Flabberfrenchgasted.
What a crazy 4 days in Paris with absolutely no idea how to read, speak or even hear french travelling around with just a map while looking like an idiot asking for a Mcdonalds meal. Travelling to France makes me understand the true meaning of culture shock. But I learned a few french sentences such as l'oreal, carrefour, peugeot, citroën, renault and louis vuitton. No I'm just kidding I actually learned merci, laddition, frites, pardoneh, salut, bonjour etc. On the other hand, the Eurostar was very dissapointing, not what I had in mind since its so famous and everyone said I have to experience it. Its just like KTM Malaysia.
Paris is a very small place, where if you dont enjoy art you can just finish touring around Paris in just 3 days. I wasnt interested in Paris beforehand so I just decided to enjoy the few famous tourist spots which is nearby a Metro (similiar to London's Underground). Lets see.. I ate Jewish dishes which you can't find in Malaysia, the best ice-cream in the world (claimed by the French), France Mcdonalds meal and everything else thats more than RM50 a meal. God help me.
My first stop was The Lourve, the famous Da Vinci Code movie made this place well-known to tourists. It takes you around 2 weeks to actually see every single piece of art in the museum, its huge its Musee Du Lourve.
-Outside The Lourve, just a few minutes walk away there's a very white park where everyone enjoys themselves by tanning nearby the fountain on the chairs.
- Its true what they say about the Mona Lisa. No matter where you stand the painting will stare right back at you. This is something you'll have to experience in The Lourve for just 9Euro or for free after 6pm if you're 26 years old and below.
- Remember to wait for an hour during the night, it sparkles and shines so bright that it lits the dark night sky. At the garden just stretching towards the Eiffel Tower there will be loads of married, engaged, puppy love couples cuddling under their blankets having wine and cheese romancing the night away.
The most beautiful building in Paris in my opinion would be Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral. It amazed me that the Notre Dame was more beautiful than the Eiffel tower. Its unexplainable, you have to experience it yourself by being there.
The pictures were taken by me by the way, did not google it, hehe. Gonna get my own SLR soon to take nicer photos. I'll continue the rest another day, too much photos to upload. Till then, au revoir!

This large piece of metal stands so tall where you have to tilt your head 90degrees just to get a full view of it from below. Its majestic by sunrise and beautiful by sunset, one the 7 wonders of the world.

Blogging Away.
Currently waiting for the 5.25am Eurostar to Paris from St Pancras Station its 12.14am and I'm wondering whether I could survive till then. Luckily the Costa Coffee is 24 hours and has Wifi, power plug and a great addition which is coffee! Its an international train station and Its like a miniature KLIA. I'm excited going on the Eurostar, if you've watched Discovery Channel before the Eurostar tunnel is actually part of history. The tunnel is dug from UK and France, the engineers from UK and France meet at the middle by breaking the last centimetres of ground with shovels and shook hands.
-Well this is pretty obvious. You shouldnt ask me why (refer to WOW Online The Movie female elf suggestion).
At the south end of the upper level of St Pancras Station, a 9 metre high, 20 tonne bronze statue named The Meeting Place designed by British artist Paul Day is intended to evoke the romance of travel. I'm not that knowledgeable, this is qouted from Wikipedia, hehe.
In addition, I stumbled upon this website which is the Top 10 Most Anticipated Movies of 2009/10, http://top10kid.com/2008/08/06/top-10-most-anticipated-movies-of-2009/. Cant wait for this 3 movies. There's a 15 year old boy still living inside me.
- WOW Online The Movie! lol. This is gonna be quite fucking awesome, I've played before till level 25 I think and quitted cos my friends were all max level using epics. Dint have the motivation to grind alone. I can imagine the few LOTR actors acting again with the same role, but the elven archer has to be a female, hopefully Megan Fox.. slurp.
- HEEEEEEEE MANNNNNN, wow its been awhile since I watched this cartoon. Good times good times. Waking up 10am on a saturday morning tuning in TV3 just to watch this when I was in primary school. Mr.Lau Wei Zhi suggested that John Cena from WWE should be He-Man, no-fucking-way!
-Well this is pretty obvious. You shouldnt ask me why (refer to WOW Online The Movie female elf suggestion).Well, now I'm going to enjoy my coffee and stare at my laptop till 5am. ENGLAND 100% record so far! Beckham 110th cap! double yay. I'm off. Update when I'm back from the land of pastry.
