Europe 2

PARIS

This is the cruise on the canal in Paris. The man you see photographing there seems to be in the water.....haha...there's actually an extra railing and extra seats over there. I'm sure you all didn't know that there is a miniature version of the Statue of Liberty along the canal, which was given to the French by the Americans as a "thank-you present" for giving the Statue of Liberty to them (US).





The view you can get on the Eiffel Tower.













The Arch of Triumph, built a year after Napoleon Bonaparte's death in commemoration of him.











Bugs Bunny is given a SMART BIKE!!!!!!!

I got sick after all these thanks to cheese nuggets and stupid "French" fries (the cold wasn't caused by the Belgian fries). Today night, I bought the diving watch I now wear to school. Today was the only day we had time for shopping....the whole tour was given 2 hours to shop-ONLY (thank goodness!!!!!). We were the only ones who bought stuff and we got a discount...if you lived there, you wouldn't even need one! My watch costs $65 (French Francs) and if you convert it, it's worth RM300+!!! Europeans must find everything really cheap...Well, my mother went to the shop thingy to get the tourist discount. Everyone already left to go to the diner. My aunt with the lifesaver jacket was supposed to come back and bring us to the restaurant. Unfortunately, when she came to "escort" us there, she lost her sense of direction.......*gasp*. There was a 2-way split road. My aunt couldn't remember if it was to the right or the left. We finally found the diner because we walked almost the whole road looking for it. It was a French restaurant. I remembered that that was the first time I ate escargots. Before that, I couldn't stand the thought of actually eating snail-like creatures. The escargots came with butter sauce with garlic.

LONDON
"When you're bored of London, you're bored of life"....haha....how can I EVER be bored of London....we Malaysians have been blacklisted by the English already thanks to several suicide bombers and terrorists who were believed to be trained here, RIGHT HERE in our country. Therefore, I am HONOURED to have entered England and saw London with my own eyes. At first, our tour guide was so afraid that some people from our tour would not be able to enter London and so, he told us the procedure on how to come back to M'sia if we were prohibited to enter. Forunately, our whole tour was allowed to enter, even the man who looked like a criminal. We took an underwater train to London. In the train station, I remembered 3 odd boys who went around trying to get into people's pictures while they were taking photos. They came up behind my aunt in one pic but I can't post it as it was deleted......The picture above is the "Wheel of Money" or better known as the Eye of London. This "Eye" is a money-making machine as you have to pay 50 POUNDS PER PERSON. One capsule can fit up to 50 persons...and the "Eye" is always full......
I'm sure ALL of you will think that the pic on the right is the famous London Bridge....but NO! This is the Tower Bridge. London Bridge is just a plain small bridge... the Tower bridge can unfold to let the cruise ship under it pass....how nice. I feel so naughty..............look at the oval shaped building in the distance... not me...

















This is Big Ben!!!!!!
leaving isn't really nice so I'm not going to stress on that......
My last meal there (dinner) was Wantan Mee.=P. The ground floor of 1 Utama New Wing reminds me of the London Airport. hahahahahahaha. NONE OF U HAVE BEEN THERE!!!!!!!!!!!



oh yea....that unidentified place I mentioned I forgot abt in the previous blog is Germany =).
