Back when I was 15, I dream of going to Paris, perhaps, inspired by french language, or Lovers in Paris – a drama I watched way back then. I heard that Paris is one of the most romantic city in the world, and is known as the city of love. I’ve been imagining myself walking alone in paris, while enjoying a breathtaking view and perhaps listening to music. Fantastic isn’t it? Now, it’s my chance to make my teenage dream come true. Paris, here I come! 😀

My Paris vacation is the best! I spent most of my time walking along the seine river and champs elysees. Be it night and day, you will surely love it. It’s just sooooo amazing. I can’t explain it.
The only thing I dislike in paris are the vendors in Sacre Coer, since I’m alone, girl, small, they literally forced me to buy their items, they didn’t let go of my arms, I’m not someone you can force. So I made a scene. I screamed and jerked away. You cannot imagine my happiness when the police came and they all run.
Aside from the expensive transportation, expensive food, expensive water, Paris is perfect. Haha
I love Paris no matter what, but only next to Tokyo. Because of lack of toilets in public areas. 😀
