The not so beautiful side of Paris...

I love Paris so far and think it is a gorgeous city, but there are a few not so great things that I have noticed about it so far:

1) PIGEONS... they are everywhere! I've had a few near run-ins and it has not been pleasant.
2) There are a lot of people with dogs here that don't clean up after them.
3) There are a lot of homeless people; on the streets, in the metro stations, on the metro itself. I'm also surprised by the number of women that are homeless because that is not as common in Toronto, some of them even have kids with them which is really sad. A lot of homeless people here also have dogs.
4) SIRENS... there are constantly police cars/ambulances/fire trucks blaring there sirens on the streets. They are really loud, probably because the traffic here is so crazy so that's what they have to do to make sure that people get out of their way.
