Don’t you hate when you can’t see exhibits well because there are too many tourists? Today, I went to Versailles with my group and my dad came too. The Versailles castle is gorgeous like the other castles that I have visited such as Vaut le Vicomte. However, there were millions of tourists and therefore, it […]

Montmartre is full of rude cashiers and sellers! On my last trip, I asked a cashier how much the painting costed and she got angry at me for asking me that question! People have actually always warned me that Montmartre is the wost area of Paris – Full of rude people, pick-pocketers, and homeless people. […]

It’s rainy. It’s gross. It’s so yucky outside! My dad arrived in Paris yesterday, and I am with him now, in the hotel room. We spent almost two hours in the world’s massive museum, Musee Louvre. There are so much paintings and sculptures in that museum that it makes me so dizzy and it’s so […]

The wind is making my hair move all over my head, but it’s wonderful to feel the cool breeze. Even though there is very little sun, seeing the clouds overcastting the sun above the ocean is beautiful as there are all kinds of grays, blues, and purples in the sky. The grass vibrates along with […]

Did you know that muffins do not exist in France?  When I gave them a box of muffins a few days ago and told them that I am going to make them for them as a speciality from US. Believe or not, they have eaten them only perhaps once in their life! Today, we made […]

I just gotta talk about the European cars! First of all, SUVs are almost NON-existance in Europe! 90 percent of the vehicles that we see on the road are small, VERY petite cars. I have to say that many of them are a touch smaller than my Toyota Matrix car! The mini vans are actually […]

Now, I know that you may wonder what I did yesterday afternoon since I spent only ONE damn hour at those museums. Yes, I am still PISSED off! At least I’ll be in Paris for another 10 days after my group leaves. We went to the Latin Quatier, a very popular area for young people. […]

If you’re someone who has passion in art and takes millions of hours to just to look at one painting, don’t bother going on group trips! I spent ONLY ONE hour in the Musée Louvre and the Musée D’Orsay! I am SO PISSED that I didn’t have enough time to look at everything that I […]

No matter where we are in France, everywhere in France is GORGEOUS! I went to the Loire Valley today and it’s about an hour and a half by train from Paris and it’s also in Tours, another major city in France. This city is magnificent. The buildings are truly charming and I felt like I […]

Why do fruits taste better in Europe than in United States? I had this wonderful “mystery” fruit yesterday and became so obsessed with it that I ate another this morning. I finally asked my host sister tonight what is that fruit. She said it’s a peach! WHAT???? It does NOT taste like peach in US […]
