    Getting TO/AROUND: The service is fast and very efficient. I found that most of the clerks spoke English. The only thing is that the announcements are in French. Being that I knew a little I was able to decipher when they had to reroute a train. If you know a little bit of French and use a subway where you live then it is easy. I never took a taxi anywhere, there simply was no need to.

    The only difference with their train is that you have to open the door yourself. There is a sort of lock in the middle of the door that you just twist and it will open.

     You are so right about the Gypsies, and its EVEN worse in Rome!!

     Great start so far. I didnt really like the metro in Paris, though. Because all the gypsies that I saw - were on the trains!
