Greetings from Paris

Hi readers. Haha is anyone there? :(
It's my ... 9th day in Europe today, celebrated Christmas in Paris. Haha. Overall, the trip has been good. It's an eye opener for me. The people in Europe are so laid-back, everything is just so slow here.. They spend time together without any technology gadgets. They walk their dogs in the streets and also bring them up the train. Haha they really treasure their dogs more than anything else.

In Munich, Germany
I visited Dachau Concentration Camp. It's very depressing there, especially knowing that this is the actual site they carried out their tortures, roll-call and bunked in those houses. They showed a 22-minutes documentary to us. The hole filled with dead bodies, some with their eyes wide-opened. At least it's all over for them.

I still remember Mrs Vijay showed us her photos when she went to Europe. She visited all the historical sites. Her History lessons were indeed useful and interesting! :)

Started to snow on the third and fourth day of the trip. Haha my first time experiencing it.

Next stop, London! 
Hahaha my favourite part of this trip! We went to Chinatown for our first Chinese cuisine dinner! I also took a photo where Harry Potter runs into the wall for Platform 9 3/4. It is a King's Cross station. Visited Big Ben, Tower Bridge and Leicester Square. We tried Italian cuisine too. We ordered this huge pizza. That was one of the best meals in this trip.

Shopping!!!! Hahaha omg! They have everything there. Numerous H&M stores, Forever21, GAP, Zara, Mango and lastly, Primark. Primark is da best!! They sell cheap and trendy clothes. Jeans are selling for 9 pounds, tops are 5 pounds each. -wide smile-


Lastly, romantic Paris! ♥♥♥♥
Everything looks old here. Haha I think I expected too much in Paris. LOL all the tumblr posts are always about visiting Paris before they die, see Eiffel Tower before they die, must travel to Paris one day. Actually, when you're at the Eiffel Tower, you will be like uhhh the end? Haha different thinking from different people. We took a lift up and then we decided to take the stairs down. It was a longgggggggg way down. HAHA just kidding! Took us around 20-25mins to get down?

For today, I visited Cathedrale Notre Dame de Paris. You know the story about the Hunchback man? Yup it is based on this cathedrale. Haha. Did you know why did the writer come up with this story? From what I heard, it's because the citizens in Paris think that the cathedrale is ugly and urged the government to demolish it. The writer heard of this news, was sad so he decided to write a story to save this church. Haha it's a tourist attraction in Paris now. Actually, the French also wanted the government to tear down the Eiffel Tower because they think it's an eyesore to them. Then at that time, the Eiffel Tower was built because of World Expo hence the government told the people that they will remove the tower after 25 or 28 years later. The architect of the Eiffel Tower don't agree with what the people of France said so he introduced a radiostation up on the Eiffel Tower and placed it on the top. Haha this way, the French found sth useful of the tower. Actually, there are alot of stories about them disliking some infrastructures and modern structures found in Paris.

I'll attach the photos up when im back in SG. Enjoy your holiday! :)
