In France 2

“So-called life is, walking from one heavy fog to another.”---Written in the morning of my birthday.
We passed the first French quiz, we passed the mid-term, we went to Paris, unconsciously, we have been here nearly 20 days. In these 20 days, I was not here over 3days. Where did I go? Paris!
The biggest advantage of Europe is its beauty. So is Paris. We take the Europe train which is better than we expected. On the train our group are separated. The people sit around me are all strangers. There are two man side opposite to each other. One is young, one is old. One is casual, one is formal. They are so close but don’t see or talk with each other. The only common point is that both of them are using the white earphone. That is interesting. There is a man sits near me, he wants to talk, but the old lady is more interested in newspaper and I don’t know much french, so he ask another young lady to sit beside me. These two people begin to talk. Both of them like talking. I draw the profile picture of that young lady, when I finish it, she told me in English that the old lady wants me to draw her (actually the old lady didn’t say that :P) But I still want to add one old lady in my stretch book. That old lady is very willing to be drew, and also join their conversation. The environment is just like the beginning of a French movie, the only difference is that we are not meet again. Everybody goes to their destination and live on their life. And I, travelled nearly 8 hours, start my Paris story.
We arrive in Paris in the midnight. The wind in Paris is cool. As soon as we went out of the train station, we can see the light Eiffel Tower immediately.
The hotel is …not tiny, it is very tiny. But I don’t know why that I feel it is bigger and bigger when I am living in it, haha~ On the last day Drew, Christina and Maura they found a cheaper and more classic hotel to live in. The hotel seems named “Mary’s hotel”. To tell the truth, I like its name, hehehe~
Paris is the city covered by metro. During out trip, we spend about 20 euros to buy the 3-day unlimited traffic ticket, we can use it both in metro or bus. I think it is really beneficial. Also, you can ride bike which is also cheap.
When you are in Paris, the places you must not miss are certainly Louvre, Eiffel Tower, the Arch and Notre Dame. There must be other wonderful places, but we just went to these main places, of course, take metro!
I don’t want to repeat so many people’s word again that “Eiffel Tower is wonderful, Louvre is wonderful, the Arch is magnificent ….balabala….. But I want to tell you that these places are really deserve your visiting.  
I, Liona and Ben are one group. All of us are not the people who like to rush. So we enjoyed much nice scenery. We even also went to one of the free market. I didn’t find what I need, but liona bought two stuff. When we pass the business street, there is parade. And so many people stand beside the street. I see from the bottom to top, but my horizon never touches the street. I always think that I am not a short person. However, at that time, I joked to myself: Ok, let’s face it, je suis petite.
Three days pass so fast when we are enjoying Paris. I still can remember that we passed several streets to buy some food. I still can remember that we have picnic on the grass in front of the Tower. All these memory will not gone with the wind, they will stay in everyone’s mind.
