What exactly is an inseptical neophyte?

I know what a neophyte is - a newbie. . someone who is being initiated into some group, forum, etc.

I have no idea what inseptical means. . .

I've been to Paris and loved it,

You hear all the time that people in Paris are very rude but I didn't find that at all (though I did see it happen to some American's but they deserved it, basically expecting everyone to speak english to them and where abusive when they didn't)

Very nice place but wouldn't want to live there (too expensive!)


Euro Disney was a good day out also (don't know what it was about me but I was always being called to the front of queue's cheesy)

Cool i schooled in Paris for 3 yrs. Paris is a great city and Parisians (i didnt say French) are great charming and kind people. There are a great many places to see and visit.
Paris might be expensive but there are places for everything that anyone can afford depending on da size of ur pocket.

Paris, la cite de mes reves!!!!!!!!!!

English people are pompous, they will never allow French Authority to be at Waterloo but ironically there is UK post at Paris Nord.Note French immigration officers are always uniformed, hardly speak in english.
Lets go back to the topic jare. 
 

The British/French Govts operate what they call Juxtapose Border controls whereby UK Immigration officers check all Rail/Sea Port entries into UK from France and the French Immigration officers check the same routes (that includes Waterloo )into France from UK.

Who said that French immigration officers don't speak English ? The average French immigration officer speaks at least an additional language, thats why they get paid langauage allowances in addtion to their salary,the same applies too to UK immigration officers

Mais ton francais c´est de la honte, je te conseille de retourner à l´école pour l´apprendre mieux ou demande à ta mère qui est Francaise de le parler plus avec toi! wink

eff Paris. There is not a single city in the WORLD that can compete head to head with Dubai. In 10 years Dubai will surpass cities like NYC and Paris in EVERYTHING! This city is very fresh and with all the money pouring in, the skyline will be one of if not the biggest in the world. Let's put things in persepective first:

Construction for Al Burj begins in June. Height was projected at 1600 meters but I'm not sure how tall it will be, either way, it will be the world's tallest, surpassing Burj Dubai which isn't even complete yet!!!!!! lol
And I thought this was a REALLY cool pic! It shows The Palm and Burj Al Arab Hotel.

Re: Who has been to France, precisely Paris? by ivgotfleas(m): 4:10pm On Apr 17, 2007
Lets take a look at the apartments and waterfronts:


Underwater hotel


Sports City


Gold Dome


Indoor Skiing ( IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT!!!!)


Dubai is by far the hottest city in the history of the world

Check this chiiit out

Re: Who has been to France, precisely Paris? by ivgotfleas(m): 4:24pm On Apr 17, 2007
Heres a view of The Palm w/ the waterfront Skyline.


What's really cool about Dubai, UAE is the fact that it contains 15% of the world's tower cranes.

If any of you are interested in dinosaurs, they are currently building a theme park called "Dubailand" and it has real life size dinosaurs that will roam the park! Fvckn awesome!

I have been to Paris, very expensive.

Travelled via plane and train (eurostar)

For shopping I went to Republican, not too sure about the spelling.

But will never live in france, I rather live in Naija.

Paris is easily the most romantic city in Europe.

It is charming, chic and with world famous restuarants:

L' Arpège

L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon

Pierre Gagnaire

Alain Ducasse

i love the lord's chosen charismatic revival ministries. what god is using that man of god (pastor lazarus muoka) to do is misterious.god is indeed the god of the chosen. why pastor lazarus muoka is pulling crowd is because of the holiness he preaches. and god was with him. if anyone cares, let him or her visit the lord's chosen and find what i am saying. a trial will convince you. god bless us.

I spent my honeymoon in Paris in '07, and was there again in February '09, passing through on my way to Barcelona. Spent a night.
We stayed at the Berne Opera in the 8th Arrondissment, not far from the Opera and the Galleries Lafayette (Hausmann Boulevard).
Visited everywhere basically, including the Eiffel, Champs Elysees, the Louvre, Notre Dame, and Euro Disney. There is one ride at that EuroDisney that can give you a heart attack!! The space rocket thingy.
Paris is a cool city, not so expensive, comparable with most of the Eurozone. Shopped at la Valle Village, one stop before Eurodisney. Wasn't too bad, really.
We plan to visit again for a second honeymoon sometime in the future.

I spent my honeymoon in Paris, in '07. We stayed in a small hotel very close to the Arc De Triomphe - Charles De Gaulle Etoile, metro stop Rome (Rue de Rome). A stroll to the Champs Elysses. Heavenly, man!
Was a short walk to the Opera and Hausmann Boulevard, home of the Galleries Lafayette. Trust Madam, we damaged lots of euros in that mall grin

Visited just about everywhere there was to visit in Paris, except the old Bastille. Was at the Louvre (we spent a whole day there), the Musee D'Orsay, La Defense, the Natural History Museum (I forget the name now, but it's very close to Gare Du Nord), Eiffel Tower twice, La Defense, and of course Eurodisney and that designer village just before EuroDisney, La Vallee Village.

Was an awesome experience for me and the missus cool
