... our minds in a million years. It's the guests. I know, can you believe it? Let us explain. At least 95% of the guests in the America parks appreciate what they are taking part in. Many of them are in awe of the detail of the parks, appreciate the over the top cast members, and, most importantly, pay nothing but respect to their surroundings and the general rules/culture of the park. Unfortunately, the guests out here do not behave in the ...

Today we thought we'd take it easy and just do a bit of a stroll around the canal st. Martin. It was really slow-paced and relaxing there. Quite nice weather too! After this we still had time for one more peek at the river (I found free wi-fi behind notre dame). Then we walked past the pompidou - I always find it rather modern compared to the rest of the city. We then ...

... CD player I borrowed from Kyle. I arrive back at my hostel after nightfall around 2100, starving, and in dire need of some booze so I decided to drink my dinner before the big game started. I run into a group of guys from Florida so we chill in the bar, have several beers, and watch as France is playing England. South Africa was playing Argentina and SA whooped their asses. I had front row seats to view the 29" plasma with 30 some-odd other people! Now this kind of Rugby ...

... Hammurabi, Rembrandt, Rubens, frescele italiene, sacrofagul sotilor si cate si mai cate alte minuni pe care era un timp cand nu as fi crezut ca le voi vedea vreodata in realitate. Un musuroi de oameni care se misca in toate directiile. De Mona Lisa nici macar n-am incercat sa ma apropiu, oricum erau atat de multe altele de vazut. Era in spatele unui perete de sticla, in fata unei mari de oameni, nu mi s-a parut ca merita efortul, am stat in fata. In schimb m-am ...

... outside. Yesterday was Saturday and we had breakfast at the hotel. Lots of croissants and breads and crepes and juice...yum! Our tour group got on our bus after breakfast and we were taken on a tour around Paris to a number of famous places. A local tour guide different from our Cosmos guide did the talking. They took us to Notre Dame Cathedral. It was huge and the details of the carving on the outside were amazing ...

... du métro, j'ai aperçu le soleil, puis Paris. Il aurait fallu que quelqu'un soit là pour prendre une photo "Dédé ne se rend pas compte qu'elle est à Paris" et "Dédé vient de se rendre compte qu'elle est à Paris". Je ne pouvais pas me voir, mais je suis certaine que ce fut toute une métamorphose! Je vous montrerai une photo de ce que j'ai vu. La tour Eiffel au loin, un monument quelconque droit devant moi... Impossible de décrire comment je me sentais. Je crois qu'au fin fond de moi ...

For the last few weeks Zhanara and I have been in Paris. For the first week, we stayed with our friend Aminatou who is from Paris. It is so nice to stay with someone you know here. The opportunity to stay with someone from Paris has given us so much deep insight on this city. The second week we went to stay in an apartment we rented in the Latin Quarter. During this week my parents came to stay with us ...

... and the trams in Budapest and Prague! With only a few days in Paris we went around to all the major sights; Notre Dame Cathedral where we were lucky enough to have a service begin, Champes Elysees both day and night which is an amazingly beautiful stretch, Arc De Truimph (I pretended I was in Le Tour!!) and the Louve. Off to Dublin in a few days for some more adventure.

... days there were huge signs on stores claiming that they did not sell English beef--and since then, the origin of meats in a restaurant is de rigueur. The place of origin of every foodstuff is labeled even in the large grocery stores such as Franprix or Monoprix. Do you want Spanish clementines or Israeli? Mexican or American avocados? Turkish or Greek apricots? And oysters. I don't know anything about them. Or snails ...
