The Difference Between Paris and Mumbai

A couple of weeks ago, the Times ran this article from their Paris Bureau Chief giving 8 Pieces of Advice about living in Paris.  It ran with the picture above, and included the choice tidbit "Make friends with a good butcher," along with a charming description of Monsieur Yvon.  

My butcher in Mumbai is named Tyrone.  He has eight fingers, a cleaver that looks like it was forged over a campfire, and a shirt that says "For Good Luck, Rub My Belly."  I snapped this as he was mauling a contraband tenderloin for me.   Other than that, it's just like Paris.
