Green doesn't mean it's safe to cross, just slightly safer than all the other times

So, in the UK you see a green man.  You cross knowing that it's highly unlikely you are going to get knocked down.  Here in France, it's slightly different. Green means cars are still coming towards you, but perhaps slightly slower. You still need to use your eyes. The words that can save your life are "C'est vert!".

Now that we've got that out the way...

I picked up a NaviGo card yesterday, for those of you who don't know what that is, it's basically Oyster, but in Paris, and prepaid in weekly/monthly/yearly travelcards.  To do this I had to go on a bus from Meaux to Marne-la-Valée Chessy RER/TGV (AKA Disneyland) where I saw cuddly Ewok toys in the shop which I reeealllly want. Then take the RER train one stop to Val d'Europe.  Total cost, just under €4. But now I have a weekly NaviGO travelcard for €34.

Today I'll be visiting central Paris. Not sure what I'll do, but without electric I need to keep busy or else I'll get bored.

One other thing: HOME COMFORTS. I found a shop that sells salt and vinegar crisps and other than sells pringles. It's like they know me...
