Reminded me of the song of The Beatles, "I, Me, Mine" 

Interesting blog. Humans seem to want to leave their mark everywhere they go.

During a recent weekend in Paris, I noticed how many padlocks couples had attached everywhere in the city. On historic bridges, monuments, fountains… And for the first time, I was really bothered by it. It felt as though something in the city was being tainted. Some thirty years ago, there were hardly any padlocks to be found, save on bicycles.

So what has changed in the meantime that has made this fad unavoidable in almost every part of the City of Love visited by tourists?
