Re: Pro: Edingburgh has far fewer French people. Sports_Gambler Send a noteboard - 22/10/2012 07:52:35 PM
Pro: They mostly speak English (or a close proximity thereof) in Edinburgh.

Pro: Edinburgh has kilts!

Pro: Edinburgh will have a group of us there for a weekend.

I can think of no pros for Paris. Sorry.



I jest, of course. But, if you're not a jerk or a psycho, come meet us. We're not psycho, I promise.


Oh, I was briefly in Edinburgh in 2009 and did meet Ben.
Edinburgh is definitely a cool place.
But Paris is amazing, I'm blown away by the style and beauty of this place in parts, it's just like the movies.
Really laid back lifestyle, people sitting in cafes and in the sun by the banks of canals eating and drinking. Great food!

You have correctly pointed out the one big negative of course, and that's all the French people! ;) The lanaguage thing definitely gets irritating after a while.
