Maxime is back, for now!
Have you ever purchased online?
What did you buy?
Where do you usually do your online shopping?
Do you prefer online shopping, or “physical” shopping?
Have you ever purchased online? Yep…
What did you buy? Books and cds in the early days, but these days, it’s normally holiday-related stuff – the plane and TGV tickets, and the hotel bookings. I can’t remember the last time it wasn’t one of those things..
Where do you usually do your online shopping? Nowadays, it’s the likes of Aer Lingus / EasyJet / Ryanair for my flights. I’d have used Amazon and Play for the books and CDs.
Do you prefer online shopping, or “physical” shopping? Physical, I guess, when you look at how little I do online. Bookshops are special, there’s something different about them that a computer just can’t recreate.

Are there TGVs a little everywhere around western Europe? Or is it only around Paris?
I’m starting again to think about my future trip to Europe and traveling by train might be a good idea…
The TGVitself is a French thing – it’s a ‘train à grande vitesse’ after all :) There are other versions in other countries though.
It’s not just around Paris though -within France, Strasbourg, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes, Nice and Bordeaux are all connected up. Since many of the neighbouring countries have also developed their own high-speed train networks, you can also travel internationally. (When I was going to Strasbourg, the train’s final destination train was Zurich).

Yeah, I know what TGV means! But I didn’t know any English equivalent, so I asked it that way. ;)
So in a matter of fact, the train network system is well developped in Europe?
Because honestly, here, I would never travel by train. It’s long, boring, and we have to make something like 4 or 5 detours before we get to the destination we want.
I went once to a little town in the west of my region, where it usually takes between 1 and 2 hours to go by car. In train, it took 8 hours!
I’d say it’s pretty well developed on the European mainland, yep – certainly much better than in the UK and Ireland. It took 2 hrs 20 mins to get from Paris to Strasbourg, I’m told it would take over 4 hours for the same journey by car. The train apparently is capable of hitting over 330 miles per hour :)
