Paris

Now in beautiful Scotland, Glasgow to be exact. The day started at 4:30AM in Paris, checking out, catching the RER to Paris Gare Nord then onto Charles de Gaulle. Terminal 3 is where EasyJet flies out of, a barren warehouse with seats. The flight was 30 minutes late leaving making me worry I'd miss my London-Luton to Glasgow flight, but the consistency of EasyJet's tardiness allowed me to catch the Glasgow flight easily. If you have a short fuse, don't fly EasyJet.
Glasgow reminds me of Halifax. The streets are full of students and the atmosphere is a bit more light than the places I've visited so far, more like home. I'm staying at the EuroHostel which is located right in the middle of the action. It has nine floors, it has a hotel feeling. My room has four beds with en-suite bathroom. The bottom floor houses the Osmosis bar, word has it it is very popular. Tonight they have funk house DJ's on tap so I may make an appearance.
While things are moving along here at a tourist's pace, Radio@UPEI is hustling away without me on the ECMA's. So far the coverage has been top-notch, I'm sure they will capture some gems.
All of my gems are still trapped on my camera and mp3 player. It has been impossible to find a functional computer.

After not finding any internet access beside the 2 euro/20 min access at the hotel, I've stumbled across a whole neighbourhood of them near les Forums de Halles.
Paris didn't start out so great. A 25 euro fine on the RATP train for having the wrong ticket (always read the small print) then walking around for 2 hours in the area the hotel was supposed to be in only to find out the internet directions were wrong. I am staying in a hotel just outside of Paris in the suburb Rosny Sous Bois. For only 30 euro a night it's a steal, very basic rooms but with a tv for watching the Olympics. Purchasing a Carte Orange has given me unlimited travel in the zones between the hotel and the Ile of Paris for 20 euro.
Paris is home to the worst walkers in the world. Fast, slow, left, right, stop; it doesn't matter who is behind and for that matter you might as well blow a bit of cigaratte smoke back in their face. Paris as a city itself is not overly interesting besides the main attractions. Those which I encountered so far were the Champs Elysees, Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, Musee d'Orsay, and the Louvre. Both the d'Orsay and Louvre are amazing, a good four hours can be spent at each if you pass up on the things that don't grab you. Otherwise you could spend days. I have found a new appreciation for art and have tons of pictures to upload.
Tomorrow I fly to Glasgow via London Luton.
