So, here I am, in Paris! One of the most expensive cities in the world, after New York and London! It's the most romantic city in the world too! I'm so excited the moment the plane flies across the Paris and I start seeing beautiful rows of street lamps and buildings, dotting the skylines of Paris, like sparkling little golden studs adorning an abbaya... wow!
But wait a minute! Somehow, it is still not as I imagined it to be. The Paris that I imagined had more chalk and marble buildings, compared to bricks and steel. Hmmm... I am a little disappointed.
When I reach the school, I'm surprised by it's scale. It's so small! Is it really famous?
And, there's nothing in this town! It's so tiny! What's here???
Oh no! I can't imagine why on earth I chose to come to this place! It's small, It's in the suburbs, it's quiet.. It's a far cry from Dubai!
Then I remember my boss telling me, " Don't look back, Jean. Whatever decision you make, stick with it. Stay on and see how it goes. Never , ever look back."
Ok. I'll stick around to see what happens..
