A bit of tips to France! Bon voyages!




This is me, outside Musée du Louvre. If you doesn't know what it is, I'll explains further. This is located in Paris, France where many famous artists' artworks were placed here. See the building behind me? Not the pyramid.


See, it's actually an U-shaped building, very huge museum, exhibiting many arts in it. Now you know how many artistic person in France. Oh, Mona Lisa is inside. I didn't went in as I heard from my brother, you can't go near it. It's far away from you. Well secured. In another way, I'm not really interested and don't even know how to praise an art.

Anyway, I'm missing this country so much. Still remember the first day I arrived till I'm home in Malaysia.


I did not do much shopping till I found this, and also a pair of shoe from Victoria. A french brand of sneakers shoe. Mine is orange red. See the phot below, that's the shoe. Tigger is a birthday gift from my man. Excuse me.


Just to share some tips while traveling here.

1. Maps!
2. Learn some simple french. (They are hardly able to speak English)
3. In Paris, don't go for street gamble. You'll never win. Those people you see gambling is a scam. They're in a group.
4. Spend like it's your home currency. If you keep converting, you get nothing. You might only travel to France once.
5. Eiffel Tower keychain as souvenir. Act like you don't wanna buy after asking price and leave. Eventually they'll give you even cheaper than you imagine!
6. First time travel to winter country? Bring proper jacket! And scarf! And winter hat!
7. Beware of people coming to ask for funds. They're pick pocket.
8. If anyone comes to you to sell stuff like holy bracelet or funds, just walk faster. Otherwise you'll be surrounded and force to pay for 20€ per bracelet and you lost your belongings. Don't stop walking.
9. If you're lost, ask around or go to nearby attraction place if possible then use the maps to locate yourself.
10. Do some research before traveling. You don't wanna ended up coming back and say "I should have done some research so i wouldn't miss out any nice place".
11. Use a bag like I used in the photo above. You don't wanna use sling bag over there because this is much more easier to carry! And safe!

Point 10 did happen to me. I missed out nice restaurant. In France, all I did was looking at their menu and dine. Bad idea. If you read across in tripadvisor, I do give feedback. The un-best restaurant I dined in, Chez Clement Élysées. Bad service I experienced.

Anyway, for those who are going to travel soon, have a safe journey! I got to prepare myself for my final later. Last 2 papers and I'm graduated! Yoohoooooo!!
