I work as a chef. My mother hates me. My mother wanted me to be an accountant. My mother lives in Louisiana. We argue a lot. I do not like to visit her. I visit the french quarter in Louisiana. I have a parrot named parrot. I have a boyfriend. We went to Paris once. We enjoyed going to restaurants and drinking champagne.
I am going on vacation to Paris this year with my sister. I don't speak french. I don't have pets, but would love to get a dog. I am 26. My sister is 22. My sister is bad at cooking.
Have you finished finalizing your itinerary for Paris yet? Not yet.  There are so many places I want to visit so my sister and I are now at the stage where we are whittling down our "must see" list.   Based on my experience in Paris, I'd definitely recommend seeing the Eiffel Tower and the L'Ouevre museum. Are you learning any basic French in preparation for the trip? Oh those two places are definite must sees.  I am hoping to also visit Notre Dame, although I am not sure how much we can see with the reconstruction.  And yes, I am attempting to learn some french phrases.  Although whether anyone can understand my awful accent will be the test! I got to see the Notre Dame cathedral and it was a sight to behold! I wasn't aware that it's under reconstruction. I know a little bit of French, having visited my mother in New Orleans, but I'm certainly not fluent. They are rebuilding and repairing the cathedral after the fire.  Hey, what was your favorite restaurant when you visited Paris?  I was thinking it would be cool to go to the same place and raise a wine glass to you. Oh, I wasn't aware that there was a big fire. Well, I have two favorite restaurants in Paris that, as a chef, I highly recommend. You should really check out L'Astrance and Jòia, though bring your checkbook, as they're quite expensive. Don't forget the obligatory magnum of Dom Perignon champagne! Thanks for the recommendations.  I don't know if we can afford two, but I will definitely advocate to go to at least one.  And I definitely won't forget the champagne! You're welcome. Will this be the first time that you or your sister will be visiting Paris? Yes, we are very excited about it.  We had to decide between Paris or Rome, and Paris was the winner.  Where was the last trip you took?  I know you've been to Paris.   I think you made the right choice. Paris is a much more fun city for twenty-somethings like you. I went to New York City last summer and it was a blast! I've never had a real desire to visit New York.  I have a friend who goes there every couple of years and she loves it.
