There’s a phenomenon called the "Paris syndrome" which mostly affects Japanese tourists who are visiting Paris for the first time. It is caused by the disparity between the Paris shown in Japanese media and the real Paris. Symptoms include hallucinations, delusions, and feelings of persecution. There is even a 24-hour helpline run by the Japanese embassy in Paris to help these tourists.
