london - paris

this blog is becoming a picture book! here, dear community, are some pics from st pancras, the new eurostar terminal that has finally been opened today, with only a few years delay. it looks great, still clean, and reminds me of leipzig hauptbahnhof with its steel arches and glass ceiling. only leipzig is bigger. funny how most people at the station (and there were lots of visitors apart from the travellers) took photos of the trains. but then, not many brits get to see a fast and clean train in their lifetime. not in britain, anyway.
how did the french celebrate the new paris-london terminal? they went on strike.
