Paris, its stressful with the Metro

Once it was fun to fight with the crowd, and checking out some hot chicks in the underground in London; and Paris wasnt so much different. Finding the ways through the colourful network of lines was fun. Getting on the wrong train and arriving at the wrong station wasnt a big deal. Backtrack and it would all be ok. All these were 15 years ago. It aint that fun no more.

Tour eiffel

I wonder when was the last time i was near the Eiffel Tower though I have been numerous times in Paris since 2006. Possibly in the same year after we moved to Switzerland. Having seen it a number of times, the first one being in the mid 90's, (student budget trip), there's nothing left thats special about it. Nevertheless i still enjoy lazying on the big park opposite it watching tourists getting into all sort of actions and poses trying to come up with the best pictures with the tower.

Street dance in Paris

Quite cool - a group of youth performing dance near the Opera in Paris.

I took this video on the first evening of the last visit to Paris I did in May for a Nuclear management meeting. As usual, I hate eating in proper restaurant, being served and all that. A short metro ride from Levallois is Opera (on one line, no change); and I usually take a strole along the high street and get some quick bites from some of the takeaways there.
