Underground market

Discussion in the metro yesterday evening between two teenagers (roughly translated since it was in Paris :-):

  • How much for 1 ?
  • 50 cents
  • Come on!! how much ?
  • Seriously no less than 50 cents.
  • How much does it cost you ?
  • Duno… 10, maybe 15 cents.
  • And yet you want to sell it 50 cents to me ? your friend ?
  • Yes! If you want to send a SMS from my phone it is going to cost you 50 cents.

Ok I shortened it a bit. All this was about trading a SMS. I thought it was sort of a joke but I quickly realised it could not have been more serious. During that time their friend was entertaining the train with music played on his PSP.

What a wonderful world!
