I am a fan of the subway system. Very convenient. And I’ve gotten addicted to Sudokus, because we have 19 stops, including one transfer, to get to class. All the musicians who I’ve heard playing in the metro have been really top quality, although some of them are kind of creepy. When an accordion player saw us watching him as we walked by, he wiggled his eyebrows at us and walked a couple steps with us. And another guy who played some flute-y whistle thing like Peter Pan does, only way bigger, wolf-whistled at us with his instrument. Very creepy. But of course, all of the violinists have been normal.
Saturday night—early evening, too—there were a bunch of drunk soccer fans on the metro. I could tell they were soccer fans because they were singing (poorly) some chant and were playing soccer with a water bottle. And it was pretty easy to tell that they were drunk. Very entertaining.
The most serious drawback to the metro is the smell of urine. In fact, I saw a little girl going to the bathroom ON THE PLATFORM. Going to the bathroom without a bathroom! And her mom was right there! But at least that explains the smell.

Aren't you glad I piqued your interest in Sudokus? I'm so happy someone else is getting addicted to them, too!
ReplyDeleteP.S. My verification word is painification. Don't think it means anything, but funny in a bread-y sort of way anyway!
I CAN EXPLAIN THAT!!!! THE FRENCH HAVE ZERO BATHROOMS!!! AND ALL THE ONES THEY SUPPOSEDLY HAVE IN THE METRO STATIONS ARE ALWAYS CLOSED! AND SMALL CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMEN AND EVEN JUST YOUNG BEAUTIFUL LADIES OF THIRTY WHO HAVE HAD FOUR CHILDREN AND HAVE POOR BLADDER CONTROL NEED BATHROOMS!
ReplyDeleteNot that I did it. But I can TOTALLY understand.
And Jaren is doing cheese-tasting right now, and they smell exactly like the French metros. Sorry.
Also, your blog doesn't like me. This is the fourth comment I've tried to make.
