I Take Public Transportation

Paris is a beautiful city with tons of spectacularly amazing architecture, but getting around this place can be quite challenging!😟 Especially if you're someone like me who hails from a place in the States which has no public transportation whatsoever.😕 We drive everywhere where I'm from, and while I'm very grateful for the break from driving--I have absolutely zero frame of reference for navigating around trains and subways.😞 The underground here is both a blessing and a curse simultaneously!😅 It's definitely convenient for getting around and also for being environmentally friendly by keeping probably jillions of cars off the roads.👍 But omg trying to figure out how to get to where you want to go can be daunting and overwhelming!😬 Especially when you have to change trains.😣 And the smells are assaulting, the germs are rampant, it's extremely grimy, and if you're claustrophobic you might as well just forget about it because sometimes you're packed on there like sardines!!🙄 I'm sure there's a part of me that will probably miss it when I'm back home fighting the insane traffic and all the crazy ass drivers again.😑 But then again I won't miss getting myself lost trying to make it from point A to B with about 3 different points in between on the
equivalent of a spaghetti model.😬
I could not imagine 🙂 I'd probably flip out

Cool story. When you get to experience something really different like that, it changes you.

I thought that the Paris Metro was awesome! Scary, but awesome. It IS the secret to getting around in Paris...
Bean17 · 46-50, F
No doubt! I finally got the hang of it—right when it was time to go home😅.@walabby

ever ride the New York City subway...I worked there on those trains for a few years
Bean17 · 46-50, F
No, never. Honestly these are the first subways I've ever been on before in my life.😕@SagePoet

passez une belle journée, belle dame!
I visited Paris when I was 19 and coming from SF with BART and Muni was probably a bit more comfortable with that aspect. Are you having a good visit otherwise ?
Bean17 · 46-50, F
Yes, I'm having a wonderful visit! Thank you.😊@bijouxbroussard

P.S. My daughter who I'm here visiting is 19 also.😌@bijouxbroussard
Lol, it's not half as confusing as the London Underground.
