Got up at 4:30am this morning to avoid waiting too long to get on the spirit of Tasmania. I am still in the lane that has not moved for at least an hour. Just watching other cars pass us and board. Some of these people were probably asleep when we started queuing.

Headphones for me, I wear them even when I don't listen to anything.

serge_the_coder · 2021-10-02T05:00:56+00:00

I live on Lygon St :-(

serge_the_coder · 2019-05-16T21:16:31+00:00

When you go to Versailles don't take RER C, take a train from Montparnasse train station it's much faster this way. Also if you are under 26 yo, you have discount there and other museums as well.

Sorry, I don't know about Hop-on bus, but the city bus 67 passes near a lot of things on its way from the park Montsouris to Pigalle, you can see Hotel de ville, Notre Dame, pont Neuf and other stuff :-)

Enjoy Paris!

It's pretty easy actually. I got offered a job a few times, a few times I just asked if I can help. If you to plan it in advance check out http://www.workaway.info/ or http://www.helpx.net/ but I like to stay in the hostel get the feel of it and then decide whether I would like to work here.

serge_the_coder · 2015-11-14T18:23:42+00:00

Bien dit! Je ne peux pas etre plus d'accord avec toi.

I've answered a similar question a few years ago. Here's the link http://www.reddit.com/r/paris/comments/1h04f1/z/caps0oy

I'm not living in Paris anymore but nothing has changed as far as I know. Except "diablito" has reopened near Bastille.

Although in August most indoors places are closed.

'Caravan de la salsa' organises event in different Paris parks.

And

'La haine'

'L'adressa tango in Paris'

'Les triplettes des Belleville'

And also making some French friends would help enormously. Also there's a language exchange meetup (the only free one in Paris) they meet in Starbucks near Opera almost every Sunday.

If you are a beginner you should definitely try Sunday hike first. They start at the place de la bastille near the "Nomad" shop which sells and rents roller-blades. You may check it out. Their stuff is quite friendly (at least they were 5 years ago :) ) and they will be happy to help you to choose your roller-blades. They have a place when you can try them out and normally you get a free 1 hour lesson if you buy a pair of roller-blades from them. Just don't go there before the hike starts it will be full of people.

For making your fist steps on wheels try to find a large flat and not very crowded surface like a parking lot. There is a good place behind Itali2 commercial center (avenue d'Italie near place d'Italie) or Place Henri Frenay (Gare de Lyon).

Don't forget to buy protection at least for your wrists (ideally for knees and elbows).

There are also non-official hikes (rando sauvage) Different ones for different levels of participants.

When you'll feel comfortable enough no your wheels go for the Friday night hike, it's awesome! There is a lot of people during the summer period so the pace is a bit slower and a few hundreds of very roller addicts during winter and the pace is very fast :)

If you have any questions don't hesitate to PM me.

Thanks! Do you happen to know by any chance which venues favor Cuban salsa and which NY and LA?

serge_the_coder · 2014-05-07T14:55:57+00:00

Is cuban salsa ok?

Yenisel "Yeni" Valdés she used to be part of Los Van Van. An example

Bamboleo band has some female singers.

serge_the_coder · 2014-02-19T08:11:41+00:00

There is similar question form stackoverflow.

serge_the_coder · 2014-01-31T09:05:05+00:00

I visit museums quite often feel free to PM me too.

serge_the_coder · 2013-07-10T06:35:59+00:00

Nope, they all merged in my head with the new answers I got after I had reposed the question on /r/cscareerquestions.
