Paris the city of lights...

Upon our arrival in Paris, we were faced with the hustle and bustle of city life. And the weather also seems not welcoming us on the first day! So, we only had a dinner then went to bed very early without experience the night life in this city. (We were staying in Woodstock hostel near to Anvers train station). We were so lucky because the next day was a beautiful shiny day! I first stepped the land of Paris in June, 2008 however it was a day visit before I flew to Mauritania. Yet, my second visit only for 3D 2N. Actually Paris is an amazing city that you really cannot be truly appreciated in a short trip. So, if you plan to visit Paris someday, I would like to suggest you to stay at least a week...
As we have a very limited time we decided to take a tour and we choose THE NEW PARIS FREE TOUR because their expert guides work on a tips-only basis. (Budget lorrrr) You all can check them at http://www.newparistours.com/ . Our tour was guided by George, the coolest and funniest American young man I ever met ;-) Just want to thank him for the great time, we had lots of fun! Wish you all the best in your study man..

Within the 4 hours walking tour, I think we have covers all the main historic sites of central Paris such as: Notre Dame de Paris, The Louvre,Palais Royal, Haussmann's Renovations, Eiffel Tower, Tuileries Gardens, Musée d'Orsay, Arc de Triomphe, Place de la Concorde etc. Let me share some pictures with you here..

Too much to see, too litle time! (Barcelona)

It all begins after I read this Lonely Planet travel book.

After dreaming of going Europe months before, Lulu and I decided to go for a great adventure in some part of Europe (27 Sept – 12 Oct). We started our adventures in Barcelona where Lulu and I were spent 5D 4N and it was a fantastic wonderful experience. We have reached Barcelona around 5.01 pm by easyJet from London and were greeted in the bus on our way to La Rambla by a young good looking Spanish (local). I still wondered how he knew that Lulu and I are from Malaysia until today. Bukan dia paham pun bahasa melayu hehe We were staying in Barcelona Mar hostel, only 5 minutes walk to La Rambla. It is cheap and clean hostel with a friendly nice staff but just unluckily me because I didn't t sleep for the first two nights. My neighbours were snoring like hell! Not only one, but there were three of them… TAK TAHAN!

The uniquely Spanish charm of Barcelona is hardly to forget! I think Barcelona is a great place in Spain that you could visit again and again and not get tired of it. Although it is a big town, it is not difficult to get orientated and move around the different areas. I just love the "Barrio Gotico" and the views from the top of Montjuic…We have visited a lot of beautiful places such as Barri Gotic, Gaudi & La Sagrada Familia with numbers of Casa, Montjuic, Montserrat (a day visit) and a lot more but I only can share with you some of the pictures at below...

Besides the great culture, foods and beverage are also so nice! One of the tastiest culinary traditions in Spain is tapas. Tapas are small dishes meant to be served in conjunction with alcohol. Tapas are very tasty however they only last about three four bites (Well, I have big appetite!!). The price is also reasonable. The city streets are lined with tapas bars, but now I feel a little bit regret because we only ate tapas on our last day in Barcelona . Rugi wooo

So after five days experience the Spanish culture, we headed to Paris…
