In Paris?

[dhampyresa]

For the past couple days or so, my Parisian/French friends and I have been playing "tag yourself: which Paris cliché are you?" and other things on the same "could this GET any more cliché" vein about the "Emily In Paris" trailer. And gritting our teeth at the sheer US-ness of it all

And we're not the only ones.

It got dragged by fucking Netflix france!

Si Emily était venue dans ta ville et non pas "in Paris", ce serait quoi les gros clichés de la série ?

(If Emily had come to your city and not "in Paris", what would be the big clichés of the show?)

Anyway, I am very interested in knowing how "Emily in [your location/subculture/etc]" would be like. Pleas entertain me.

Let's see, Emily in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada:

"Well, Canada is basically the United States anyway. I can't believe I need a passport to get there! What do you mean I can't pay in American money? Oh wait, you do accept American dollars but only at parity?"

High tea at the Empress Hotel: "It's so charming! So European! So Olde World!"

Instagramming "totem" poles.

LOLLLLL the one time my parents visited they dragged us off to Vancouver Island (indeed very pretty!) on a day trip and we had high tea someplace where my mother insisted on pastry swans because it was her birthday. I don't think it was the Empress, tho.

Do you get Anne of Green Gables questions?

What do you mean I can't pay in American money?

It's funny because it's true
