No, it ain’t a behavioral disorder where women starts walking around the streets without their underwear.

As much as I’d like that to happen, it ain’t it. It’s about the city of Paris silly. The very city depicted in movies as a very romantic place filled with very beautiful French women. Well, as far as this so-called ”Paris Syndrome” goes, that picture of the city is the exact opposite of what the Paris Syndrome shows. Confused? Read on.

Some Japanese tourists, probably spending this Christmas holiday season in the beautiful city of Paris, have fallen prey to what they are now calling, ”Paris Syndrome.” Yup, this is what these Asians are calling it after discovering that beautiful Paris ain’t so beautiful after all.

Apparently, some Parisians can be rude just like most of us too. As a result, these Japanese tourists ended up somewhat disappointed after having this almost perfect picture of this city. The experience can apparently be too stressful for some and they suffer a psychiatric breakdown.

Many of the visitors come with a deeply romantic vision of Paris, the cobbled streets, as seen in the film Amelie, the beauty of French women or the high culture and art at the Louvre.

The reality can come as a shock.

An encounter with a rude taxi driver, or a Parisian waiter who shouts at customers who cannot speak fluent French, might be laughed off by those from other Western cultures.

But for the Japanese, used to a more polite and helpful society in which voices are rarely raised in anger, the experience of their dream city turning into a nightmare can simply be too much. This year alone, the Japanese embassy in Paris has had to repatriate four people with a doctor or nurse on board the plane to help them get over the shock.

So much for this once ideal holiday vacation spot eh?
