Fantastic Pharmacy Fun

One thing that you can always find in Paris is a pharmacie. Any time that you’re out walking around in the streets, just take a look around you & no doubt you will see the neon green cross that will guide your way toward the salvation that only prescription medicine, band aids & medicated ointments can provide.

Naturally, once you get inside, it’s a bit smaller than most American drug stores & it’s all business in there.

Perhaps you’re thinking, “Well, of course it’s all business…it’s a damn pharmacy. What else would you do in there?”

Well, here’s the thing: at some American drug stores, say…like a Walgreen’s, there is a lot more to do inside. You don’t even have to need any prescription medication, band aids or medicated ointments to have a good time in there. Really, you don’t even have to buy anything. Just peruse the aisles for something ridiculous – which you will have no problem finding – & have a ball.

Then again, that’s probably enough to make a guy wanna puke.

While it’s true that a pharmacie here in Paris is always able to provide you with good advice & the employees are well-trained enough to give whatever is that you need for what ails you, they just don’t have those 75% off after Christmas sales where they practically give away all of that candy & wrapping paper so that they can get all of the Valentine’s Day candy up on the shelves right after New Year’s.

Yeah, it’s ridiculous, but each time that I make it back to the states, I have to make a trip to Walgreen’s so that I can stock up on things that I can’t find here in Paris.

The most important thing is to make it back here to a French pharmacie before I get sick.
