In French, when we want to say that a place is really crowded, we say "c'est pire que le métro à 6 heures du soir"! (Worse than the metro at 6 pm!) and that is exactly what I felt like yesterday when trying to buy presents on one of the many Christmas markets that we have in Paris at the moment. Totally incredible... I stayed no longer than 10 minutes;-) And today I'm off to Nice for a little break at Le Douzy, hoping it will be more quiet and that I can continue my Christmas shopping more peacefully;-)
In the U.S., we say it's like "Grand Central Station" -- and if you've ever been to Grand Central Station, you know what I mean! Ah, the joys of the holidays!
ReplyDeleteI have!
DeleteIn the UK, we might say "It's like Piccadilly Circus", although the younger generation might just say "it's rammed!"
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I hope you have a nice Nice break, you lucky man.
Thank you Drummond. I just arrived and here too it's... rammed!
DeleteBien, ici en Recife, Brésil, nous disons quelques chose comme "c'est pire que le Saint-Joseph Marché", (un centre de commerce populaire).

That's a good one, I'll use it from now on! A nice change from the metro reference!
DeleteI am in Grand Central almost every day (where I get the subway), so I know exactly what Tamera means! Hope you get to do some relaxed Christmas shopping while you're in Nice (and I recognize some new photos in your photos of Le Douzy—very clever!).
ReplyDeleteMerci Alexa... For sure, there are going to be new Le Douzy photos! Actually the Christmas decorations are splendid in Nice.
DeleteOh, yes... that's busy.
