If you’re around college age and don’t spend a few weeks backpacking around europe staying in youth hostels, you’re doing it wrong.
I took a month off after a break up and met girls from florida, michigan, and mexico city. I’d meet them in hostels. I'd meet girls on the trains between cities, and we’d go stay some place together. We’d tour the city together.

Youth. Don’t waste it.

Once upon a time, I lost my insulin and syringes in paris on my way to cannes when on vacation. I discovered this around dinnertime with a week left on my vacation. I was in trouble. I had no prescription on me.
I explained my predicament to the hotel concierge, and they explained how my problem could be resolved.
1. Take a taxi to the hospital. Concierge called the taxi.
2. Taxi dropped me off at the hospital where I explained my situation to a nurse who didn’t speak english, and I didn’t speak french. Someone in the waiting room acted as the translator. Nurse wrote me a prescription without any hassle. Just took my word (translated) for it.
3. A security guy at the hospital called me a taxi to go to the police station. Since it was after hours, the police were the only people authorized to access a pharmacy.
4. I went to the police station and explain my predicament. The cop called the pharmacy and called a taxi for me.
5. Taxi took me to the pharmacy and opened it just for me and sold me my two types of insulin.
6. I walked went to dinner astounded that this entire process took less time than my normal visit to my endocrinologist.
Charge for hospital to write me a prescription = $0
Charge for cop to call the pharmacy = $0
charge for pharmacy to sell me my two types of insulin = $10
Anyone complaining about the french model or french service is a fool.
