Paris is shown in a lot of media and has been awarded the title 'city of love'. Many people have goals of going to Paris and Eifel tower in person. Japanese people have reported a strange phenomenon called Paris syndrome. This is the feeling of disappointment and even depression that comes after Japanese people visit Paris and expectations are not met. People claim to feel disorientated and dizzy and often suffer from periods of depression after visiting Paris for the first time. This is because Paris is over romanticized and when Japanese actually go they are met with terrible smells from Paris streets and the disappointment that the Eifel tower is simply a stack of metal.
