The subway

The subway was an exciting experience for us girls, as we had heard of how people had made life long friendships and seen the selection of "Borat" scenes filmed in the very carriages we had sat. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to meet some fashion editor and we could be best friends, or maybe we too could be featured in one of Sacha Baron-Cohen's new film. When we entered the subway it wasn't as glamorous as id previously thought. I found myself comparing it constantly to the London underground. And to be honest the subway won on the practical front. Its spacious carriages meant that everyone could travel comfortably which is a rarity when travelling the underground. although the subway won on that front i found it didn't quite have the character as the London underground supplies. each station in London is plastered in thousands of brightly coloured posters even the brick work is usually designed with the brightest pallet. The subway had none of this, it almost felt as though we were rattling around in an empty (but spacious) tin can. i suppose it all depends on what you want from your source of city travel .. do you want speedy spacious (quite boring) travel or do you want a journey through the very crowded humid but very aesthetically pleasing underground i know what i would probably prefer ...
