Aboard Eurostar.
We check out rather early so that we WONT be late for the train. The owner of the B&B was so good to give us a ride to the station. ^^ Good guy.
If I would need to go to Waterloo again, I will definately go stay at his place = )
In the train, we thought, THOUGHT we were going to have the 1st class seat cause that's what the lady told me when I bought the tickets.
In first class, you will be served with a 3 course meal. Therefore, we waited for ages for the crew to serve us... but obviously NO ONE was entertaining us. Instead, we saw ppl buying their own lunch or prepared themselve at home.
Mum then went to the capten & asked. Mana tau, the ticket they gave us wasnt 1st class at all ><''//. It was the economical one ><''//
NO WONDER LA!!! I was juz wondering, how the hell the 1st class seats ar like that!! If we were in 1st class, how the hell will the economical class look like? HELL? haha...
The crew then gave us LOTS of breads cause thats what left frm the 1st class seating ><'//. Luckily mum & i werent hungry at all. Havin a glass of juice & a cup of yogurt was enough to fill our stomach + )
The view frm the train was basically NOTHING.
In Msia we see paddy fields, here we see wheat field.. haha... and LOTS of cows, sheeps, goats and dried grass [save for the cows during winter] all wrapped in ROWS.
The houses in France are different as the British. THey looked cuter than the British.. haha...
The hotel that we were arranged to stay in was located at a pretty convinent area. THe subway was just in front of the hotel.
SOmething I must comment about Paris underground.
London has BETTER undergrounds compared to Paris & they are much EASY to understand. MUCH MUCH BETTER FOR TOURIST¬!!!! & Much cooler & cleaner.
As we dont know FRENCH, it was quite difficult to communicate with them. Like chicken & ducky talk... gaga...
The journey to the hotel was SO CONFUCING!!!!
Actually it wasnt as complicated as I mention la.. haha.. As we were so NEW to the place and was so not familar with the WORDS & NAMES & PPL, thats why everything seems to be SO Complicated.
The first French word we learnt was Sortie which means EXIT... haha... YOu always need that word to find your way OUT.
We got to HOP in & OUT changing 4 TUBES to get to our hotel ><''//.
The hotel was really nice & comfortable.
We explored the surrounding of the hotel & find the train station to get to the tourist attraction areas & Of course DISNEYLAND ^^.
We had pasta for dinner.
That's all for the day...

Edinburgh
Just came back from London. Its been a really tiring and exciting week for me.
I think i will update you guys with the Edinburgh trip first.
Well, obviously the whole family went there... haha... And we met this really sweet nice family, the Andersons who happens to be frm Newcastle too.
We first met them in the bus, where the 2 old folks took their granddaughter, Emma and grandson, James to the zoo. They were really nice and helpful. WHen they knew we were been rob, they immediately gave us their number and told us feel free to call them whenever we need any help.
So AS USUAL>.. my mum did call them and told them that WE will always be free to go over to their place to paY them a visit. Mrs Anderson even promise that she will teach me baking ^^.
Going to call her tomorrow afternoon.
As for the trip... It was fun & great... Nothing much to say I guesss.... cause right now i am really TIRIED ><''//
