Day 2 in France. So the itinerary for the day was Versailles, a place which was out of Paris. I kinda dislike the metro system they have here. Not forgetting the RER. Signboards/ directions were very very confusing. Because we went on our own, there were only some random people who passed by that could help us. Okay, so we assumed we were on the correct train to our stop and then from there we had to board another train. Until dad asked this lady who spoke every single word in French. ARGH!!!! That woman!!! I told her I didn't quite understand. Je ne comprend pas!!! :(

First of all, my French was pretty basic
Second, she spoke sooooo fast
Third, I don't think what she said was 'textbook' French. Pretty informal,huh?

Then, she kept pointing us the directions thru' the map on the train. And, too bad, I had to pretend I understood. Dad was like: Wah, luckily we asked her. And I went: Yalar, u ar, rush so fast for what? Keep pulling me oni??? =.=''

Went to ask around again and finally got on the right train this time. Phew! HUGE sigh of relief there. :) Changed to another line. Finally, Versailles!!! Woohoo!!!

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that we had to forgo breakfast cuz Versailles is DARN HUGE. The gardens were just..... WOW. Spent practically the whole day there. :)

Then at 4 pm-ish found some place to fill our empty stomachs. LOL. It was margarita pizza and erm roast chicken, I think??? I ordered apple juice which came in a bottle but wahlau, the minute I drank it, I was in LOVE with the apple juice.

By the time we got back it was already close to 8 pm. Rested at some benches near Arc de Triomphe. Mum went to buy mineral water cuz our room didn't have water. No coffee-making facilities. No nothing. Had to survive on mineral water for 3 days. Hahaha....

And due to the fact that I had an assignment, which to me did not make sense at all because I thought we CHOSE(group-based learning,individual assg) the wrong company(Management), I had to stay back and do my work. Plus my aching soles and sore feet. Definitely not a good idea for me to walk. As usual, parents not happy. What can I do???? Unless someone agrees to piggy back me lor...which I don't think is a good idea after all. :p
Look at it for a while. You'll see Arc de Triomphe. This was before I stayed back in the room.

So, guess what? I gave up on management and decided to do my Economics tutorial. Suddenly, dad came back with the baguet for me. He went off to Arc de Triomphe after that. See how he spoils me??? :D

It was not bad. Ham and cheese. But I didn't really like the fact that I had to bite so hard. Haha...




Anyways, mum and dad came back with McD because apparently it was the nearest. Unless you want sth from the cafe that sold the baguet. :) Btw, they don't call it McDonald's here in France. They call it McCafe. Slightly different. Otherwise the food is pretty much the same. You know, if I hadn't gone to Paris, I wouldn't have enjoyed the McChicken. The ones they have in M'sia... bleh... not as exciting.

Hmm... guess that's about it for Day 2. Next up: Eiffel Tower :D
