Most Japanese people regard Paris as a city of romance, warm-hearted, warm and very friendly so love this city has always been a major travel destination. Unfortunately when arrived at Paris, the shadow was not as expected, as a result every year many Japanese tourists hit Paris Syndrome.

Paris syndrome first appeared in a publication in the journal Nervure psychiatry in 2004. At that time, dozens of Japanese tourists returning from Paris with symptoms of shock or suffered mental shock.

Symptoms exactly like the loss of memory, such as delirium and claiming to be King of the Sun or the reincarnation of King Louis XIV. A female patient admitted even hysterical and attacked by someone with a microwave when in fact no nothing.
