At the asian-filled Louis Vuitton store in Champs Elysees
EK: is it this busy everyday?
Salesperson: yes, busy everyday.
EK: Crazy asians!
Salesperson swallows her smile
Yes, we are part of the crazy Asian movement!
On Rue du Faubourg
HM: excusez-moi, can you tell me where is the Aye-mess store?
French lady: pardon?
HM: the Aye-mess store? There is or around here?
French lady pauses, then asks, what is Aye-mess?
I type out H-E-R-M-E-S on my phone and show it to her.
French lady: Ah! Errk-mess! Oui, walk straight, there is one 10 minutes from here.
Now you know why I'll never make it on the socialite scene!
