Castles are quite magnificent, aren’t they? When we watch Disney movies such as Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, and Snow White, we dream to live in those castles. Today, I got to visit a real castle for the first time, Vaut le Victome. It’s a very beautiful castle with water around it just as we […]

Yesterday afternoon, as my group was heading to the Louvre Museum, we realized that we were missing one student! Therefore, my chaperone sent my group alone to see the Louvre Museum, and my chaperone went back to the train station to find the student. (We took the train to the Louvre). When my group arrived […]

F*** the president! The american dollar is becoming totally worthless! I miss the old days when we could earn more money and buy products cheapily by just flying to another country. I remember when I was little and how excited I got when my allowances grew by just going to Canada. This trip to France […]

Maybe the foreign countries just love to make the tourists’ lives more difficult. Yes, they really do! Anyways, at least I am just […]
