Reading in Palais Royal Paris with Perfect Weather

My name is Jay Swanson - I'm an American writer living in Paris on an artist visa and hoping to make the city of light my home base - at least for the foreseeable future. I write science-fiction and fantasy, vlog daily, and love pizza a little too much.

FAQ:
How long have you lived in France? On and off for over two years.

What do you miss most about ho- NACHOS

Where are you from originally? - Pullman, Washington - a small university/agricultural town near Idaho (and yes, the potatoes are amazing).

What do you edit with? - Adobe Premiere - it's pretty much all I've ever used since high school.

Aren't you ever freaked out by leaving your camera behind to film yourself? - Yep. But not too badly - I tend to be careful when I do.

Do you make money off YouTube? - Ha, no. I wish. It took me over 500 videos to make my first $100 off adsense. I think it will slowly change, but VERY slowly.

Looking forward to my postcard. I’m currently in Paris enjoying this incredible weather. Wow, it’s been wonderful for photography!

Jay! I'm currently visiting Paris from Canada with my girlfriend. We walked through that same area today. It was spectacular. Some past vlogs of yours have helped make it easier to traverse the city and communicate with locals, so thank you for that.

Thanks for all the videos Jay! I have been lurking on them for quite sometime now to pick up some local Parisian wisdom, and hear your story. I will be in Paris the 1st week of November, maybe I will see you filming! Take care!

Japantown in Paris seems very interesting. We will have to visit it next time we are in Paris! Another great find by Jay!
And I can’t wait for my postcard!

The postcards are all good. Won't be disappointed to find one in my mail box.

Hey, good to see that stopping to take the "Let's Summer" picture turned out to be productive! Hope you're doing well, Jay.

Beautiful Palais Royal, I still need to pick up a few invaders around there ;-)

Magnifique vidéo, Jay ! merci, je m'en vais allez faire un tour au Palais royal grâce à ta vidéo. Salut !

Haha, your Vlog a day today reminds me of Officer layhey from the Trailor park boys.. Nice video today

Where was that fountain and park today ? Yesterday :)

Seems like that perfect weather was blown a bit northwest too - it was 19 degrees yesterday. Today, we're back to the scottish norm though: grey, cold and wet! :D

Good to see Natasha being the ambassador for new foods again. But from your reaction, you didn't seem to like the Japanese pork curry bun, man I love those buns, they were my goto snack when I was in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya. As long as there's no fishy taste to Japanese pastries, I'm all for them, their bakeries are amazing.

Where did you get the flash invader sticker on your laptop?

Hi Jay, I've heard that getting a parcel delivered in France can be a pain in the butt. Has that been your experience?

[lexicondevil]

So if I’m catching what you’re saying, you have at least the number of Patreons as you do postcards... that’s a lot of Patreons, congratulations Mr Swanson! I fall under the $5 Patreon, I can’t wait to receive my second postcard !

I had the same reaction with Movable Feast. And I am a HUGE fan of Hemingway; Sun Also Rises, Farewell to Arms, Old Man and the Sea, and several short stories, all awesome. This one took a while to read and grow on me. Perhaps because he wrote it later in life? Perhaps because he never finished it and others did it for him? I'd like to read it again, I think, to give it another chance. Maybe he was only great in my 20+ year old mind. I hope not. I have others I need to read. :)

JAY, cheaper than getting a waffle and less germs as well - why do those young ladies touch the waffles with hands that have just handled a lot of money…….couldn't help noticing. No names, no pack drill.
