En route to Belgium
Belgium, France on September 16, 2008 at 6:25 am
Train came into Paris at 11:00 rather than 10:40. I tried to find a bus going in general direction because walking was now out of the question. Even considered metro for a third time; but yet again couldn't see where to buy tickets.
Rule of thumb; if you can't get on the train god knows where you'd get off.
So I hoped in a taxi but traffic was terrible. Traffic makes taxis stupid expensive.
Got to station at 12:02 on train by 12:05 leaves at 12:25 so all well there.
Guy next to me smells of French.
All that aside I want to note some things of interest to me before I leave France and have Belgium on the brain.
Saw a restaraunt in Paris named Indochine. I don't know if that translates to Indochina or Indochinese, but I thought that was hilarious.
Do you think it's french owned or…Indochinese? owned? French I suppose or atleast I hope because it makes the whole thing much funnier to me. It's probably only funny cause I'm American.
Oh history, just when I thought you let math have all the fun.
One thing I didn't get to see but tried to was this Giant Elephant in Nantes. I guess this 12 meter tall mechanical elephant brings 45 people around the town.
The hotel guy showed me a picture imagine the elephants from lord of the rings but real and really awesome.
AND I missed snoop dog by 1 day. First the Pope now Snoop!
