Hi! I am finally back to Indonesia for my summer break... And since I don't have much to do, let me update my blog, which I so seldom post.

Visited the pretty city of Paris end of last month, a city that is more than just beautiful. It was my first time to Paris and all I can say is just WOW. I love all the architecture, the colours, the vibe, not too much with the food, or maybe I haven't found that is of to my taste... And also just saying, there were so many Koreans there, like I hear them in every corner and at every attraction... Usually I will hear more Chinese, but this time round, its different and I find it weird.

I spent a total of 5 days in France, 3 in Paris and 2 in Nice together with my friend Maylanie. I regretted not being able to stay there for a longer time, but I had to move places in London and it was just a hectic schedule to follow if I stayed even a day longer.

In short, this was my itinerary...

Day 1: Paris - Touring around the city with Laura
Day 2: Paris - Disneyland
Day 3: Paris - Louvre and relaxed walks
Day 4: Nice - Promenade des Anglais
Day 5: Nice - Chillax and back to London

Day 1 (Sunday)

Went to the old town of Saint Michel after I met Laura, where we had our lunch. Mind you, that we were very, very hungry. The only problem I can complain about in Paris was the slow service... I don't think I am able to seat for hours just talking, oh well I can actually, but only at certain times...

Kept taking Laura's Raclette because its so nice, especially when there is baby potatoes I can eat it together with... Potatoes are LOVE... I think out of the days in Paris, this was the most Frenchy and nicer meal...

Look at that cheese melting!


Notre Dame Cathedral



Day 2 (Monday)

Disneyland, hmm I don't know how to say this, but it was not as happy as what I thought it will be. The queue for the rides are extremely long.... I think we queued up for like an hour and a half for the buzz lightyear shooting ride, which is rather boring...

What's the best throughout the day was the parade, of course.... Couldn't be bothered to queue for the meet and greet with the characters earlier in the day, but its okay because you can see all of them here!


Disney Swag

Day 3 (Tuesday)

The Louvre



Palais-Royal



The view of the Eiffel Tower from Cours La Reine, heading towards Champs Elysees

Regarding where we stayed, I highly recommend the place we stayed the other time... It was near Champs-Elysees, perfect for shopping or if you want to find food... I think we got really lucky because I have actually no idea what Paris is gonna look like.

I heard stories where Paris can be pretty frightening, where there are lots of pickpockets and such,, I guess we were really lucky, except a time we got conned while eating breakfast at Champs-Elysees. Things to take note - just ignore or reject people who come up to you, asking for a donation.. this happens everywhere...

Paris is just a beautiful city, I can't say how much lovely memories I made there. Next stop, Nice...

Day 4 (Wednesday)

I spent the day alone that time because my friend was not feeling well, and rather than staying in a hotel, I went out by myself, got a tan, a really bad one at the end of the day. Nevertheless, the sea and the sky were too blue, too beautiful...

Kudos to the hotel lady who told me where to go, so from the hotel Villa Rivoli, I just need to walk up to the Promenade des Anglais, where I just need to continue walking to the left, pass by a garden and a flower market, where I will reach the Vieille Ville, the Old City.

From the Old City there is the Colline du Chateau, where you can see the overview of the coast, together with the old town.
