Description A trip to Paris, my girlfriend and I ran over the street with a hoard of crazy pedestrians, and the cars weren't really holding still, so it was a completely chaotic situation, and yet, I still managed to snap this picture almost while running - it was an amazing light.

Nice shot!

I have a story about paris.. lol. my parents, little brother and I (i was like 5) were on vacation in belgium so we decided to go to paris for a day. After driving for hours with a sidetrip to luxembourg, we got there. Only to find that the drivers there are worse than the homicidal cab drivers in new york. And some of the streets didn't have lines on the road. So at one point, while driving at about 80 mph, we had to drive off the road, with my mother grabbing onto my brother and me for dear life, to make room for four cars driving at us in the opposite direction. THAT WAS A FUN TRIP!

Sounds like it! And yeah, they're completely crazy in Paris - I was there for about a week, and saw my life flash before my eyes at least a couple of times...
The weird thing is that it's nothing, and I mean nothing, compared to other places in southern Europe; I've been to Florence where most of the cars are really, really small - and they have to be 'cause the streets are so narrow, so sometimes a car has to back all the way up a street if an opposing driver comes his way... It's the same thing in Northern Spain around Barcelona - It's just not clear if a street is one-way only or not, again 'cause of these narrow streets - completely insane!
The worst place however is Rhodes where the Greeks just wanna kill eachother - there's no rules - I once crashed in a cab with my parents - and the driver got in a fight with the other driver... We had to walk the rest of the way... Crazy!!!

LOL @ RHODES.

The second worst plave I've been for driving is Boston.. if you've heard stories, they're true, but accidents are usually not. No one really gets into accidents from what I see. We have a big bulky car (escalade esv.. its huge) and my dad usually goes nuts because its so bad.. and because my mother screams bloody murder.

Good times.
And no prob for the fav
