Bollywood meets Paris.

Tweet

It’s in the quarter of Paris where many Indians live that I’m staying. Indian restaurants abound as well as shops selling saris and silks, and shops that specialise in sending money back home. I love it. We have Bollywood films playing on every TV in every restaurant and since I don’t understand a word of it it doesn’t bother me. We also had a two hour blast of Indian music in the street last night with a large crowd gathered but I never found out why. We ate in an Indian restaurant last night, something I was loathe to do since we do that often in Belfast, and to my surprise the same dishes are different in France. In Ireland a korma is a very mild dish, in France it’s quite a lot spicier. But I’m determined to eat in French restaurants from now on, simply because I’m in France. That’s if I can afford it of course - I might need to sell myself to pay the bill.
