Know your destination;
follow the right line.
Having only experienced
the underground in South Korea with a chaperone I was somewhat daunted by the
prospect of using the Underground/Tube/Metro in London and Paris.
After my first mishap
on the first Sunday where I seemed to go around in circles and wondering if I
would ever see the light of day again I was terrified about going into London
on the 11th and making my way to Madam Tussauds.
Turns out, I was worried
about nothing.
The trick is in both
London and Paris is to know the destination of the tube and work back to your
stop from there. Paris has been slightly trickier as the stops are all in
French; and rightly so.
I have found that
Google Maps have been invaluable about getting from A to B or giving a general
idea. Also, people are very helpful if you look a little lost.
Also, I had some great
notes about how to get around Paris from my friend Caroline.
So, all in all.... not
so scary after all.
