Second thoughts on Paris

I might have just been tired from the 6+ hour trip but today wasn’t that bad. Not only did I get down enough of the French to communicate with other beings (vending machines are great when you don’t know the language). In 3 hours of fast paced walking I saw everything without even looking at the map. First the Eiffel Tower. I must say that took away my breadth for a minute or two, the thing is just there, you don’t expected it at all, and than… boom right in yourfavce. Than a walked a bit more, and guess what I found. I also saw the Louvre and the museum of modern art.

On to a new topic: my hotel. When I first got into the hotel things looked fine until last night I saw the bathroom. Hmm… for someone as spoiled as me it was quite an experience. The door does not have a lock or anything to keep it shut. That’s alittle odd when you consider I’m sleeping with 2 girls. Oh and the bathroom is probably less than 5×5 feet. I can’t really move in there. And I don’t think things will get much better… next stop is 6 person dorm with 1 shared bathroom.

Paris

After waking up at 3am to call someone (which never happened due to a little voice in my had that said not to) I woke up at 5 to catch the train to Paris. The trip was very beautiful although not breath taking, I guess I just don’t see anything of interesting in France (despite all the love crap people talk about). Once arriving here I noticed that I do not speak French and people don’t speak that much English either. So taking my clothes to the dry cleaners was more that a task today. I think I used every language I know and hand signs to try to explain I wanted to get my clothing washed by to-morrow. Everything here is also tons more expensive. In Germany a Fanta (which I love here) was 80 cents here, in Paris, its sometimes as far as 2 euro.

Other than that, things are pretty good. I haven’t spent any of the money so I’m planning on doing some shopping to-morrow.

France here I come

Yesterday I visited Hiedelbeg (the closest city to where I lived). It
