As for France, the two main cities i went to were Paris and Nice. Paris was simply beautiful, especially at night. No wonder it is the city of romance. Oh, on the first evening, i walked all the way from Gare de Lyon to the Arc de Triomphe! I did lots of day trips from Nice, such as to Grasse, Monaco and Cannes as bus rides were only 1Euro for one way.
standard picture.
flying easyjet was a nightmare as everyone was rushing for seats at the front part of the cabin. as for me, im fine with where i sit as long as it is a window seat.
the orange bus from GCD to RER torcy station, where Isabelle fetched me.
ooo, lovely old parisian houses along river seine.
the famous notre dame from the back.
me and the front view of the notre dame. didnt go in as i dodnt have enough money. haha! well, i will the next time i come to paris.
pesky gypsy woman who went round asking ppl if they knew english. and if you said yes, she'll show you a piece of paper with words on it, saying she needs money for blah blah blah.. they work as a syndicate. if you go there, don't pity them. they're all able bodied and should find a job instead of beg. I was approached 3x within a 10 min period.
now, how can anyone NOT want to visit paris?
arc de triomphe.
disneyland paris. just 3 train stops from Isabelle's place but unfortunately no money to go in. :( got budget to maintain la beb.
paris's main mosque, somewhere near the zoo. there's a cafe which sells reasonably priced food. i bought some cake for just Euro1.5.
me in front of moulin rouge
the sacre coeur. be wary of african men who will trick you into giving them money after they make some stupid cheapskate friendship band. These people spoil the image of paris.
oh! my long lost lover, i've finally found you. and so did 3478523467563475671346 other tourists.
