WORST Moments in Paris: Life in Paris isn't Always a Dream! | The Reality of Living Abroad

[@aimemaggie]

Ive been in paris for two weeks now and I swear to go I never want to leave. Even with confinement I've really enjoyed this experience. Yesterday I went to a park (within one kilometer form my apartment of course) and was just wondering around following the crowd of people and ended up on a lookout point where I got a beautiful view of the city and could even see the sacre coeur. Was definitely not expecting that and ironically my shuffled playlist decided to play la vie on rose which made me smile. But on the not so fun side I've been having such a hard time opening a bank account and finding my own apartment because you can't have one without the other.

[@elainerila9184]

gurl me too

[@mdte5421]

Before I moved to France, I made sure I had a french boyfriend lined up :). It really helped from prefecture, to open a back account, to have my french telephone number.

[@TiffanieDavis]

LOL! best comment!! 🙌🏾😆

[@nadiam926]

Omg ! You are very wise 😂

[@AvecPoesie]

Did you meet him online? How did you line up a French boyfriend before moving, if you don't mind me asking? I would love to do the same. 🖤

[@heathergittens3223]

That's why it's best to travel to those places because the grass is not always greener. If you don't mind dealing with those problems and see the light of these things, then go for it. Home is what we make of it. For me, I only want NY, and I miss being there as we speak. I left because of family.

[@FlexNFly]

Tiff you stunning beauty! Everything about you is magical. I'm Haitian and lived in Paris for a while I'm so happy you're sharing so many parts of it with the rest of the world. Every year at the beginning of the new year I try to move to a new country for 1-3 months. This year I'll be in Columbia! My home base is NYC. I gave up Europe for 3 years!

[@indoora]

In the past people did not have to pick up after their dogs, the street sweepers would clean it up. It was in the late 90's or early 2000's that it became law but it looks like they do not want to be responsible for their pet.

[@swicheroo1]

Dog crap on the street is why I did not ever eat on the sidewalk in Paris. It's so polluted with the sewage and dog crap and cigarettes...that I knew small particles were going to end up in my food. I ate inside. It's actually cheaper to eat inside. Sidewalk is a premium price.

[@indoora]

@@swicheroo1 I agree and I would always in inside as well.

[@TiffanieDavis]

Yeahhh it's wild here during the strikes!

[@takealeaptravel4703]

My twin sister and I spent the 2014 Holidays in Paris. In March 2019, we had the opportunity to visit Paris again. We were on a 6 day tour of London and had a Free day. We were ready to travel to Paris with our train and excursion tickets. Nope!! A strike was occuring in Paris and the trains were not running. We were Blessed to get both sets of tickets refunded. We didn't know strikes happen that often in Paris. Thanks Tiffanie for sharing your worst moments in Paris.

My first visit to florida in the 80's while in College I fell in love and knew I had to move there! Fast forward 30 yrs I am here! Left a great teaching job. Friends and family..The "safety net" was there! I met my husband and I have a small online design business. My artwork is printed on scarfs and bags..I paint Gypsies and mermaids and I am slowly growing a following! Your videos have been so inspiring! Thank you!

[@ceal4046]

the areas of Paris that are actually beautiful have been less and less over the years. Large parts of Paris are literally filthy, it's like worse than Victorian London. They love their dogs over there, but never clean up, they smoke everywhere which makes the air and buildings filthy, they just throw their cigarette butts on the ground and walk away. And with all the strikes, nothing works and even regular trash isn't collected. Paris USED TO BE THE CITY OF LIGHTS, it is sad to see it declining into the gutter ... literally.

[@marcerleangreen6810]

Tiffanie you should of think about becoming a shopper for us Americans that cannot get to Paris to shop. I am dying for a Chanel brooch and a Louis vuitton Onthego tote.

[@TiffanieDavis]

LOL!! Expat life can be crazyyy

[@sams3015]

I feel like a typical expat but getting robbed is mine. I was living in Denmark and I am usually uber careful about things but I had bring my laptop I used for work home, one weekend (it’s usually left at work) and I ran into a friend and we got food and I forgot about my laptop in my bag. Anyway at some point during the meal (with a beer each), a man rudely knocks the table and beers go everywhere and wrecks my phone and then my friend notice my bag was gone. All I got when I returned to work devastated in the morning was “how much company data was on that laptop and can you erase your laptop remotely” from my main manager then CEO called me into his office the next morning and handed me an old laptop he had and was like “I don’t want you carrying in your main laptop and risk getting it stolen”. The CEO was a local Dane, while the manager was an expect her self and she has a ton of issues, she was very fake nice while my CEO was kinda cold but fair. I learned a lot about Danes though, they might seem cold but they really do look out for you if the trust and like you. So anyway not an amazing story but it’s an interesting to me how different the approach was and also how I thought I would be so cautious and fine, never in a million years did I think someone would be willing to knock over drinks and break our phones to grab a bag. I should of saw it coming!

[@raymundofantastico]

Well I remember, after having flown from Jamaica to Brussels (a 10-hour flight) and from Brussels to Montpellier (a 6-hour train ride), we arrived at about 10 PM expecting the executive secretary of International Foreign Relations and his assistant to wait for us at the train station. They had sent an email message to our professor saying they would be waiting for us there when we arrived. Late that night, we arrived and to our astonishment, NOBODY was present as expected! We needed someone to take us to the students' residence where we (my colleagues/friends) would be staying at so we took a cab. When we finally got there (by ourselves at about 22h00) we waited and stayed for while (until 22h40 - 22h55) until a student rode by on his bicycle & used his magnetic keyring to open the gate. We approached a watchman who had probably seen us waiting by the gate to be admitted and he was there in a room sitting somewhere where we ourselves had gone to greet him. He gave us our room keys and other stuff and the only thing he filled me in on was where the washroom was and that he was only there to "win money" (his English was terribly bad so I had a hard time deciphering what he was saying). He then gave me and my colleagues a rusty old wheelbarrow to transport our luggage... We were wowed...

[@TiffanieDavis]

Omgosh wow!! Whaaaat an experience. Yeah, when I first moved into my dorm for school here I was completely on my own, 4 suitcases and all. There wasn't anyone to check me in or anything, or show me where my room was! Very different from my experience in the U.S.!

[@raymundofantastico]

Can I tell you? Many different experiences we've had in France! Deception is one of WORST and this was certainly true for me in Montpellier! Thankfully all the people in the residence were nice lol

[@terrifromm5085]

Love your top! I've heard about the strikes. Still can't believe you were kicked out of your apartment.

[@malkav0488]

Funny, as a parisian, I'm really, really not surprised by these moments xD None of them. For strikes, it becomes trivial when you know their path and stuff, but it requires quite the habit of knowing where to look about these information. For apartments, it's shooting a bullet in the foot to search inside the area of Paris. But on the other hand, knowing which suburbs are good also requires a lot of information. Really the crappiest part of Paris is lodging.

[@sunburn1013]

I spent a few weeks in Buenos Aires and was shocked by the dog 💩 that littered the beautiful and ruinously uneven pavements. I remember watching an elegant woman striding down the street in a pair of beautifully-tailored cream wool crepe trousers which fell to the very back of her heel. She stepped off the pavement into a large running pile of poop which stained the bottom of those beautiful trousers. My heart ached for her and she made a high-pitched noise of rage and disgust.😔

[@sbostic08]

😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@christopherdieudonne]

4:01 Oh yeah, using the securtiy deposit as last month's rent is just not done in Paris, even suggesting doing that is big no no for some reaons. Landlords *hate* when people try that. I know from experience.

[@TiffanieDavis]

So interesting to hear this bc when I asked my friends here about it they told me that they usually have done this & same for others 🧐 guess it’s a case by case basis

[@christopherdieudonne]

@@TiffanieDavis When I first moved to France in 2003, I came here as a masters student and the housing coordinator for the program said to every student that it is *extremely frowned up* to ask to do that in France and under no circumstances should we even suggest it to landlords. I did it anyway and the landlord didn't take to kindly to me even asking. But yes, you are right, it could be a case by case basis, like MANY things in France. It all depends on who you have to do deal with that day and what rules they plan to enforce or ignore. If you haven't noticed yet, French people love making up rules and get off on denying and refusing people things. Like you, I love Paris very much but ça c'est la France. LOL :)

[@TiffanieDavis]

So interesting! Yeah who knowsss I feel like at some point we all end up hearing different things 😆. My landlord though was a nightmare I’m so glad I’m out of that place! x

[@MrVikingsandra]

Snap! I'm sorry this all happened to you. I can totally relate! When I was living in Lisbon I also had paper thin walls and could hear my very noisy neighbor upstairs MOVE FURNITURE all night every night! Turned out she was a lady in her 50's but looked much older. She never went out, and walked around her apt dragging a chair around. I still don't know why, as she could walk normally. My landlady talked to her and told me she was "a peculiar lady", giving me a look as if to say she was weird indeed. The noise never stopped. Back in Germany, a Country where they always find reasons to fine you, they fined me on a train for having the "wrong ticket" when I was paying a monthly fee of almost 300€ and the train I was on was a slower train than I usually took going the very same route. Then in Sweden I ended up living with a Vietnamese dude and his sister. The guy turned out to be a bit of a psychopath and we ended up in court (!) I was in my 20's...He was taking drugs apparently, talking nonsense and threatened me with a pair of scissors one morning when the sister wasn't there. I ended up running outside, stopping some women on the street who then called the cops and took him. During the trial his sister came to me and said :"You left without saying goodbye, I hope we can stay friends..." 😐 the nerve!! All went well in the end but daaaamn!

[@TiffanieDavis]

OMG WOW! You've gone through all the things! What a nightmare, hoping you're in a much better living situation now!!

[@zedthemillennial6525]

Absolutely not funny, but the friends part made me laugh because I didn't see it coming. Hope you recovered from that experience

[@MrVikingsandra]

@@zedthemillennial6525 I didn't see it coming either, she said that as if nothing had happened. We were literally AT THE TRIAL and she knew her brother was messed up (it turned out he had done more crazy shit in the past) and didn't tell me. I looked at her thinking: "Are you for real?!?" 🤤

[@carlascalling]

Not a bad experience but def kind of crazy: my friend sneaking us into the X consulate in Paris (won't rat out the country) to eat a homecooked meal in his boss's apartment LOL. As for bad moments: walking an hour to do my first intv in French in the winter at a posh prep school cause of the month-long strikes, waking up too late on a Sunday so having literally nothing to eat (hardly any delivery options, restos closed, supermarkets closed), getting fined 50 euros at CDG for not having an airport transfer ticket (how would I know?? the train just keeps going??). After I got through security, I realized an hour after chilling w un croissant et un café that i was supposed to be at ORLY!!!! lolllll.... the list could go on and on but we still love Paris.

[@TiffanieDavis]

LOL omgosh! You've had quite the experience - wow I did not know about the 50 euro fine at CDG/airport transfer either, will take a mental note of this! Something similar happened to me in Belgium - my friends and I were at the wrong airport, missed our flight and had to pay for a new one!

[@albertacristie99]

Happy to see you post more ! Always a breeze for me, reminding me of the three awesome years I've spent there! Bottom line Paris will make you test your limit !! Lots of the things you've said in the video are natural instances in Paris... I would present it like '' Things you need to know before coming to live in Paris.... that is a big deal in the western world but another tuesday there'' I think the tolerance to those things are the ones that seperate the people that love Paris v.s the ones that don't :-D. And also, I would slow down on the use of the sound effect ( The cround reaction) because when its use too many time, it surely loses its effect.

I moved from NYC to Chicago in 2016 and thought it would be a fairly similar experience. Whew, was I wrong! Maybe because it was 2016 times were different than usual but the racism I experienced there was the worst & most violent I’ve ever experienced. Working in the “white” downtown area I was harassed so often by complete strangers on the train or out at restaurants. I was called the N word several times. At one restaurant a “gentleman” saw me, stood up from his table and screamed “f*** outta here you dirty n****!” Everyone in the restaurant heard him and did absolutely nothing about it. People threw things at me, purposely pushed rolling suitcases into me while I was just walking down the street... white women loved pushing me while I was waiting in lines at stores, then acting like they were deaf when I’d ask them to please be respectful. I eventually learned through talking to other Black people that this is very much how the culture of whiteness operates in the Midwest, and even though Chicago claims to be a modern, progressive city, it’s extremely segregated, redlined and racist. I’m glad I don’t live there anymore :)

Yeah, the midwest is not playing when it comes to that, but I'm so sorry to hear about that happening to you. I hate hearing stories like that.

I love your channel ! new subscriber here. Your video is goldmine for any person willing to come here : throw away your Emily in Paris vibes and listen to that lady please. Though I love my home city I have to say 100% of what you say is true. - Special mention to the dog poo, the habit I loathe the most in Paris. - Apartment hunt is mess especially if you don’t have a French guarantor, my American cousin went through the same hell. Tips for good value apartment hunting : you need to have ALL documents ready and with you on the day of the visit (job contract, tax fillings, payslip over a 4 month period, guarantor with the same info) so you can drop your application at the end of the visit. - As an ESSEC Alumni as well, I had to go through the annoyance of doing the Paris-Cergy commute for years (big up to my boi RER A) until I decided I had enough and decided to finish my Master’s in the UK. - Strikes : no comments lol - French Administration : no comments lol - 50 euros fine : haha ouch. To be honest agents are not that strict, however they sometimes enforce rules « à la gueule du client » aka depending on who they have in front of them. If you are French-speaking big thug-looking guy they might let you go but If you are a sweet foreign girl they might take avantage of that. But the opposite can apply. That’s the thing in France with administration, law enforcers etc…lots of rules, not really followed by the population, not really enforced, until they decide to do so and you end up with a fine.

I'm even seeing differences in living abroad as well. It's just having to learn the culture and adjusting to what you think you can handle, which can be hard at times.

LOL listennnn. That girl in the club was doing entirelyyyy too much! Yeah! I feel like when you step outside of you're home country your bound to experience something cray at some point - that bounce back muscle strong now!!

[@coffeebean_gina]

[@Yoedric]

Nice video ! But I still got one question : were you like "what is going on?" ?

[@MaDol867n]

Tiff, where is good place to stay for about two months in Paris?

[@TiffanieDavis]

I love Le Marais ;)

[@orlandocakegirls6308]

I thought you were going to say I just happened to wear YELLOW that day 😅

[@maellelabelle4742]

Hey, I have a question, do you pay both American and french taxes or how does that work? Tax return?

[@rochellemckinney3220]

[@iiAngelic]

Do. you still deal with the prefacture if you are a EU citizen?

[@2shejack]

More dog crap than in New York? I am always walking with my head down in Brooklyn to look out for poop. Are people fined? They should be.

[@LaurayePhoenix]

How often should I be putting out videos? Where do you get your video ideas? Your content is much more creative than ours.

[@kathleenbifulco8129]

Be careful tilting ur head back when filming...

Just signed up to receive your guidebook. I honestly was second guessing my answer to the math question 😂 it seemed too easy lol. Edit: Also your hair is looking gorgeous!

[@TiffanieDavis]

Lol!! It's only there as a security check, to make sure bots don't try and get on my email list haha

[@colabus1]

Watched quite a few of your vids and really like them but I have to say the sound effects on this one are really grating

[@TiffanieDavis]

Thanks for the love & for the feedback!

[@tracimegirl8279]

Nice video, but those pipe in audience noises....

[@TiffanieDavis]

Lolllll oops 🙈🙈🙈

[@tracimegirl8279]

I'm just one person, many may feel differently,

[@christine-my3gd]

I love them 😆

[@LaurayePhoenix]

😍 Enjoyed the video. We just began our own channel and would love any comments you give.

[@SouthernPeach46]

So let me get this straight… someone else’s boyfriend tried to get at you and she got mad, typical insecurities showing. Maybe that’s why i decided not to go live abroad there. Ole girl would’ve had a black eye. French or not, don’t put hands on me and i don’t touch you. 🤷🏾‍♀️👊🏾

[@Jasmin-fd3ny]

What is going on..... LOL
