RE: "Paris Syndrome"

As with most stereotype-based travel horror stories, there's usually only a little bit of truth and a whole lot of hype involved. Here, it sounds like the tourists are the nutjobs, I mean problems. I've never been to Paris, but my mom and sister have. They found Parisians to be friendly and helpful.

For whatever reason, it seems that many of these xenophobic stories reported here in the good old USA are courtesy of our paranoid friends over at Fox News, so this report really isn't surprising. I assume that their audience eats it up like Freedom Fries, so it must pay to seek out this sort of BS.
