Americans in Paris, Like, MTV-Style
Travel Blog • Michael Yessis • 06.04.03 | 3:01 PM ET
The new season of The Real World debuted last night on MTV, featuring the crazy, young, always dramatic and frequently intoxicated American kids living abroad—in Paris. Tuesday’s show included a couple of cast members arriving at a Paris airport, hollering in English at passing Parisians, asking for directions to a train into the city. They were, of course, largely ignored. (They’ve obviously been taking travel lessons from those Americans on “The Amazing Race” who scream at people, regardless of the country in which they find themselves, only in English.) Tuesday night’s show also featured obscure references to the job that cast members would be assigned while living in Paris: writing a new series of travel guides. God knows what this is about. But if you ever see any of these guides in a bookstore in future years, run. Or at the very least, skip the train directions.
