http://tomscott.com - @tomscott - A few years ago, there were a lot of news reports about Paris Syndrome, an affliction that hit people whose ideas of Parisian delight were a long way from reality.

A correction to this video: tachycardia is accelerated heartbeat, not irregular. The video's also a very early one that, in hindsight, I'm not particularly proud of, but that's not technically a correction. All corrections can be found at https://www.tomscott.com/corrections/
