Today wasn't going to be worth an update since nothing too exciting happened (other than Kara binging on Norman videos) except that on the way home, the RATP were out in force. Quite literally every other day I see people jumping over the turnstyles or going two-at-a-time to cheat the system, and I always wondered why there weren't just plain clothes policemen waiting to catch them since it seems to be incredibly common. Well today I was transferring from the RER B to Line #4 at Denfert-Rochereau like I normally do, and I noticed a very thin woman squeeze between the bars of the "luggage" entrance without paying. I was busy being impressed she could squeeze through so small a space, when she was quickly stopped by undercover RATP agents who flashed their badges and then quickly whisked her away to pay her fine. Nice.
All this watching of Norman (who is incredibly hilarious if you know French) has really helped out Kara's French, and even mine. She actually gets most of it despite the slang and incredibly fast speaking, but even I'm able to figure out a handful of words. And I learn the pronunciation of words I would have never ever guessed, like how "choix" (choice in English) is pronounced which lets just say nothing at all how I assumed it was. Oh French.
