I’ve seen it argued on other expat blogs whether or not BA should be compared to Paris… To me it does indeed have a Parisian flavor to it. There are many fine examples of French architecure, but it certainly doesn’t have the architectual splendor of Paris… So, I’ll leave it at that for the moment and I’ll post as many picures as I can in this blog to let you draw your own conclusions… Also, check out this website with many very nice photos of BA: http://baires.multiply.com/
