real treat to see a room full of Van Gogh, followed by a room full of Monet, followed by a room full of Degas.

I haven’t found any pool/snooker halls yet, played on a tiny bar table with the British 8-ball dimensions.

Well that’s about it for now, hope everyone is well.
