Jet Lag Tips

Posted on August 7, 2023 Updated on August 7, 2023

Never eat anything on the plane, eat at appointed times at the destination
Decline the Airline Breakfast
Take at Short One Hour Nap upon arrival, then Get Up
Go out and walk in the sunshine
We prefer to arrive in the morning as early as possible, but the best advice is to arrive in the afternoon
Stop drinking caffine three days before departure, then resume upon reaching destination
Drink no alcohol on plane, only water, get up and walk on plane
“Sleep on Plane” (how is that possible and how can you resist the wonderful selection of movies?)

Cinémathèque Française

La Cinémathèque française

Someone referred to Cinémathèque Française on the BBC and how they viewed classic cinema there
For me, Cinémathèque Française continues to be confusing
I visited there in Bercy, visited the Museum (which I considered inferior to the Cinema Museum in Berlin)
And when I explored the facility further, I was confused. As happens frequently in Paris, I was lost. I was looking for film archives, a library, a viewing theater and could not find anything.
Today, when I visit online, I fail to find any schedule of viewing
There was an extensive exhibit of early cameras, it appeared complete, but there was not much more
As I say, maybe I was lost, maybe I was missing something – I will continue to investigate
Am I missing something?
