Paris Trip PART 2

Ahhhhh... I started part 2 in Lynn's, a friend from back home, house during half term (no excitement.. it was only 5 days including Saturday and Sunday). She had got proper connection so I was trying to finish up this post. Didn't work. Hehe... Anyway, I stopped at the picture of Champs-Elysees at night.

Day 2- 28th January (Part 2)

Me in front of the Sexodrome (LOL) along Pigalle Street, Paris' red-light district. Sexodrome... LOL... don't tell me it doesn't crack you up.

Also along Pigalle, the famous Moulin Rouge.... remember the Nicole Kidman/Ewan McGregor movie...

My friends and I were actually wondering whether we should go watch ABUDEN, it would costs us €70, no table but standing at bar and 2 drinks. So in the end we didn't. Haih... BUT, we nearlly went to a table dancing bar, but 1 of the girls with us were all so prim and proper so we didn't feel nice leaving her alone so we didn't.

Day 3- 29th January

Sightseeing all the way...

Paris Trip PART 1

Hey hey hey… Been back from Paris for 2 weeks already. Left for Basingstoke Station on Friday morning to catch a train to Waterloo Station in London and from there we took the Eurostar Train all the way to Paris. This is the first bloody time I’ve seen a train station without a single smoking area! The Eurostar station is just plain weird man. Anyway, too lazy to actually type so I’m just going to chuck a whole lot of pictures here.

This is taking me forever man.... Internet connection here is literally like shit. Lags like hell and the connection is never stable. Argh.... I started this post like... 2 days after I arrived from Paris and until now I'm still not done. I'm just going to split this post into 2 parts. Easier...

Day 1- 27th January 2006
Padworth College --> Basingstoke Station --> Waterloo Station --> Paris

Me & Mimie (Sabahan girl) photo whoring while waiting for everyone else to get ready.

L-R Lan (Jap chick) & Candy (HK chick) in Waterloo's Eurostar Station waiting for the damn freaking train to Paris.

Check this out man... the damn Eurostar station has NO smoking area at all. Not a single one. BUT they're selling ciggarettes everywhere in the station. Weird shit. So anyway, a little information about this Eurostar Train thingamajig. Basically, Eurostar Trains take you to the neighbouring European countries and it goes under the English Channel if I'm not mistaken. So instead of flying, lets say if you wanted to go to Brussels or Paris from London, you can just opt to take a train instead. From London to Paris it takes about... less than 4 hours if I remembered correctly.

Me & Mimie in the train.

My French Onion Soup that was filled with bread and loads and loads of cheese. Better than those onion in plain water we get back in Malaysia. I know it looks like shit there but trust me... looks can be deceiving.

Duck in Orange Sauce! No one does it like the French.

The Basilique du Sacre-Coeur.

The "view" of Paris from the steps of the Basilique du Sacre-Coeur. It's really beautiful but it was bitch cold and it was a little foggy.

Me and the supposed "view". Savour my face :D

Day 2- 28th January 2006 (PART 1)

Your Future In Europe Conference @ Palais Des Congres --> Sightseeing

Me & Louisa (China chick) outside the auditorium.

The Debate Panel.

Me & Wendy (Kenyan chick) inside the auditorium during the conference.

The whole conference group at the Arc de Triomphe.

The Arc de Triomphe among trees.

The famous Champs-Elysees.

With shops like Louis Vuitton, Mercedes Benz etc.

Champs-Elysees (facing the Arc De Triomphe) at night. Taken in the middle of the freaking road with crazy French drivers :D

Well, thats it for the first part. Until I find proper internet connection that doesnt get disconnected every 10 minutes and isn't so laggy, it'll probably take me another few more days to do up the Part 2. How sad is that? But for now, make do with these pictures first yea?

Heeeeyyyyyyyyy!!

Haha.... hey everybody! It's been ages I know. I'm now in England... Or more specifically some little town called Reading. Anyway, life has been alright here but then again, there's no place like home is there? Life here is really different.... Mainly also because I've got no one here picking up after me anymore :P (yea yea yea... spoilt brat so what? Kiss my big ass). *sigh* Life can be considered easy here but not when you're behind a whole term like me. I've probably done more work in 3 weeks than I have for my whole SPM. Hehe... I bet Cikgu Lily's probably rolling her eyes now (if she still reads this).

As much as I hate to admit this, life here wasn't what I expected it to be at all but it's been fine. So much for roaming the whole of London and everything. Apparently my school is smack in the middle of a freaking jungle so yeah... I've seen more sheep and horses than human and it takes at least 1/2 hour to walk from the main house to the freaking main junction. Oh well... will post up some pictures of the place and stuff.

I'm so not used to being surrounded by so much females! LOL... What more to say females from different parts of the world. There are German, Latvian, Nigerian, Kenyan, Saudi Arabian, Chinese, Japanese, British and Malaysian girls here. My room mate is a really funny combination too. She was born in Saudi Arabia, raised in Holland but now lives in Birmingham, Britain. Like woah... and she has 10 siblings all together and I thought people actually knew off contraceptives. LOL.... I shouldn't be so mean. Hehe... Anyway, picture post will be coming really soon k?

I'm missing everyone back home and the way of life of home. Hehe... everyone, do keep me posted about what's going on back home. Heading for Paris tomorrow for the weekend so there'll be even more pictures coming. *hugs*
