Je suis arrivée

Have finally touched down in Paris after having survived a couple of miserable plane trips. When I get here, my landlord decides to act like the stereotypical Parisienne, not letting me have the flat until I pay her the full amount for the month's rent plus all the bond. We had already paid her half the rent and I could pay the full amount for bond, only reason I could not give her the rest was because the money that I transferred over specifically to pay her the remaining 600 euros had not arrived. Even through our communication she never stated that she needed the full amount upfront; rather, she had told me that she preferred it so that she would not have to come the next day (since I asked if my roommate could pay her the rest when she arrives the following day). I even offered to wire the remaining money into her account so that she would not have to make another trip. But no, she gave me her best bitch face and flatly refused. People had warned me about Parisians, including other Parisians, but I always thought that they were just misunderstood. Let's hope the other people of this fair city are not all like Bitchface Landlady. /RANT
