When you park your car in Paris...

何年か前に初めてパリに来た時にまず驚いたのが、路上駐車されている車と車の間隔です。
『どうやって出るんやろか。。』って思ってたら、案の定『ゴツッ、ゴツッ、ゴツッ』って感じで前後にまんべんなくブツけながら出て行ったのを観て驚きました。『あ〜、バンパーってそのためにあるのか!』って思いました。当てるためにあるんですよ、多分。
車がステータスシンボルとされている日本ではあり得ない話じゃないかと思うんですが。。。友人の話ではシャンゼリゼ通りに止めてあったフェラーリも容赦無くぶつけられていたそうです。凄い。フランス人凄い。恐るべし。

When i came to Paris fist time some years ago, i was surprised to see the way they park their car on the street. I thought the distance between each cars was too close..
i thought "How do they get out..?", then just as I expected, he hit the car in front and at the back little bit at the time when he went out.  Then I knew why we need crumple zone for our cars!  To hit! .. I think...
In Japan, cars are one of the status symbol for people. I think this hardly happen in my country.
My friend told me that one day a Ferrari was hit by another car on Champs-Elysees street.... Great. French people are GREAT.
