France Part 2

I’m Back from the land they call “romance”..

Some review of my trip to France then more pictures. Well I was in France for a total of 11 days even thought I was gone from the 6^th to the 18^th of February, but the whole of 6^th and 18^th was spend in the air on the Emirates airlines. Gees, I felt cheated by the organizers; oh well..

Anyhoos, it was undeniably an experience of a life time! First, it was my first time on an air-plane, second I get to go somewhere over-seas (other than Singapore, Penang, Pangkor) haha. When we touched down in Paris it was about 12.30pm French time (ETA 7.30pm Local time), we went straight to the hotel (it was a budget hotel) but even so it was in a better condition than a 2 star hotel here in Malaysia, they have breakfast served in a budget hotel. However, the toilet/ bathroom wasn’t located in our rooms but outside (community wash-room) *laughs* Temperature at that point was at 2degrees Celsius. COLD

Alright here come the pictures, according to days (starting from day 2)

DAY 2

Arrived in Paris, went to hotel to check-in and then head off to the streets to do some side-seeing. The hotel’s name is Formule 1 under the Accord Company.

During the 2^nd night we went to “L’entrecote” for our dinner, it is pronounce as (Lon-Tron-cot) this was a restaurant that we did a research on base on our feasibility-studies subject prior to my trip to France.

The famous menu this restaurant is well known for is “steak and fries” with their famous butter sauce.

The appetizer – Walnut Salad with horseradish sauce

The main-course – Grill-steak sirloin with fries

The beef wasn’t all that awesome, but the sauce made up for the lack of flavours. The cost of this set meal is 20Euro.

DAY 3- DAY 7

We headed off to Toulouse early in the morning, took a bullet-train that took us about 5hours to get to Toulouse. The train was fast, but it was really cramp

There you go, the space we had in the train, look at the top those are our gigantic luggage.

Oh when we arrived at Toulouse’s Matabiau station we headed to our Bus that took us to another place call Foix which is 2 hours ride down south from Toulouse. BUT before we departed we saw what we call a cat-fight, in this case it was a tag-team French cat-fight. What a spectical!

! Welcoming Party for us! And I have the video to show.

This is part of Foix, it’s a quiet country-side, very peaceful. We stayed in chalets about 30minutes away from the University

Well, I don’t need to explain this picture do I? Its snow!!

LOOK!!! ROSEMARIES!!!!!

Crazy people eating on a winter snowy nite!!

This was the Chalet I stayed in, in Foix..each building holds 2 chalets with 2 bedrooms, 3 in 1 dining, kitchen and living room. It was cozy and nice, but when you start cooking, your shirts will smell of the mixture of what you cook.

Snow wars, man it was like we never seen snow before…come to think of it, most of us never seen. Haha, but it was a good experience there. Our hands was freezing cold after throwing so much snow at people and attempting to avoid any ammunition on ourselves. If this was a tactical war game, we need not worry about the limitation of ammunition. SERIOUS

Okay, its way over 1am now, i will post Part 3 after this weekend..stay tune
