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.

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

The whole conference group at the Arc de Triomphe.

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?
