How to survive in the subways of Paris
Make the most of your parisian journey in the means of transport
You use the means of transport every day? You often feel in distress very close to strangers around, breathing and sharing the others' steam through the ant hills under Paris.
Here's the place to read or share any experience you need to feel free to talk about, but also to learn some useful daily rules you need to remember when using the parisian subways or RER.
In and through the stations
Rule Number 1: Never stop walking. Keep moving fast and regularly.
If you loose something, forget about it. Remember this rule: keep walking, no matter what you lost. Your wallet? I.D.? House keys? Return tickets?
Which brings us to rule number 2: keep your values out of any danger: you, clumsy, stranger's hands...Be creative!
Rule number 3: avoid any visual or physical contact with others. Some people will do it on purpose, but it's necessary provocation. Be good.
If by chance you did so, you have to look down quickly and straight away because people would counter-attack with a revenge look, a mad one, a critical one, or worst of all: a wink or a smile!

Rule number 4: do not touch anything with your hands. No, not that! Nothing.
Rule number 5: if you notice an East European young girl, please look for your belongings, and if you feel like this young girl is touching you, it might be because that's what she's looking for too. So in that case, remember rules number 1, 2 and 4.
Inside of the subways:
Rule number 6: always offer your seats to pregnant women and older people. Be careful with some women because they might not be pregnant or too old, actually. This always happens to me!
Rule number 7: always check your localisation, because it often happens to look at the place you have to go but when you realize that, doors close in front of you and you're just draged to the next station.
Rule number 8: When you're seated on foldaway seats, please stand up when the ream is crowded with people.
Fortunately, it isn’t such a problem in Paris!
So, Une Quiche Nommée Loally wishes you a nice journey of the parisian subway with the SNCF and the RATP.
Soon, I'll write about Las Vegas!
