Paris metro

The craziest thing is that the thing I remember and miss the most about Paris is their wonderful metro system. I travel on it so much when I am here that the sights, sounds and smells get under your skin.

Part of the sights are the ads on the walls and corridors. Galeries Lafayette always has some of the most interesting/artsy ads.

Cellphones (les portables) also seem to work on the metro and yesterday on the TGV. Unlike London and Vancouver the people of Paris respect people around them and do not talk incessantly nor loudly. They make or take a call and say they'll phone the person back. On the TGV there are stickers reminding the passengers that others maybe sleeping and not to use their cellular phones.
