People in Paris Subway

This is the translation of my article "Essai Sur les Voyageurs du Métro"

This morning I decided to analyze Paris subway travelers, an environment rich in cultural diversity but also rich in behavior. I was able to distinguish during my 45 minute commute nine types of travelers. Let's see them:

Tourists
They are easy to recognize. Especially the Japanese. It is those who are excited to take the famous Paris metro. These are the only ones happy in the train.


Sleepers
Those who still have "heads in the ass", even at 9:30 in the morning.  We almost believe that it is rather 9:30 pm. Or those who have not yet recovered from the evening "a little" tipsy.


Smartphone-addicts
Those who are super focused on the last Angry Bird or those super strenuous to reach the best score Bubble Explodes.You will not miss to see a nice bunch of Iphone owners, their eyes glued to their screens.


Facebook-addictis
Those who are addicted to their Facebook (second) life and are overwhelmed to meet their 2000 notifications or to track their "friends" pictures.


Voyeurs
Those who spend their time looking at emails and text messages from their neighbors, as if your life was as interesting a novel who has been awarded a literary prize. You will also notice those who stare people from head to foot.

Super Readers
Those who are overwhelmed in their reading. They are also so focused that they forget soon after their arrest.


Rubbers
Only women understand what it is. You know those guys who have nothing else to do than to come to rub shoulders with (pretty) women / girls in the subway.


Workers
Those who are still immersed in their IBM desktop, in the reading of their documents, or in the process of refining the "big contract" of this month.


Depressive
No smartphone, no books, wandering the head in the clouds (well into the ceiling instead of the subway). They are still recovering from being in Paris, and still wonder why they came in the capital crazy.


Just for Jock
(To be taken with humor please). Those who "has no unemployment, no RSA, no money. Not eat for little children")


Anyway despite all those, I love the subway. I must avoid that I'm glad the morning to wait three minutes for the next train. :)
