Paris trip

From Paris


A couple going to sleep in public open space?

No, just trying to persuade people to go vegetarians. It was at Palais de Chaillot in Paris.

Well, during my this one week holiday, I went to Paris as I haven't been there for such a long time. It's only one night trip. I chose Eurostar which took 2 hours and 20 min to get to Paris Nord station from London St Pancras. The thing is I forgot to bring any books to read during my journey. I left my PDA and laptop at home deliberately as not needed. So I couldn't surf or chat on the train. I felt bored and tried to sleep while the guy with bald head sitting in front of me was watching dvd on his small sony computer which made him smiled on and off.

When I got to area near Dupleix station not far from Eiffel tower, I learnt that the hotel I booked was not vacant unfortunately. They transferred me to a nearby hotel which is more expensive one, but I did need to pay only 99 euro, the price of hotel I booked online in advance.

I just did some sight seeing. I took photos. ( I had to buy emergency memory card as my 1GB one finished). I drunk wine. I ate some foods.

I could not stay in Paris more than 1 day as I have no friend there. I dont speak French. They dont speak English. Whenever I said thank you, they just replied Merci. Netherlands where I visited a couple of months ago is more comfortable for me. Dutch people speak English.

Some site seeing photos here.
