paris day two = scamed and ripped off = does paris hate me?

we headed out early day two to the montemare district and went first to the sacre cour we walked up what felt like a million steps and explored and enjoyed the beautiful views across all of Paris, next to the various museums in the area and the square that host all the portrait painters some good some my cat could do better. as we headed back down from sacre cour we saw some men heading towards us asking us to do a magic trick with string = having gotten the gist of scams in Rome we turned the other direction saying no Merci non Merci , one followed us insisting we try his magic trick , we continued to refuse and walked briskly away from him unfortunately another of his friends came from this direction and they cornered us insisting we try their magic trick and grabbing our hands, they then made crappy woven bracelet things on our hands and tried to charge us 10 euros 30nz dollars for them , we refused saying we never wanted them and had said so several times , they insisted on a donation and we quite scary and force full so we tried to pay them 2 euros but they we so close to us peering into our wallets that they pointed to another euro and insisted we had plenty for a 'donation'. so we ended up paying 3 euros each $9 nz for the sort of thing u make in primary school, no a pleasant experience , i believe Paris hates me. angry at being ripped of we headed into montemares red light district in hunt of the moulin rouge which is not the beautiful theatre seen in the movie unfortunately, the day was freezing and appeared that little was going right for us. we headed to the Arc De Triompe that symbolises Napoleons victory somewhere, as we are in Europe for longer things begin to look more and more the same and the neo classical buildings in Paris are somewhat disappointing after Rome. Paris has its unexpected delights though i am not entirely pessimistic , there are musicians = buskers in the trains that are very talented and it makes using the metro allot more pleasant, i am highly complemented that Parisians or at least french people keep asking me for directions in french , i believe this means i look Parisian yay;
we strolled down the cities most expensive boulevard and back to the concord and Madeline, we attempted to save and make dinner from teh supermarket so bought bread salami and tomato. disaster ensued. we have paper plates and a suitcase as a table. the meal was crude with badly cut plastic knife hacked tomato and dry bread, hilarity, we have a photo, to make up for this a defeating the purpose of trying to save we went and bought cake = lili tiramisu and me flan = like custard. its yum. we woke up at 5am next morning to go to Brussels
