After a week
full of turkish food, never ending sleeps and a fantastic time in Paris, no
wonder I'm still struggling with the post-vacation syndrome. It's so hard to
even wake up. Luckily the weather is getting better these days. No more rainy
and gloomy days por favor.
God, let the
Belgians have some sun please:p
So... first
I visited my sister who lives in Belgium and then went to Paris by train. It
was my first time in Paris and I was alone. That's something I decided on when
I was on my way to Malaga for the training. You know when you're having a long
bus trip you tend to think more. What you are doing with your life, what's next
etc. So I was thinking that I started to enjoy being alone on the road,
searching for places, or even asking for directions. You lead your own way.
That's something I once used to be afraid of doing. Travelling alone. It might
sound unappealing, or not fun enough to some people. But this Paris trip
changed my mind.
I spent
almost 3 days in Paris -believe me it includes getting lost (so many times),
missing the train, feeling lonely sometimes and a terrible rainy weather.
BUT
Deciding on
your next stop on your own and managing your time however the hell you want,
spending as much time as you want staring at your favorite paintings...
I mean
Worth it!
Louvre
Sainte Chapelle
Notre Dame Cathedral
Oh, and it
started so nice...
(Notices
that the hostel she is staying is called "Paris Korea" after telling
her all Korean roommates that "Why is everyone here Korean!?")
Luckily they
were so nice that they just smiled haha
I attended a
3-hour walking tour on my second day and our guide gave us recommendations on
museums and food besides telling the history behind the sightings.
dat moment you say "wtf it's too tiny!?"
lol
The struggle
was real!
Finding a
relatively cheaper place with decent food was impossible. As you're just
wandering around the touristic places, the only place that you can find is a
cafe where you can have a cup of coffee for 2,75 euros if you don't sit at a
table, if you want to have a seat and relax you have to pay 5,50 euros for the
same coffee. Haha that's true! They charge you for occupying a place in a
literally empty cafe:D
Or even
worse, you can end up in a restaurant full of tourists where the employees hit
on girls in a disgusting way (like air licking(is that a thing?) right behind a
girl who was asking something) I guess that's the only image about Paris that I
don't wanna remember. Oh and the homeless guy smoking on metro -_-
But in the
end I managed to try some macarons, a crepe with lemon, and snails! (not a fan
though)
Now I want
to go again and spend more time enjoying the museums and the fantastic view of Eiffel Tower. You definitely need at least 5 days to visit all of the main places. Sadly I
could spend only 1 hour in Orsay Museum. And missed my train because I couldn't
leave Monet's paintings. I totally disagree with this little girl who was
commenting on his paintings loudly (like "That's just nothing!")
right beside me. She made me laugh so hard.
Can't help
but think that some kids are so lucky! When I was her age, let alone having the
chance of shouting at the paintings of Monet, I probably didn't even know what
a museum is! haha
