For all of you out there who haven't heard about the French transportation strike...it sucks! I feel for the guys who's pensions are being reduced and their retirement age lengthened, really i do! And I don't much like Sarko either...but i'm sick of going into the metro and it looking like the pictures below! Living in the northern part of Paris (18eme) and working in the southern part (15eme) is getting harder and harder(yesterday I had to walk to babysitting and it took 2hrs for me to walk there only to babysit for 1.5hr!)...all i want is for the ligne 12 to work...is that too much to ask?!?
Commuters at Gare du Nord (i didn't take this picture...but i could have, i've seen this sort of thing too many times now)
This is what it looks like when I try to get on the metro! Today i was crushed, but at least this time by a cute french boy who then talked to me while others were pushing him into me and me into the back corner of the metro car :) (again, i didn't take this picture...i'm too afraid to enrage the crowd by whipping out my camera at times like these...and also not really able to reach into my bag since i'm being crushed by the crowd!)
