I (not so soon) returned to Paris

Well, not too soon, and even 55 minutes later than the scheduled time, thanks to the French lady who, just before arriving in Turin, started vomiting some awful pasta alla bolognese, smoked cheese and other cruelty-made food she provably had for lunch in a disgusting touristic trattoria in Milan (the Capital of Robbery) and did not want to leave the train when we stopped at an unplanned station, where an ambulance was already waiting for her. She was not old (around 60 years old) and her daughter was really worried for her and tried hard to persuade her to get off the train for medical help, but it took more than a half hour before she was escorted by the 118 staff outside the train.

I felt for the daughter, who did her best for her mother and apologies for her stupid and selfish stubborness, and I felt even more for the two Italian girls sitting just in front of the sick lady and her daughter, for they missed the last train to Sainy-Étienne due to this long delay. There are also plenty of babies, toddlers and young children who are going back to Paris.

On the positive side, the other people in the wagon are very nice, and I have found a new friend: his name is Sisley and he is the guide of a blind lady.
