Thats basically one of the
very few french words i know. Other than shouting
OMELETTE DU FROMAGE out loud like a mad person, i think i'm pretty sane at the moment.
As a celebration to my 200th post on this blog, i've decided to talk about my trip so far. :D
I can give better descriptions now for i have alot of time to spare.
for now.Had a long,
long 15 hour flight from Klia. Had to transit at Doha, Qatar. But, nontheless, Heathrow airport really shocked me with its crowd of people. Like
, freaking shit lotsa people! We're on our own on this trip, no guided tour of any sort. So, we've decided to travel the grounds of London using
The Tube, London's version of underground LRT, or MRT or something else similar to underground transportation. :D
Reached London and stayed over a night at a bed and breakfast hotel.
I have to say, for something so pricey, The MacDonalds Bed and Breakfast gets a total thumbs down for me. The rooms were really really small, the bed made some awfully weird noises and the toilet smelled like horrible pee. Ugh. But the english breakfast they served was definitely very nice.
The next day, we left for Paris! Took a 2 & 1/2 hour train ride from London. I was so excited because from the number of books i read, Paris was described as a very beautiful place and definitely worth drooling over.
And i was verbally shocked. Not only were their place beautiful and mesmerizing, but the people of Paris are so obnoxiously
RUDE. They are so unfriendly, rude and seems as if they have their time of the month all the time. They should understand that we tourist are people that can't really understand your language. Is it so hard to speak a word of english? And to grumble in french when we ask a little bit more of questions? Boo you, french people!
ASIDE from the horrible people, the place is VERY VERY beautiful. The top of the Eiffel tower was one of the most amazing sight i have ever seen. French bread and croissant?
Magnificent. I've never eaten that much bread in my life! Paris is also a paradise for architecture pupils. Most of the buildings in Paris are old-ish looking and sorta have that vintage look to it. They don't have many tall buildings for most of them are the old old buildings. And the weather here is really great! Even thoughg its summer time and the temperature at 10 degree and below, with strong wind blowing i might add, but so totally perfect! I never enjoyed having wind blowing in my face that much. XD
The last night in Paris, we decided to go see the country's popular
cabaret show. I was pretty chirppy about it because i've never seen a cabaret show in my life. Dinner was provided and the show slowly started. I have been warned in the beginning that there were gonna be some nudity involved, but i
never expected it to 99.99% nudity! And it's not the guys that were 99.99% nude,
it was the girls. I really salute them, i really do. But i just find it pretty annoying that they find every moment and opportunity to come out topless and start showing off their boobs. And honestly speaking, i don't think its a dance show of any sort, it's down right a strippers show, because all they do is take off their clothes and start dancing around. I would have enjoyed the show more if the guys were more better looking and not so
ugly looking. Yea, they had the abs, biceps and all, but their face just ruins it all! But, it was definitely and experince to me, but i don't think i'll go back for another.
Owh! I forgot to mention this very funny thing my brother and i saw on our first day in London. We were walking around some streets near Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly. I think it used to be the redlight district (still is actually) because there were so many sex shops. So we were walking, and we came across this shop that had loud music booming. It was Lady Gaga's
Telephone by the way. So, my brother and i peeped through the shop to see what on earth was going on, and we just got shocked from what we saw.
Two man in briefs, dancing on the table. I think i saw poles too. And the audiences were
men.We coludn't stop laughing after that. And after that very incident, everytime i hear
Telephone now, i'll just burst out laughing.
Well anyways, i'm back in London now and just came back from a tour around London on an open top bus. Went to madam toussauds too. XD
I shall stop for now. I've been using this little keyboard for far too long. It's time to go for dinner.! XD
Don't mind the bad grammar, i haven't got time to correct it. :D
