Day 2 - late for work

Well, if the French can get lost in France, why not the Singaporeans?

Paris has a very complicated network of trains that brings you to every corner of the city.

That was what my colleague, who has toured Paris for probably a month, told me. I felt that she only told me half of what I needed to know. The other half was: "provided I know how to use their transport system".

There are countless (I haven't counted them yet) different train routes, some sharing a few stations, some just intersecting one another for only 1 station, and all serve bring you to wherever you need to go (as well as to confuse you)

The place where I stayed is near a station where several train routes intersect, which made things worse. Luckily my colleague and I were late for only half an hour. When we arrived at the office, the staff there said that getting lost on the first try was pretty commonplace. That was some consolation for us.

The whole day passed by pretty much like it did when I was working in Singapore. Right after work, my colleague and I went straight to the nearby hypermarket, Auchan, to buy food and other necessities. It was pretty tough on the brain deciding what to buy, especially since we were still suffering from jet lag and our brain was used to sleeping by that time. After that, it was carrying all that shopping back to our apartment.

I feel myself growing more mature and independent, bit by bit, slowly but surely.
