What Really Happened!
- from CDG airport, went to Paris Gare Nord train station with other two girls (sarah and aznita: met them in the plane ^^)
- Paris Gare Nord sgt besar, so ktorg sesat here and there time nk cari counter to activate our Eurail Pass.
- Managed to find the counter, but found out that train to Geneva for that evening was fully booked!
- We are stranded in Paris with no place to stay for the night!! how?! at this point, berdoa je la yg mampu..few thing in our mind; cari hotel for the night tp last min booking, sure mahal gle la kn!
- We booked train to Geneva at 9am the next day with few other night trains.
- Since ktorg lame sgt kt Nord station, Noelle decided to come to Nord and meet us there instead. She came with her friend Cheng (a very sweet Vietnamese girl studying in Paris)
- We say goodbye to Sarah and Aznita and told Noelle everything that just happened.
- Cheng offered us to stay at her place for the night. Fuhhh...thank u very much Cheng!
- Went to Cheng`s at Alforville, Ile-de-France to keep our luggage. (Noelle bought day pass for public transport for us. cost 9 €)
- Had kebab for lunch at St. Micchelle. (price range for kebab:4-12€ depending on size and type-ktorg beli 1 kebab and share je sbb portion diorg besar!)
- Walked to Notre Dame and went in there (free admission on that day!-last sunday every month)
- Cycle to the mosque. (we used velib, its free for 30 min)
- Went to Eiffel tour, but since the que was very long,we decided to climb the stairs instead;) cost;3.5 €
- Hang out, walked around and had cous-cous for dinner.
- Total cost (without food; 12.5 €)
