PARISSS

I was so curious about Paris as it was known the city of excellence and romanticism  . I was waiting at airport for our flying to  there . It was the center of fashion and famous for its perfume.  Before going there I was requested to buy so may presents for my relatives. When we came the airport we started to look for our hostel.  As the France has one of most developed metro in the world , finding our hostel was so easy. While going from airport to Paris l met with a girl whose name was Alexandra. She was the most crazy and strange girl in the world. We came to Paris with her. While passing metro she said that you could pass border of metro without buying tickets as there was no control in stations. Even there was no control around station we couldn’t undertake risk. Anyway meeting with that girl cost a big loss for us. If you ask why l will tell you later .
While going Paris by bus we could see Eiffel Tower  at a distance. It made me so excited . Our hostel was so nice . Staying in a hostel was also different experience for me. Because you meet with people from different nations. Even l live with people from different nations it wasn’t various. Hostel seemed to me places consist of people almost from the whole world. I really liked. We slept immediately to wake up early in following day. When we went  outside we realized different atmosphere of people. They were so elegant  and well -dressed. But streets are like each other. Colors, sizes and shapes of apartments were all same. Everywhere was so compatible with each other.  Firstly we went to Palais Garnier. It was the most fascinating opera hall that l had ever seen. I was charmed with its smartness, perfect excellence of detailed organization. Garnier deserves to be clapped many times. After  that l went to  Champs- Elysees which is the most famous street of Paris.
Your eyes immediately focus on smartness and elegance of people walking there.  Restaurants , cafes and stores are excellent. It could be better if the prices were cheaper. I tried cookies there and fell in love with them .After  that we walked  alongside Seine River . The river on which there are lots of boats that put a jerk in the city.  While walking alongside the river l could see the Eiffel Tower. But when I came to near it , my excitement was on the top..  Looking its top from the down was giddy and amazing. I went up  to 2 . floor . The city was under my feet with its small but excellent appearance. I was able to see glorious structures, cathedral  and a city preserving its history. I stayed there until evening to see lights of Eiffel  . It was more magnificent than morning.  I really didn’t want to return my hostel until morning but l had to  .On the third day we went to the Louvre Museum . As l am fan of Dan Brown l wanted to see places taking places in his books. Da Vinci Code was taking in Paris especially in Louvre Museuum.
       So l was impatient to see there.  In fact l have so many attractive reasons  to go there. E.g : my nickname is Mona Lisa . As you know that original painting of Mona Lisa is also there. So l thought it would be nice experience to take a photo with that painting. There are also various masterpieces and works of many famous sculptures , painters. It was such a huge museum that it is impossible to see every part of it even in one week. Paintings were so magnificent  that it was so difficult to skip one to see others. There are works  from most of ancient civilizations. In addition to those , Louvre Pyramid was also perfect. At first seeing a huge crowdedness in a museum was shocking. Generally museums are known as boring places . But  everything was attractive and atmosphere is so lively , interesting there. So l understood why it was visited by majority of tourists . It really deserves to get attention .
 In fact there are many places that l should tell such as Notre Dame Cathedral , Moulin Rouge .  However, lastly I want to mention about my worst experience in a foreign country that l will never forget . As l said that Alexandra said you didn’t need to buy tickets but we didn’t do it until the last day. We saw that most people in stations didn’t buy tickets and skipped border by jumping . In the  station that we would  get on metro lastly ,we didn’t buy tickets and passed from the door  and while went forward a bit we realized that there were officers controlling that station . And conversation between us and officers  were like the following dialogue:
Officers:  bla bla in French
We:  Sorry in English please
Officers :  50 Euros for each of you
We : why every body is passing  like us. it is unfair and bla bla………..
Officers : Passport please
We : Passport ?? ok how much did you say ?
Officers : 50 Euros
We: Here you are ( immediately)
Officers  : Isn’t there any discount because we are just poor students
Officers : One of them said that it could have been possible  if there hadn’t been any cameras to control us in the station
PARISSS l will never forget youuuuuuu J L
