I actually passed through Gare Centrale earlier today on my way to a wonderful photo exhibition. And I have no qualms about moving around the city I love as I please. I am not letting some camel fuckers dicatate what I do and where I go. I will take a taxi rather than public transport to the airport tomorrow, but only because the train times are not convenient for me given that I want to be at the airport at 6:30.
