The rame was rammed!

There's a joke in there somewhere....(French google 'rame') OK, I just did it for you. It's a colloquial term for metro or train carriage in French. Yeh, it's the best French transport based pun I could muster!

Every time I'm in the office I've arrived 'too early' (yes 9am is early in France) and I'm usually first to turn the lights on, I decided this morning to stay in bed. The upshot being I left the house 15mins later.

Anyway; what a difference 15 small minutes make!

Usually the metro and the bus are filled with people in suits, ties, people that don't say much. People that glare at you when you push them in the back trying to get on the bus only because someone is pushing you in the back. People that work in I.T. Or telecoms.

But this morning was different.

Only one bloke in a suit; I figured he must be running late as he was trying to tie his tie whilst on the metro. And the 'the others'. People who never get up on time. People that feel it's fine to wear a cardigan with a suit blazer. People who think it's wonderful to put so much gel in their hair that if the metro were to crash that would be the crumple zone. People with breasts so big that if the bus were to crash we'd have airbags. People who have iPhones.

What a difference 15 small minutes make!

I think I'll stick with the suits.

And whilst you were reading that, I hopped on the metro and two stops later I was at the Eiffel Tower. (On the way back it was three as I was reading a txt from my dad and forget to get off) But anyway; I've been living in Paris properly for nearly a week and I haven't been to the Eiffel Tower yet. I've seen it from my lounge window but not been to it.

So tonight I went. For you readers; yes PICTURES!

The first being the Eiffel Tower I took an hour ago and the second is the park outside my flat
