Paris was FUN... Here's the recap: Met some new friends... Found out that wine is cheaper than soda in Paris and their cheap red is better than most of our red... Tea at a pho restaurant costs $2. Eiffel Tower Visit at night only b/c in the morning, it looks like CRAP. Champs de Elyss very pretty as well b/c of the Xmas lights, but not that special overall. Versailles is so worth it.. extremely beautiful.. But they are under construction, so go in July. Louvre was amazing, but as they hate Americans, none of the exhibits have english titles, so you are unable to fully appreciate the artwork.. blah..But it was really pretty, you can just stand there and be in awe of the place. But be prepared to spend the entire day there we were there for 4 hours and we didn't finish walking through the entire museum. Arc du Triomph was just nice and dandy, just take pics and move on, but still beautiful. Notre Dame: Beautiful, but made famous only by that book, too bad. FOOD was delicious. They have that wow factor everywhere. I usually don't eat lamb, but I had this lamb wrap thing at Latin Quarters and it was delicious. Just pick any pastries in any bakery and it's good. But you must try their macarons. It's made famous by Marie Antoinette and it's damn good. Crepes, how can you not love them?? Cheese.. omg.. their cheese is awesome.. And cheese is fromage in French.. cool.. hehe. Their metro system is pretty easy to use and we never got lost. how 'bout that? Visited other places as well, but can't really spell them.. c'mon never took French in High School. Sacre Couer?? That other famous church. Rue De la.. something.. The architecture is just amazing in France. Every street, alley and building just looks amazing. Parisians are actually pretty rude overall, so push BACK. On a whim, bought myself a Eurostar Train ticket (The BULLET TRAIN.. whoop whoop, fastest in the world, I think) to London and that was fun.. too bad that's where I caught the flu. Must visit the British Museum when you are in London and if you are a food junkie, visit Borough Market near London Bridge b/c they have the best food in London... omg.. blogging about it makes me want to head back there to eat. They got rabbit meat, cheese, bakeries, sandwiches, seafood paella, pies and man, you can just stuff yourself. It's like a huge food market. Also Tower Bridge and the Tower of London... the grandeur just amazes you. Want to lose weight?? Come catch my germs b/c this flu will make you lose appetitite, cause diarrhea, gagging/vomiting and also coughing and hacking your lungs out so you can't sleep. I should bottle this stuff and sell it. After a week of this, I bet you'll be dropping 5-10 lbs. That's the new diet, my friends. Will update w/ pics when I have time.. maybe when the coughing stops?? |
