Paris syndrome is a form of culture shock experienced by Japanese tourists who come to Paris. I think it's because the Japanese have a vision of what they think Paris will be like and then when they arrive, it's not the same as that.

It's basically, as you said, a disparity between what they expect and what it's really like.
This episode is all about the relationship between language, successful communication, stand-up comedy and learning English! It features an interview with the one-and-only Yacine Belhousse, who is a professional stand-up comedian in his native language and now in English too. A year and a half ago, Yacine hardly spoke any English. Now he regularly performs in English and this year he is doing a 1 hour stand-up comedy show at the Edinburgh fringe festival. How does he do it? How does he deal with the challenges of learning English while also making people laugh in English too? Listen and find out! Click here for more information:
