I nearly got "hit" on the infamous metro line 1. . A group of young girls pushed on with me. I didn't pay much attention as I have my major valuables under my clothes and I hold my purse close to me -- but these little hands managed to get the top zipper half open before I sensed something and pulled away. They wouldn't have gotten much at all, but it was a jolt to have been "hit".

Recent visitors to Paris will note the appearance of these "in case of emergency break glass" things. They are to meet a very specific need. The rough translation is "In case of someone falling on the track" -- what happens if you pull the handle inside is that it stops the power to the third rail for that side of the platform. It continues "and in this case alone ... all abuse will be punished" . I asked a friend of mine resident in Paris what was up and he said that there are often train stoppages from people committing suicide on the tracks, so these were installed.

Bravo, simply. One comment: Smoking in Paris (and in France) is strictly not allowed till more thant 1 year, in all public areas (station, bar, night-club, restaurants...). The only exception is in dedicate open air areas. | footstool Fri Jan 23, 2009 12:50 UTC
