Overheard while waiting for a metro in Naples

Sardine number one: “No way am I getting on this metro.”

Sardine number two: “But, why not?”

Sardine number one: “Well, just look at them. They’re packed in there like humans in a can.”

    Italy; home to train graffiti. Have similar photos somewhere, please don’t ask me to look/find them!

      Aw, c’mon, M’Lord. What else do you have to do to occupy your day? 🙂 The graffiti is just everywhere, isn’t it? You just don’t see it after a while.

      I see it’s still mighty warm for this time of year in NE Victoria, where I live. What’s it like in your neck (of the woods, that is)?

        My time is spent organizing food for the Wae Office & Coco, believe me it’s a full time job 😦
        It’s not the graffiti so much as the cowards and cowardly way the perps do their work.
        Weather here could not be nicer, Gets a bit warm, mid 30’s some days bit most of the time mid to high 20’s
        Thought you lived in Italy and just parked your body in Vic now and then when the mood took you 😈 😛

    Having travelled on the trains in Tokyo at peak hour, I know the sardine feeling. It’s interesting and creepy at the same time!

    Being squashed together in Italian public transport is a pickpocket’s dream (at least I think he was trying to pickpocket).

    Sounds like NYC subways LOL!! Was a sardine every single day going to work. I’ve been on Rome subways with no problem. This time going to try Naples’ but basically because I heard some of the stations were beautiful.

      I’ll bet you don’t miss that very much, Pat. My memories of the metro in Rome are mixed. I guess it depends a lot on when and where you decide to go. Toledo is supposed to be beautiful, but I was so intent on getting down what seemed endless escalators to get to the platform, I didn’t pay much attention.

    The metro in Naples is strange, it is brand new and old at the same time!

      You’ve got that right! I rode one of the funiculas today, it was very un-sardinelike.

        Have you entered or left from Centrale metro? It’s like a post apocalyptic LA, you go into a brand new, but neglected sunken shopping centre then down and down and down on mirrored escalators, it seems that the platform will never come, then, when it does it seems surreal as the platform is either brand new and covered in plastic, or really old and covered in posters telling you it’s being updated 🙂
