Magnet Sabrina

I met a very attractive Italian woman named Sabrina in a youth hostel in Paris. When she entered the room that I shared with other tourists, I was alone and preparing for going out to a museum. I couldn’t believe she was a backpacker, because she was tall, slim, good looking, blonde and wearing a tight long dress. She looked like a supermodel.
After introducing to each other, we made an appointment to go out for dinner later in the evening.

She was waiting for me when I went back to the youth hostel in the afternoon. We decided to go to the French Quarter for dinner and see a live music show.

Once we got out of the youth hostel, I felt we all got attention from men on the street.
Some of them stopped to watch her. When we got to the subway and opened the metro map to find the direction, a few men were willing to help us find the direction even though we didn’t ask. It had never happened to me before, so I felt very strange. Suddenly people were nice to me thanks to her.

Not long after walking around the French Quarter, a man from a restaurant offered us to come in and just stay there. He said, “I’d like to invite you ladies, you don’t need to pay anything, we are going to serve you dinner and wine.” Sabrina looked at me. I said, “Sure, let’s go in”. Waiters were so excited that they threw plates to the corner of the restaurant and broke them, and the pieces of the broken plates were being piled up in the corner of the restaurant. I realized they used us as a medium of attracting other customers. People kept coming in to the restaurant while we were having a good time.

When we finished our meals, we thanked them and got out. After we walked only a few meters of the alley, we were offered the same proposal.
“Come in, Ladies, you will have free wine!”

    Sebastien, all your pictures and your art work are brilliant!
    I’m sure other readers will feel the same way.

    I went to Europe in 2000, long time ago. It was a 1 month trip starting from Azores, Portugal, Spain,France, and Switzerland.
    Even though I went many countries, I didn’t have enough time to see much in a month.

    I will post some of them later when i need for my blog story.

    Chao!

    That’s an amazing story. I never heard of anything like happening before. I sure your own beauty helped make it happen. :) It’s the sort of thing you might see in a movie. I didn’t realize you had been to europe. You should show us some pictures. I went to France a few years ago, some of the pictures are on my flickr site.
