Paris

Finally we come to our last destination before going back to Malaysia :((((((

I have no intention at all to write about this place because I want to come here again and again and again!! Maybe because when I was in Paris I felt like I am at my own ground and place. Talking about the food here especially desserts and patisseries, it was out of mind, kebab; never tasted better than this before. Eiffel Tower? Love it to death :0 By just looking at the pictures you will know that we spent almost a day at the Eiffel Tower itself because we really really love to be there. We were freezing when we were at the highest part of the tower but yes absolutely we enjoyed every moment up there. If you are going here by yourself I think the best is to buy online ticket so that you don't have to queue in order to take pleasure getting up the tower. You can view the picture below as your guide to buy the tickets. From my experience, it doesn't necessary to get to the top of Eiffel because the view is more fine-looking and clear if you are at the 2nd floor.

The Avenue des Champs-Élysées is our next destination. It is a boulevard in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, which runs between the Palace de la Concorde and the Palace Charles de Gaulle, where the Arc de Triomphe is located (I will tell more about this later). It is known for its theatres, cafes and luxury shops, and for the military parade that takes place each year on the avenue on 14 July to celebrate Bastille Day. The name is French for the Elysian Field, the paradise for dead heroes in Greek mythology. The French proudly nickname this world-famous avenue "la plus belle avenue du monde" ("the world's most beautiful avenue").

As the Champs Elysees is a famous avenue and a top Paris shopping and nightlife district, with many restaurants, movie theaters and clubs, the transportation within the city is also important. So for us to get to there was very easy; we always use metro and the stations’  name is  Champs Elysees Clemenceau (line 1 and 13), Franklin Roosevelt (line 1 and 9), George V (line 1) and Etoile (line 1, 6, 2). You can choose and look first at the map which area you want to go and get down from the metro at any of these stations. Among the brands exist at Champs Elysees are Banana Republic, Abercrombie, Zara, Lacoste, Louis Vuitton, Hugo Boss, Sephora, Mark & Spencer, Yves Rocher, Tiffany & Co, and many more that will make you amazed, just prepare your cash and credit card :0  Not to forget if you are here, try to find the famous Laduree. Until now I cannot forget how delicious their macaroons taste and i really recommend this cafe.

Now let us go to a monument that is full with tradition and history; Arc de Triomphe, the most monumental of all triumphal arches, it was built between 1806 and 1836. Even though we can see many modifications from the original plans, reflecting political changes and power struggles, the Arch still retains the essence of the original concept which was a powerful, unified ensemble.It’s located at the western end of the Champs-Élysées. The arches whole decorative style is entirely of the tradition of sculpture from the first half of the nineteenth century.The triumphal arch is in honor of those who fought for France, in particular, those who fought during the Napoleonic Wars. Engraved on the inside and at the top of the arch are all of the names of the generals and wars fought. There are inscriptions in the ground underneath the vault of the arch which include the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I where the Memorial Flame burns and have made the Arc de Triomphe Paris a revered patriotic site. Just around the corner of this Arch you can find a kebab restaurant that serve appetizing and tasty kebab known as Gyros :) If we stay for a few nights more here I think that will be my breakfast, lunch, dinner, and supper hehe. 

Other than these, we also went to Musee de Lourve ( one of the largest museum in the world), Disneyland, and don't forget to go shopping at the famous outlet La Vallee Village and thanks God that we prepared few more luggage :) By this time both of us were very sad because that was our last destination in Paris :( Hopefully we can make a visit as soon as possible to Eiffel Tower again!!
