France: le graffiti


One thing about France: if you travel by train, you will see a butt-load of graffiti. It's simply everywhere. Apparently, it started getting rampant in the late 70s/early 80s, and frankly I'm surprised there's any space left to paint given that time frame... but I suppose everything gets painted over at some point. It was in every city we visited, and France had graffiti in much greater supply than Italy, but Italy still had its share.

Side note: when we visited the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles, I noticed that some jack-wad named "Rene" had carved his name into one of the mirrors. Good work, dude. We're all REALLY impressed.
