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.

What an excellent question! If Emily came to Hamburg, she'd

- arrive in an ugly but very expensive Dirndl dress (which is Bavarian Tracht, but never mind; Germany is Germany) and a tote bag with 'I <3 Hamburg' printed on it
- eat nothing but fish, every day
- teach the uncivilised North Germans how to cook said fish properly, because people in a harbor town that's been there since the middle ages need someone from Chicago to help them figure out the correct philosophy of cooking fish
- make every male who meets her fall in insta-love with her (admittedly, this is not location-specific)
- become a social media star posting videos of her harbor boat trips
- explain the Germans what boats are really supposed to be like
- .... ugh.
