Paris ~ first big trip

okay.. this starts to bore me. Paris that is. It's my third time here. We arrived at around 6.40 in the morning. After having breakfast, we went straight to the hotel. I booked this hotel online. It was said that it's a 3 star hotel. I was expecting something like Seri Malaysia. Splat! That's how i felt when i saw the hotel. It was in the little india of paris where each and every shop must have an indian city name like Madras Saris or Pondicherry Boucherie. But that was not the reason, it's the hotel itself. I have to agree that its location is good. Near to metro... very near actually... too near, and also near to two train stations. The room was... urghh.. you have to experience it to know it. The bed was made so that you can only sleep straight and not be able to move left or right. The bathroom was facing the main street, so you have to choose either to open the window to let the fresh air in or close it to have your privacy. Then when we were leaving that morning to explore Paris the guy behind the counter said something like " You.. Leave Key Here.. You Understand?.. Key.. Here!".

So we went up and down Champs-Elysees, and somehow, Toh and Brian managed to convince me to go to the Louvre Museum.. which was surprising since even my mom didnt manage to do it when we came in 1999. Oh i just love being underage. I dont have to pay to enter the museum. All i need to do is show my passport and presto! i can get in. We went to see Mona Lisa and tried our best to act as if we enjoyed all the other paintings on the way to and from Mona Lisa.

Then we decided to go to Quartier Latin, where, our professors said the things there are cheap. I don't know where they got that idea. Or perhaps they were just trying to test us, to see how far they can con us ;) And unluckily, we were trapped in a supermarket there, because all of the sudden there was a heavy downpour. Maybe what John Dindlebeck said in 1999 was right. We brought the malaysian rain to france.

When the rain stopped, we went back to the hotel to smayang and rest a little, and we went to Moulin Rouge. Ahahaha. We just took pictures outside and rushed back to the Metro because i felt unease with the atmosphere there. It's a kind of place where you can even get AIDS by just breathing the air. But then, 'some of us' four decided to hang around for awhile. So only me and toh went back to the hotel. We had a nice little chat that night. And when the clock showed 11 pm, we got quite worried since the 'some of us' were still out there somewhere in Paris, in the dark. But they got back safely that night.
