... mask and Greek Tragedy. We'll see about a Commedia stage week-end.


December 6th:

Been revisiting the touristy parts on weekends, though haven't taken too many pictures. Went to the Louvre today, though, and took a bunch of random shots. Also took a few of typical Parisian buildings, which I'm going to miss much!

... Baggage, yes!" That was all the guy could say, in English it seemed, but the baggage conveyor belts were abosulutey empty, just as the line. We asked another security guy and....... WE WERE LOST! Somehow, we went the wrong way and took a wrong turn somewhere. We followed the directions the English speaking security guy gave us and ended up at an Information booth. They told us to go back downstairs and to an AirFrance booth. A guy ...

... 9829;♥♥&# 9829;♥♥♥♥♥ ;♥♥ Friday night went to stay at Maggie's house because we're carpooling to the station and back. Very different to my host family - very calm, quiet, just a 3 year old daughter and the parents etc...almost the opposite! Saturday morning set off bloody early and just caught the train, cut it a bit close! Met everyone at Brussels and walked around the corner to the coach. Set off a bit late, coz we were ...

... yeah, I'm all about that. But it was also nice to plan and do splurge things without him whining about the expense. The hotel was one of those things, something that we paid more for than we normally would, but I wanted to get him in the center of the city. Dinner the first two nights was another. So we packed up, moved to our hotel across town, figured out the Metro and bought appropriate tickets, found the hotel, and got settled in. The room ...

... voo Anglay?' The policeman looked at us irritatedly and just said 'No'. We stared blankly back at him, he exchanged a glance with his colleague, who shrugged eloquently and they both went back to writing whatever it was they were writing. While we were tempted to test their understanding of English swear words, we just stood there for a bit longer and then decided to turn on our heel and leave, no doubt impressing them with our self possession...ha. It seemed funny to us that the ...

In the end, I paid 130 euros to change my flight, 30 euros to store my luggage at the airport overnight, and 18 euros for a round-trip ticket on the RER B. That’s $275. Paris Shuttle Service refuses to respond to my emails and calls, and refuses to refund the money. That’s Paris Shuttle Service. That’s customer service in France. And they don’t care one bit. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

... why I decided to archive all my trips in this website now. Anyway, let's get into the main subject of this travelpod... I hope it will help all the people that are trying to plan a trip in Asia. In the process of setting the whole trip, I have been through lots of travel guide books, websites and other blogs in order to select the cities that my parents and I may have interest in. All the ...

... the menu said. It was ok! Then we went back to the hostel and ran into 2 Brazilan guys that we had made friends with and were staying in the room with us. They wanted to walk to the Eiffel Tower so we went with them. On one side of the tower there is a huge grassy park where you can take great pictures and sit and look at the tower. At night I think it is popular with young locals who bring wine out there and sit under the tower. We took some ...

... is about 5kms walk from where we were but apparently still in the airport, and made it to our hotel with minimal fuss. Hotel room was very small (although I think this is thenorm in Paris) and we were sharing a bathroom to cut costs, but it was in a lovely spot, just down from the Sacre Couer and the staff were very helpful. The 2 days we were there we saw the Louvre, which was beyond words. Just really unbelievable. The building itself is a work of art and hard enough to ...

... m not taking that class so it doesn't matter. After the test today, some of us tried to go to the catacombs, but a lot of things are closed on Mondays, so we walked through this famous cemetary instead. Apparently Jim Morrison is buried there somewhere, but I didn't care to find out where his grave was. Oh, and I finally found a supermarket!!!! I was able to get some food like cereal and some little cookies (real healthy, right? :-p) and some stuff to clean my room with. I sitll need ...
