Paris, London & Oxford with less than RM5000 Part II
continued from Paris London Oxford with less than RM5000 Note the price Boulangeries & pâtisseries in Paris have prices that differ from one another, by rather big difference. We had pastries at Guerin, a 2003 award winning boulangerie and it’s 30% pricier than another bakery down the street. A macaron at Laduree will cost around […]
Paris, London & Oxford with less than RM5000
I first mentioned my plan to go to Paris and UK with a budget of RM5,000 per person to friends in 2009. They were very concerned and thought I might be a little over my head in this. I decided to take this as a challenge and determined to make my Paris UK trip come […]
UK Paris Trip Part 9 – Finale at Montmartre and Pantheon
Psssstt… It’s our last day in City of Lights. And I decided to go bold fooling around with my camera. I’m pretty sure my photos looked amateur in the eyes of professionals but I must admit, the weather on that day was so perfect (but skin scorching) for taking photos. Our morning exercise for the […]
UK Paris Trip Part 8 – Provins
If you’re looking for a place with strong medieval feel, Provins is the place to go. Pronounced as “PO-VONS”, it can be easily confused with Provence with the same pronounciation. Compared to the latter which is famous for lavendar field, Provins is lesser known. I wouldn’t have known this place if not for the recommendations […]
UK Paris Trip Part 7 – Versailles & Eiffel
Palace of Versailles was the most anticipated agenda of our trip. I had read its history, story of Marie Antionette and seen its pictures online. All these fascinates me and I couldn’t wait to see this place for myself. THAT was.. before I arrived at its doorsteps. We arrived early at Versailles Station and decided […]
UK Paris Trip Part 6 – Bonjour Paris Again
8th July 2011 – After 3 days in London and 2 days in Oxford, it’s time we’re going back to Paris again. Yes, we’re dumb enough to book the flight to and fro Paris, which explained our money wasting Paris-UK-Paris routes. I should have booked the ticket back to Kuala Lumpur from Stansted,UK instead. The […]
Paris & UK Trip Part 1
A quote from Gossip Girl season 4 – “Just as every summer ends, all tourists come home, all dreamers wake up.” That’s the case with me. I finally picked up my laptop and started blogging again. And where had I been missing? I was in UK and France for a 10 days trip, something that […]
14 hours on Airasia X to Paris
I was never gifted with the ability to sleep like a log, unlike someone. (CS is shifting his seat uncomfortably now). So you can imagine my horror when I know I had to spent 14 hours on Airasia to Paris. Worst news? We were assigned to middle seats on a plane, smaller than the one […]
