Friday
This Metro thing is very cool, to get to CdeG airport to meet our MIT group we merely had to take the #4 Metro SB to Denfort-Rocherau, climb 56 stairs to the RER B and jump on board. Took us three tries to get a train that was not jammed. It was Saturday morning and we were sure the trains would be empty – how wrong we were.
What we didn’t know – but we started to figure things out when we saw young people in costumes – was that there was a giant Anime’ exposition at the Paris Exposition (the train stop before the airport). There we were, sitting amongst our luggage on a too crowded train filled with young people dressed as their favorite Anime’ characters. It was like Steam Punk meets Louis the 15th’s court at Versailles.
