The 2024 Paris Olympics: should I stay or should I go?

With Paris hosting the 2024 Olympic Games, we residents in the city face one big question: should we leave the madness, or stay and enjoy the cultural blender?

This is more creative than most of the channels that think of themselves as filmmakers. Bravo!

[@amusingaida]

Thanks. I've learned a lot, but still so much to learn about making videos!

[@lutemake3]

I'm so glad to see you're sharing your thoughts on Paris again -- I always enjoy your insight on the city. Please keep creating at your own pace, and where your interests lead you to do so.

[@amusingaida]

I wish I had more time to do videos, but life is kinda galloping along with me holding on. There will be more, for sure, but yeah, at a pace I can manage with everything else I have going on....

[@philip5899]

That crunch on the baguette 👌👌👌!!!

[@amusingaida]

That's when you have a good one!

[@rahuldevgun8703]

U r one of the finest Bloggers around :-) ... your story telling is very nice ... get flattered

[@amusingaida]

Oh wow. I'm not worthy (to quote Wayne). That's very nice of you to say that. I'm always learning, so much more to learn.....

[@camilla_k97]

The Olympics? Time to go to Marseille for a few weeks😂🏃‍♀️

[@amusingaida]

That... actually sounds appealing. But I think for me it'll be Paris

[@Garfield.Farkle]

I think you should do what you want to do. Listen to your heart, Aida. Yes, it's going to be even more crowded, just too damned crowded. But if you can go to the Olympic Village, it will probably be an enjoyable experience that you'll be glad you did not miss. Paris is an international city anyway, but I think there will be a different atmosphere with thousands of athletes, coaches, etc. providing a different kind of vibe.

[@stephendanks1790]

Your videos are toujours parfait Aida et le montage est bien fait. Your event coverage is super and reminded me of the Monty Python Olympics. So stay and appreciate all the rich people who could afford the ridiculously expensive tickets. Watch from the streets the wobbly walking race or of course try and find a cute pole vaulter :) I will watch from afar and enjoy the spectacle.

[@stephendanks1790]

je veux dire sauter à la perche. I think I prefer the French name for this crazy event.

[@amusingaida]

Merci Stephen. Que de mots gentils ! I'd forgotten the Monty Python Olympics, but now I remember that skit. I wish I'd leaned more into that now (though I don't know how I'd fare as a Gumby).

[@robelliot3511]

Very original and creative! Bien Joué!

[@amusingaida]

Merci !

[@carolmartin4413]

Sooo funny. Love the cell with you on a donkey? Remove the Tour d'Eiffel and you are in Corleone? As much as I would love to see the Olympics in person...not in my home town, thank you. The disruption would be horrendous. Nice to see your vids again. Enjoy the Olympics 😊

[@amusingaida]

Glad to hear you liked my little trot in front of the Eiffel Tower. As for the disruption: as I said in the video, I'm of two minds about the whole thing. It'll be a circus. Hopefully the fun kind.

[@vancejones4804]

So good to get a new vlog from you.. Christmas comes early

[@amusingaida]

haha... I've been so busy the past couple of months. No time for KZbin. But, yes, I did manage to get this one out.... Hope you enjoy!

[@cocospencer7862]

😊

[@foziehkamani39]

The video was funny and interesting thanks

[@amusingaida]

Thank you! So happy it spoke to you!

[@philip5899]

Will you do a video on Christmas in Paris please 🙏!

[@amusingaida]

Probably not. I'm aiming more for evergreen stuff, and all those pretty lights are only up for a couple of weeks....

[@rahuldevgun8703]

when do we see u next ????

[@amusingaida]

Glad you asked! I am actually finishing up my latest video... probably in a week I think!

[@williamkazak469]

I cannot handle the noise.

[@amusingaida]

The noise of people partying? Or all the prep work being done?

[@williamkazak469]

@@amusingaida the audio sounded so loud and annoying to me , especially in the beginning segment and I could not handle it. I don't mean to be rude but maybe that was just me. I thought it was unnecessary to the content and intention of the video.

[@amusingaida]

@@williamkazak469 Thanks for the constructive feedback. You're right of course - the audio level at the start of the video is too loud. In my defense, I've never done KZbin before and I keep learning on how to improve all the technical stuff when I edit on my iPad. I hope you'll see that I got better at that (at least the audio level) in my latest video...

[@nivkhexonym]

i wouldn't want to be there w/15 mill spectators yikes and non merci

[@amusingaida]

Mostly that sounds like a party. But the métro is already filled to bursting, so I've no idea how all the extra visitors will fit...

[@philip5899]

I would leave !
