Welcome to my world! My name's Nik, and I'm a British expatriate who has been living in Paris, France for the last five years. Even though I never planned to stay in Paris for very long, now I'm here I've no plans to leave soon - the beauty of Paris has never worn off, and so far it's been a five year long vacation! Enjoy my ramblings...

Professional gamers

Here's a surprising story about professional sports. Apparently a professional tennis player has switched to professional video game playing since it's easier to make a living!

He describes the world of tennis as being extremely top heavy when it comes to the sponsors and rewards of playing, so that only the top few can actually make any money (or a living even). In comparison, professional video gamers can find sponsors easily even if the top prizes are smaller.

It's probably interesting that the tennis player was British, which only goes to enforce the image that British tennis is still woefully undersupported...
