Woohoo ! The sandwich again !!
The sunset that day was breath-taking. It was the most beautiful sunset I even seen. The whole sky was in red, glowing red and the moon looked as if it was out of a book. Oh ya, and the first time I saw so many passengers looking out of the window. Too bad that the sunset was at the other side, if not we could have taken better pictures.
It was 5 pm when we reached Finland. We have to be fast since we have to rush for the bus to the city centre so that we can catch the train on time to go back to our town.
In the end, we are walking so fast that we walked to the wrong gate. We are to collect our baggage at T2. But the problem was that there is no turning back, no way to head back. Luckily, we were no the only one. So, we had to get out of T1 and walk all the way to T2. We thought that it would take some time for the personnel to let us into the luggage area in T2. In the end, the group in front of us just walked into the luggage area through the exit gate and there were no one stopping them so we just followed them.
But come to think of it, it was quite stupid of the airport. I mean we alight at T1 so we should collect our luggage from T1, isn't it?
Nevermind, at least we caught the bus on time.
Reached the centre at 5:50pm and ran for the train at 6:00pm. The next train is at 8:00pm so we cannot lose this.
2 and half hour train ride back was delayed cause of some maintainance problems. Finally, reach Lappeenranta at 8:45pm.
Sad to see that all the snow have melted away :( It was warmer now. But I don't like it.
Day 4 - 20/11/09, Disneyland, Val D'Europe
Moved to another accomadation so that it will be nearer to the disneyland.
However, we lost our way.
In the end, thanks to the help we got, we found it at last XD
My second time to a Disneyland. Had to say that Paris Disneyland was disappointing.
The attractions are mainly focusing on young kids so young adults like us have nothing much to enjoy. Furthermore, they just don't have the atmosphere.
there was a loooong queue full of little kids waiting for their turn with Cinderella. Actually, we queued too but backed out since it was paiseh to fight with the little kids.
Adorable, right?! They love to dress their children as princesses, almost all the children there were dressed up.
I was contemplating whether to get this or not. HAHAH
After Disneyland, went back to Val D'Europe, the shoping area that we went yesterday. Spent the rest of the day there, looking for the wallet my brother wants.
The stuffs over here are cheaper by about 50€ since it was out of the season and have limited varitey. But Longchamp is exceptionally cheaper over here since it's a Paris brand.
Mainly are stuffs for family HAHAHA
Day 3- 19/11/09
Finally finally finally ~ we received our bags in the morning! We can charge our camera, change into clean clothes and have nice bath today !
This was our little island. HAHAH! Cause there was no table, chair or even a hanger so we just have to put it like this.
Heading to the outskirt of Paris. We are off schedule and everything was pushed by by an hour.
Reach the Palace of Versailles.
Awesome painting. Some of the painting looked so real as if it was 3D. My neck hurts after looking at it for too long. Wondered how the artist drew it ?
Hall of Mirrors
Huge and majestic garden they have ! I'm so tired after waiting the whole palace, worst still we walked the same route 3 times because we could not find the way out. I'm just relief that I don't belong to the royalty. It must be hard for them.
Do I look like an Parisian with the beanie? HAHAH
Took an hour ride to Val D'Europe. Since the palace was at the west and this place was at the east. Val D'Europe is a shopping area, factory outlet at the outskirt of Paris.
Actually, we were stopped by a guard because photographing is not allowed. But we still took some secretly.
Heading back to the city.
We board the train at a very bad time. It was the peak hour and the train was totally full of people. I'm squeezed to a corner and couldn't move at all. Worst still, all the people are taller than me and I couldn't breathe well.
Then, at one particular station. Some random guy threw a radio into the cabin and pointed at HZ. Both of us are clueless at what just happened. The lady beside us then asked the guy 'Is this yours?' and he said no and pointed at HZ. Then she asked us and of course we said 'No'. The guy just kept staring at HZ and walked further and further away.
At that time, I was scared stiff or rather WE . I seriously think that the radio is a Bomb. Am really scared, furthermore, it was under my leg leh, of course scare lah! I just kept praying for it not to explode, I didn't even dare to touch it or step it. Wanted to get off at the next stop but it was too crowded to even move an inch.
Then, there was this lady came to stand between us and she secretly kicked the radio towards me. She must be thinking that I didn't see it, too bad I saw ! So, I kicked it back towards her HAHAH.
Luckily, it was just our imagination and nothing happened when we got off.
Went back to all the attractions at night since it was very different during the day and night
At every hour, the eiffel tower will sparkle like diamonds
The weather was just perfect over there, chilling.
I really wanted to try this but too bad it was under renovation. They are changing the cabins into covered ones.
Reach back very late and slept at 2:10AM!
