Back from Paris... Let this be the end of the story

Rap 'not cause of French riots'

France
The French Prime Minister, Dominique de Villepin, has dismissed claims by some of his party colleagues that rap music fuelled suburban rioting in France.


Spent a week in Paris, saw no evidence of the unrest. It was sort of like Disneyland in there, totally insulated from whatever reality that was going on outside. By the time I got there most of the action had died down and there was nothing within the center of the city to indicate that there had been any uprising at all. In fact, Paris was wonderful! I sometimes feel a little guilty for enjoying Europe as much as I do, but then I just get over it and have fun.
