It's true, it doesn't exist, I have checked it. How would be my station named then?? :confused:
I'm really curious at the moment. Ok, Elrond, I owe you an apology, you were right. ;)
But in Madrid we DO have one Metropolitano station. Maybe it's just because we call the subway Metro, and not Metropolitano. :)
The name of the station on the picture is "Abbesses". :p:pQuote:

Ana.
Metropolitain still means Subway, and the old metalic frame indicates that this is an entrance to the subway. Now, like in Spain, people don't use "Metropolitain" any more and just say "Métro".
Otherwise, you can probably find a lot of stations called "Metropolitain" in Paris. THAT would be a little confusing, wouldn't it? ;)
This one really is funny :p :D:DQuote:

I have always thought that my station was called Metropolitain! Maybe it's because in Madrid we really do have one. I can't believe that I was taking the subway everyday during one month and I didn't know the name of the station. How did I managed to reach home then?? :confused:
I'm going to check my souvenirs from France, now I really want to know it's real name!! :D
But that's usually the same when you change country, there's always some misunderstandings.
I just imagine that you are lost one day and, while being in the subway ask someone "Where is the Metropolitain station". He would just think you are crazy and run away... :D :rolleyes:
:p :D :D :DQuote:

I've had plenty of these misunderstandings even in my own country!
I remember when I thought that a "white week", which is something usual in some spanish Universities, was a trip to some place to sky in the snow. At it meant just a week with no lessons. My friends had such a good time laughing at me... more or less like you today! ;) :)
Best regards,
Ana
I have found it!!
It was the Cité Universitaire station. I haven't found any image of the entrance, but it is very similar to the one I sent. Now I don't know if at that time I wasn't really aware of its name or if I have forgotten it during these years (8).
Anyway, issue resolved. :)
By the way, the number of votes is still growing (slowly), and France have finally catched up on Austria ;)
hey Elrond, it's been 9 for a few days now!! :)
I suppose, but I'm not checking the list every day.Quote:

Speaking of subways... for some odd reason, the London subway system is like a fashion statement here in the US. Kids wear apparel that says "Mind the gap" or names of big stations and stuff with the circle and stripe. Very weird.
From Saturno: Ohh, Xeon, maybe they simply agree with me.
From Irona: No I don't agree, but each one can have their own opinion.
From Xeon: War of the Cats.
Round 1, Fight!
By the way, Ana....you're not being a real girl. Now, why don't you change your ID to Ana7 or something?
After all, you already publicly list your name at the end of all your posts.
Ana7 is cooler, cuter and darn much easier to type, you know. :):):):):)
Hey, it's the same all over the world, I think. Have you ever been to London?. The tube (the subway) it's really fashionable, apart from being one of the best subway networks in Europe. I remember the first time I was in there, the tube made me feel happy every time I had to take it. I think it's full of color and music (I don't know if they still allow people to play music down there, but that used to make it very happy) and each station has a special flavour (should I say flavour or taste or what?, I can't remember the right word in English). As regards T-shirts and such I do think they are really cool. I wonder why I didn't buy one... :rolleyes:Quote:

First of all, Xeon, nobody is gonna fight with no one. OK?? Right.Quote:

Now, about your suggestion of changing my name, I don't know, maybe I could consider it. You know, as regards Internet I've been Saturno for many years, almost since I started using it. I have no interest in hiding my real name or so, I don't mind about that, but I like being Saturno around here. Or Ana Saturno, as people that I've met in other forum use to call me.
But you can call me Ana if you want. Actually, it's my real name, isn't it? ;) :D :D
Best regards,
Ana :p
why do I have the strange feeling that Xeon and Saturno7 (or Ana)
have something incommon... like for example...
BEING ONE AND THE SAME PERSON
:confused:
who knows
;) :D :p

I won't try to refute this because I've got the feeling that it would be worse... Only time will make you notice how wrong you are... ;)
But maybe Xeon will get very upset with this... HE'S BEING CONFUSED WITH A GIRL!! :D :D
Ana.
Well that seem typical for Xeon but I dunno... :rolleyes:
Not that I'm convinced in the contrary though :D
You said it 'Only time will show!'
This story about Xeon = XXX already happened with Platinium plus. I had a few doubts the first time, but his time I don't really have any. I don't think Saturno7 and Xeon are the same person, and it's because of the man/woman thing.
