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 […]
Most Expensive Dinner Ever @ Le Bar a Huitres
The blog title says it all – I don’t recall we ever spent that much on a meal, so this got to be the most expensive we ever had. How did we ended up here? It started on the very first day of our arrival in Paris. We were at Opera area when I saw […]
Le Bis Trot 30′ in Paris
If you’re in Paris, you will never be short of 3 or 4 course meals offered in every corner of Paris city. In such, I must say these aren’t something to be missed especially when they come within means of 10 to 16 euros per set. The streets opposite to the Notre Dame, or St […]
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 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 […]
