You know how I was all excited about Malaysia a couple of months back well this time I’m going to FRANCE!!!!!!!
If you judge me and my travel habits on that one sentence you could be mistaken for thinking that I’m a globe-trotting-country-whore… but I’m not.
This trip to France is educational as I am going with school. I can’t wait. Thinking about it I’ve been waiting for this trip since I was in yr 10 (2005) when the school had it’s first overseas trip to New Caledonia and I decided not to go so I could go to France 
So with the trip being only 26 sleeps to go you could say that I’m excited.
Today was our last meeting before we leave and we went through travelling tips and safety procedures which included what to do in the event of a terroist attack… Stuff we all need to know in order to be safe.
I have a list of things that I have to buy. It includes a digital camera… I already have a camera… a polaroid one which is awesome but I have yet to take a picture of my friends even though I’ve had if for over a year. Next time we have some awesome event (like going to the batch) I will bring it and take photos that I’ll be able to look back on and say what ugly hair I have.
I’ll probably do like a MILLION updates on this because it’s going to be possibly the most exciting thing in my life. I’m off to go and look at my list of awesome stuff I need to buy.

hey novia, nice to meet you and thanks.
aha i see you’re going to France..heheh which part ? I was also on study trip, went to Foix, Toulouse, Andorra and Paris.
a normal baguette with a drink would cost 6-7euros in Paris, if its a set meal then it will be 9-18euros for 3 courses. If you’re up for fine dinning, 20-30euros perhaps but i heard it worth the try since France is all about fine dinning, try foei gras n escargots. the meal’s price displayed are usually included tax, so you’ll be paying as what the price shown.
I cant really suggest any restaurants to you because the ones i went was not satisfying hehehe, but places like arc de triumph n la fayette shud have good food n nice ambience restaurant of course lil pricey.
snacks like crepes and kebab are available everywhere with affordable prices * of course don’t convert ;)*, but please becareful of pick-pockets, some of my mates belongings like cameras n moneys were stolen.
But if you’re on free and easy in Paris, pre-plan your activity before the day, time passes real fast before you notice. maps are really good and handy. if you could, visit both day n night for arc de triump n eiffel tower, good view! traveling in groups of 20 will help speed up your way to the top of eiffel tower plus there’s group discounts, per person for 10euro. be emotionally prepared for racist remarks because some of my friends were discriminated by the locals, maybe its because we’re asians. but other than that is no probs.
wont be posting france trip soon due to hectic studies tho i do have pictures of the trip in facebook haha . if there’s anything i could help to answer your enquiries, let me know. i’m please to provide you infos :).
nice to meet you again!
p/s : moisturizing cream/lotions are essential !!
Foie gras!! I’ve heard that its one of those foods that you “HAVE TO TRY” before you die. if you don’t know already, its the liver of a goose but extra fatty because the farmer force feeds the goose to make their livers extra yummy. maybe i should’ve made that sound a little nicer. but apparently the texture of the meat is silky beyond your imagination or something like that so maybe try it. if you really want to that is, cos i’m pretty sure its really expensive. and super rare as well. haha, racist comments. i don’t know if i’d care if i was in a different country. say something back to them in chinese. and it doesn’t matter if you don’t know any chinese swear words (like me, which is totally ironic considering we’re chinese and everyone else in school knows at least one swear word)just say any chinese word really REALLY offensively. but don’t. because they might punch you. walk away and look slightly offended. or say something positive and completely irrelevant like “vive la france!!”. depending on the situation. haha. aww.. i wish i was coming too. oh yeah. don’t forget to take hand sanitiser.
