How beautiful tis city is? just hav a look at the photo on the right, it is the park nearby Eiffel Tower. i just took a random shot and it is so nice already. do u notice all trees r in the same size, height and shape? awesome rite? seriously i wan to salute them, they hav a good town planning in decorating the whole city. actually there r still a lot of shots better than tis tat i hav uploaded into friendster, just hav a look there or i can share them when we meet one day. tis town impressed me a lot, i shd b feeling very happy but u noe, i m quite "down" throughout the whole trip, except for certain moments when the town's decoration impressed me! when mentioned bout this, i m kinda disappointed.
1st of all, their underground is quite poor. dunno is it becoz of london's transport system is too good, paris' transport seems to be quite poor compareably. those trains r kinda old, the doors need to be opened manually and the station is dirty! except for M1 line. the day pass is kinda expensive too, it costs me 8.50 euros while it is 4 euros for Rome and 5 pounds 20 for London only. france citizen claims that they hav the best food in the world, but all these need MONEY. i spent around 130 euros excluding eurostar (train from london to paris) but i m yet able to taste their "best food in the world". we spent a lot in accomodation and entrance fees for certain places like Eiffel Tower, Lourve Museum and Boat ride to see Paris. the oni entrance fee i feel not worth paying is the museum, we r not interested in such thingy, and we just go in purely becoz of "Mona Liza" which i dun feel special.
I learnt a lesson during tis trip as well - DUN ever try to sneak into SMALL 2 stars and 3 stars hotels! we tried to sneak in, but failed, and we ended up paying for an extra room with spent us really a lot. well, this is our fault, i m not blaming bout it. wat irritates me is the attitude of the person in charge, he is dam FUKING annoying! i feel tat he is a racist which feel tat we are poor and cant pay. then when we r paying, he tried to give us some "words" but was repelled by vicsen, this is the moment i felt better haha! if i ever met the boss, i will tell the boss frankly "Fire this fuking employee! he will just annoy customers! tis shd be avoided in service industry." sry for being rude, i was just trying to express my dissatisfaction haha...
let me intro the photo on the right, tis place in known as La defense. tis is the modern part of paris town, there r fancy buildings and modern shopping complexes all around this place. wat made it more famous is the "Grande Arche". Have a look in my frenster and u will find the picture of it, it is at zone 2 of paris. usually high buildings r located in zone 1 of the city but paris is opposite, zone 1 is place with ancient historical tourist spot and older buildings. u will feel like u r at beginning of 20th century if there isnt any car around. tis place impressed me the most, coz it is out of my expectation, i dunno there is such place in paris! We feel relief when we reached this place, coz we r very tired already and we tends to giv up continuing our planned journey. it was a good decision to continue! If i ever hav chance to go to paris again, i will be staying around tis place. the accomodation is cheaper in zone 2 as well...
