Paris, though, is kinda like it's own country. It's overwhelming simply because it's such a big city. You might need a move in-depth survival guide if you plan to go there, especially if you plan to go alone.

No, the language isn't the problem, I know enough to survive, nor is the place, i've been there several times in my life, what I am scared of...
Is how i'm going to explain to my father why I boarded a chunnel to France instead of attending five paid-for football game tickets that he gave to me.
That and yeah, i'm going alone, I need a friend sometimes, lol.
Edit: Looking like an idiot isn't a problem, due to my mother's roots I am 50% French-born and have been raised around the sound of spoken French.
