Paris Trip in April

Time to tell something different today. We had a mid term break in April. We had 10 days of holidays. So I spent it with Hao and Coco. We went over to Paris and we had a blast. Well, i wanna thank Hao so so much for planning this trip. He was the one who planned every single thing. He looked for the accommodation and became our tour guide. So he really deserve a big compliment. So we went on Monday early morning. We took the 6 sumtin train so that means we had to wake up at 5.30 and guess what that was when i got my HANGOVER! So i was so so sick even wanted to cancel my trip. I dragged myself from the bed to the station.

So the train ride was like 4 hours from Lausanne to Paris. We slept in the train and had some biscuits and stuff. I couldn't believe that i slept in the train. It was so funny because we all slept on the table in the train. People there must have been wondering what's wrong with us. LOL.



TICKETS TICKETS!!!!

So we reached around 10 in the morning in La Gare Lyon. This is where the trains are. When i placed my foot onto the ground of Paris, it was so fasinating because i can't believe my eyes that i was in Paris. It was the place where i wanted to go and thought about going there for my honeymoon. Lol. Finally i was there in Paris. It was so busy. full of people everywhere. It was so different compare with Switzerland. Felt so like a lost "kampung girl". Thank God we had Hao. We just followed him and he was like our papa.



Here in Paris La Gare.

Of course the first place where we wanted to go was to where we were suppose to stay. Hao found an accommodation which was actually owned by a Taiwanese artist who is in Paris. He has a galery and below his galery he has so called an apartment. He usually rents it tourists like us. It was really reasonable. It was more like a cave to me but it was nice. So cozy. It was included with a kitchen. So we could cook our own dinner. The sleeping area can accommodate 4 people. There were a bed and 4 mattresses. We ladies gave Hao the bed since he deserved it. So sleeping on the floor wasn't that bad. The kitchen was quite well-equiped with coffee machine, stove, a fridge and all. There was a washing machine too if we want to wash our clothes. The shower however was pretty scary at first because there isn't a door or anything to cover. It was like a shower hid behind a huge tank. So if you don't announce that you are showering, WAH RUGI LA!! LOL. But of course we are friends. We trust each other. So it was cool.

Without wasting any of our precious time, we straight away headed out to the city. However, our first sstop was to have lunch. We were so hungry at that time. And because of that, we just ate Pizza Hut for lunch. We couldn't spend another minute to look for nice restaurants. After that, we started our tour. It was so cool and lost also because it was like an adventure. Hao and Tian Tian were the map lookers because no way i can read the map so i was just a follower. Our accommodation was really strategic because it was situated in the middle of the popular spots like the opera house, the church and others. So our Day 1 plan was to walk around that area.

It's so cool to see moving advertisements.








Then, we went to a wine shop. So Huge.



So MANY types of wine. Should have come here to do our wine project.






Notre-Dame de Paris is a Roman Catholic cathedral and base of the Archbishopric of Paris.

There were so many pigeons out there.


Next we went to see the President's Area. It was guarded just like the London's Palace with "statues". LOl. They do not move at all and they did look funny with the long hat. It was such a coincident that someone was arriving and we managed to take a peek inside.


You CALL him Mr. President!

The "STATUES" : Hao wanted us to take pic with the guy and CoCO was like "ARE YOU CRAZY?? HE HAS A GUN!!"..so funny



Who could it be? Mr P? Mrs P? Ms P?


So we walked and walked the whole day. Non-stop. you should be very amazed at us because we did not use any transportation that day. WE just continued walking and walking for hours. We even walked so so far away from where we were suppose to walk. You could say that it was almost to the next town. But it was fun.

Just then, my craziness and hype began to take over my body. So we had many crazy pictures and fun pics. It was so cool and beautiful because we walked to the park nearby and it was just so cool and romantic.



The park that we CONQUER!!



Flying High!! Striving High!!
*more likely " My Dream is to Fly"*..hehehe..(it's a song which we always hear in Black Pearl)

Hi Statue and drawf? lol.

It became evening and we were so so exhausted. My feet especially my toes were aching. I had blister! Ouchie!! So we wanted to head back to the apartment but the apartment was so damn far. But still we had to walk and walk. Finally, Home sweet Home. We had our showers and dinner. We cooked pasta. It was Yum Yum! It felt like we were housemates and we cook together. How fun!!. I simply just drop down dead on my mattresses while the others continued their night adventure that night.

There is more to tell!! DAY 2 and DAY 3 Coming up!!! So stay close!!
