The Night We Walked Through Paris Alone

It’s a scary city in the dark

Just before the coronavirus terrorized the world, my girlfriend and I visited the beautiful capital city of France: Paris — we actually visited Disneyland Paris and stayed in a creepy neighborhood because it was cheap.

We went by bus by the way, so that was terrible in the first place.

But the last night we needed to head back to the bus station, where not the politest types of people were hanging out.

It was just scary and cold, screaming people and weird bus drivers.

But not only the bus station was creepy, the road towards it as well — we walked on the left side of the Seine and there was absolutely no one on the streets except for weirdos wanting money and offer your threats.

We even took shelter in a dirty looking McDonald's.

But we survived.
