Paris Syndrome

Postcard from Germany

This is a “Wortschatz-Postkarte” (vocabulary postcard) defining the Japanese term “Pari shokogun”. The term refers to “Paris syndrome, a psychological condition experienced by tourists-particularly Japanese visitors-upon realizing Paris does not match their idealized
expectations. It is described on the card as a Japanese noun representing an
“unpleasant feeling due to a difference between expectation and reality”.
