All about me

Day 8 - Changing of accommodation, free tour in Paris
Saturday, October 10, 2009

My mum really dont like the previous hostel and wanted a refund, we booked the hotel on the same night and moved out this morning. According to the stuff, it will be noisier cuz on Friday, all the students will go clubbing and I was woken by my roomates coming back to the rooms and the collecting of bottles glass at the back of the road... Well, the new hotel was really quiet and a little far to walk to metro station. It's the smallest lift and room I have seen in my life, but better than nothing. The stuff was nice enough to let me use their pc cuz I cant receive wi fi from my room.

Went to Hard Rock Cafe to buy some clothes for souvenir then go for the free city tour. We followed them till half way and we lost them! We tried finding them but coulndn't. What a pity I didnt manage to complete the tour and give tips to the student who guided us. They really bring us to nice places. I think I was to be blame for it cuz I asked my mum to take picture of me, but it was just in a spit of second that we miss them. Today, I was more farmiliar with using the metro. Something different from Our train was that u need to press something or lift up the handle if u want to get out or board the train! I think it shld be for security purpose. Went to The Louve and was very impressed with the museum!As today evening, they offer free entry for those under 26 so I just show my passport and went in! They are really rich in their culture! I think ppl in the past must be very free, so they can spend so much time drawing such nice and big pictures! Our tour guide told us that if u spend 30 secs for the things in the musuem and without eating, drinking and resting, u will need one month to finish watching it. Its very exaggerating but is very true. I spend one hour scanning through (cuz I dont know how to read French) and in one hour, I had only many to cover the 1st hall first level.(They have three halls and four levels for each hall.)



Went to try out the food as well! Well, cuz the place we are in are tourist area, so it was quite expensive though. Well, I am only left with 2 days to try out Paris food, so dont blame me for bloating up. Haha...

Oh, not only in London, ppl in Paris also like to bluff their way through the transportation. We saw ppl squeezing through the machine without paying and there are loopholes to thier system (ppl can go in through the exit) In London, ppl also get on the bus from the door at the back without paying, so it's a norm. Dont be surprised if u happen to see that in the future. Another thing I was surprised was in such developed country like Paris, the driver actually horn me for walking across zebra Crossing!!! They wont stop for u, so better be careful. Another norm is French couples kissing everywhere and they tends to show their love more readily than us asian. It's 00:08 now and I need to prepare for tmr. Hope everything went smoothly.
