Métro & Trains: Backpackers in the metro

  • Actually this is more of a rant than a warning.

    Please be careful of any person wearing a backpack on the metro at rush hour. They seem to be unaware that their volume has doubled.

    Just this past Friday I narrowly missed being hit in the head by an individual who decided to take off his back pack in a crowded train.

    Same goes for people who board with baby strollers. The things do fold up but of course they must rush in and runover toes.

    Oh, the joys of public transport.

    Warnings Or Dangers: No jungle cruise at Disneyland Paris

  • I went to this Disneyland hoping to experience the wonderful jungle cruise that I did when I was 10 and went to California for the first time.

    What a disappointment to discover that there is none. An unforgiveable omission. So for those of you whose favorite ride is the Jungle cruise, be forewarned.

    Warnings Or Dangers: Don't worry it's not an air raid

  • On the first Wednesday of every month at noon all sorts of sirens go off. I am reminded of this because today is Wednesday 2 November. Don't bother to duck and cover, it is just a test and you can go about your business.

     Lovely look at your hometown, Emily. Loved the restaurant tips, and the Ag Fair sounds interesting as well... sausagemakers, winemakers, cheesemakers. Merci. :)

     What wonderful photos of Paris! What a wonderful view to have when you wake up. You were featured on the VT home page when I logged in, and I'm glad I stopped by to see what you had.

     I love your Paris pages. I used to live in Belleville when I was studying French more than 20 yrs ago. Your page brought back old memories:-D

     Paris VT pages are always enjoyable, you're fortunate to live there. Now you have posed a problem for me: to next visit during the Agricultural Fair or the Salon du Chocolat! :))
