The metro, a curse and blessing
Métro Review
Two things about the metro,
Firstly:
You can buy wonderful posters down in the metro from foriegn vendors. They are trying to eak out a living, and they sell their goods for cheap. I always gave them a little extra because I thought it was too cheap.
Secondly:
For me being trapped underground with unfriendly Parisians was horrible. The energy on the metro is brutal. My tip, try to take the busses above ground whenever you can, you see more of the city and you have a pleasent place to rest your eyes rather than the sour traveler sitting across from you.
Mode: AROUND
Type: Subway/Metro
