Paris - The city of love...
was where she decided to tell me that we worked better as friends.
'worked better?!'. 'friends?!'. yeah, I was really glad I'd just paid for this holiday. Then discovered I'm not too great with man made heights, whilst half way up the eiffel tower. Then got flashed by a man wearing nothing but a sock. Then came home.

Well, at least something happened.
Would have been terrible had you just gone to Paris and that was it.

Paris syndrome
It's essentially Japanese sensibilities and romantic expectation clashing with the awful reality of Paris and how horrible French people are.

Took the family to Paris
I was aware of Paris syndrome so prepared myself and actually enjoyed it for what it was (never made it to the tower, slight miscalculation in the walking plans. Got within sight of it though).

My daughter, on the other hand, now hates the French and wants to drop a bomb on the place.

So not a total loss.
