On some of the days, I walked through Paris vigorously shaking my head in response to the habits of the Parisiens. So what I decided to do was to write down all of my questions about Paris in the hopes that I would later find some answers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
1. Why do drivers in Paris sound their horns all the time?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The roads are full, no car is moving but still, some of the Paris drivers feel obliged to sound their horn. Where do they expect the car in front of them to go? Traffic doesn\u2019t move any quicker to the sound of horns. So what on earth do the drivers in Paris get out of the horns?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Why do the French cause so much rubbish?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The touristy routes are very clean and tidy, there is no question about that. There are many bins available and people actually use them. But once you leave the tourist routes or stay in a flat as we did you will see rubbish everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The already very narrow sidewalks are crowded with overflowing bins. Bags are scattered all around them. And the problem isn\u2019t that the rubbish isn\u2019t picked up. I have rarely seen so many rubbish collection vehicles around a city, even on Saturdays. I rather felt like there is simply a lot more rubbish produced in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even we caused many empty glass and plastic bottles. A major downside is that the Paris tap water smells of chlorine and we, therefore, did not drink it. And that\u2019s how rubbish is produced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
