Paris

Amazing city. And that metro system puts the London underground to shame. Trips on the Paris Metro of the same duration as what I take in London felt much shorter. This is due to the noise on the tube. The tube screeches and squeals through the heat whereas the trains I used in Paris ran on tyres, and the effect is a smooth quiet ride. The Metro felt much cleaner, everything on the tube is coated with a layer of carcinogenic brake dust. Combined with the heat, no wonder my stress level on the tube is so high.

I remember Bill Clinton talking about what book he had on his ‘nightstand’. I guessed what a nightstand was, and here’s a picture of mine. Sans books.

Ghost Stations
sup
I read an article in last saturdays TV Guide in the Guardian about Urban Exploring. I found a site about the disused stations on the London Underground. I’ve always looked out for the ‘ghost stations’ as I ride on the underground but I’ve never seen one. This picture is wicked – I never thought that there would actually be disused trains down there.

I do like to be beside the sea-side
sup
Ahh, the bracing English seaside…. Those buildings are two stories high! Even though the weather wasn’t the best it was still great to get out of London for a few days. Being from NZ I’ve always lived by the sea, and I’d forgotten how much I missed it. So even though the waves were breaking over the houses, it was great to be by the ocean again.
