Paris has to be the home of the most chocolaty, delicious, fresh, hot chocolate in the world. This cup of warm, melted chocolate is so rich in flavor and in texture. When presented with this cup of chocolat chaud I immediately saw the difference. On a little white plate I was given the tiniest spoon I had ever seen, a cube of sugar and a cup of what looked like melted Hershey Kisses.
When I dipped my spoon in the cub to mix the cube of sugar that was given to me in it, the chocolate stuck onto the spoon, that is how I knew this was the real stuff, and not the fake powdered sugar hot chocolate that I usually make at home. The man who gave me the cup of chocolat chaud was very friendly. He spoke pretty good english, which amazed me. I am always so amazed by people that speak better english then me even though it is their second language. They take the time to make sure they are using proper grammar, where as I might use some slang because english is my first language. Everyone in Paris seemed to be always sitting outside smoking a cigarette, drinking a beer or a cup of coffee at a cafe at least once in their day. In order to fully immerse myself into the culture I thought it was only right to sit outside at a cafe, drink a cup of hot chocolate, talk to a friend and watch the people walk by. There is something very calming about jut sitting and watching people walk by, it is something I don't get to do at home very often. Sitting outside the cafe was an amazing experience, I tried to do it as much as I could and each time I tried to have something different off the menu, in terms of drinks and dessert.
