Living in the jungle...

Had a hectic day today..no internet connection on my computer in the morning..thusly could not see that RER had problems..in the station..next train in 11 minutes, which in RER language means..train already full at arrival + a lot of people trying to get in in an already FULL train..I managed to squeeze in  the train..that squeeze out at  Gare du Nord..and finally got to work (thanks god TGV had no problems today - yesterday 30 min stop in the middle of the nowhere)..loads of work..stupid questions..but ok in the end ..back at Paris Est..metro 5 had problems..loads of people waiting ..an already full train..got out..to the surface ..went shopping (extraordinary therapy thing 'shop till you drop'..but it was just a short visit to monop' to get some sushi&maki dinner pack ..and got out with more things than expected :))..obviously)..than back to the metro..this time the train was in the station..and off we went after few minutes..so far so good..but wait..there is more..Gare du Nord..oh JOY..rer B train - the good one - was arriving..got in..stopped next to the door which opens at 'la plaine stade de france' - my station....but..when the doors were about to close..a bunch of people squeezed in..among them..first a lady..than a big black (need to say black because I do not know what afro-antillaiso-whatever african was..the guy) all pissed off because the lady got to the door before him and he thought he would not get in..and the big guy started to bully (verbally and by his only presence) the little arab lady..another guy (found out later by his spoken language that he was an arab) tried to chill the big black guy out..and only said..'on se calme mon cousin..on se calme' (calm down, my pal, calm down)..and this was just the sparkle over the kerosene tank..the big black started to bully the little arab (well he was not tall, but 'custo')...one lady next to me ran to the other end of the wagon..I stood there..just bit astonished..the black guy was almost hitting the little arab..I looked arround..a bunch of guys..1 black(he was singing when he got in the train, 3-4 arabs and the big black bully.. and silly ME..and I had this flash: the 2 starting to fight..me flying out the door's window..(in the happiest scenery) or at least hit by one of them..but the arab guy just went behind the other 3..and the big black chilled a bit and went away..after all calmed down..(I guess I got all the fuckin' negative vibes there on me) I felt like falling..and almost start to cry....OMG ... WHAT KIND OF A JUNGLE I AM LIVING IN?????
