Move it move it

Moving around in England and France is far more different than what I am used to in the United States. First off, I have never seen so many people walking to their destinations. Here in Livonia the only times I ever see a person out walking is either to walk their dogs or get a workout in. In addition, I did not see one obese person in the period of time I was in Europe and this is probably because of the amount of walking they do each day. It’s very easy to maneuver your way through England and France on foot due to the fact that everything is so close together. Restaurants, stores, and souvenir shops were literally right next to each other and it made traveling so much more convenient. In Livonia, I am used to enormous shopping centers with maybe a café and some fast food restaurants, but I could not find a very fulfilling and healthy meal in a mall in Michigan. Where in London and England I found some exquisite and filling cuisine inside their malls.

Another main mode of transportation is the crotch rocket. The high purr of these small but powerful machines is as common as hearing crickets at night. After a few days in England I did not even turn my head when I heard the high revs being produced by these bikes because they were everywhere. However, since London and Paris are quite wealthy I took some great self-pictures with some of the most expensive bikes in the world like Ducatti! The streets in Europe are perfect for small transportation like these because you can weave in and out of traffic in order to get to your destinations. In addition, after seeing so many of these motorcycles I have an increased urge to purchase one.

As I mentioned before, Paris and England are very wealthy and the cars were beautiful. First of all BMWs, Mercedes, and Jaguars were scattered throughout the streets and provided much eye candy for a car fanatic like me. In addition to these fast and luxurious cars there were Porsches, Ferraris, and Aston Martins as well. The best part was that all the drivers were not prudes either and they would rev their engines and accelerate at lightening speeds. I believe that is how these cars are meant to be driven and European drivers now have a place in my heart.

However, you cannot forget the subways. The subway is probably where most of London and Paris’s population goes to reach their destinations. From experience I noticed that they were immensely crowded and quite smelly as well. Although the subways did not have a radio they did have live entertainment. This consisted of acting, instrument playing, and singing. The performers were really talented in my opinion, but unfortunately it was obvious that they were not very wealthy which is why I donated money to them a couple times. All in all, transportation in Paris and London is far more different than America's by a long shot.
