Travels - France : Paris

Image
Mrupupup went to France. Visited their famous capital Paris! "Pa-yreee" Well, Mrupupup kind of disappointed by the hype over Paris. It is a nice city but it is not safe and kind of chaotic. The plus points of Paris are the beauitful world class museums, palaces, nice churches and shopping for branded goods. The downside of the city are the people which maybe stressed out over life, creaky old metro trains, crowds of people from all over the world, and small hotel rooms in the city centre. Nevertheless, Paris is still beautiful in its own way. Enjoy the photos of Paris.                      Eiffel Tower under Mrupupup's finger tips                            Eiffel Tower has shrunk!!!                                  Old style Citroen France car                        Famous Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris      Inside the Notre Dame Cathedral - Beautiful Glass Windows                                     Invalides Building                The Eygptians gave

Mrupupup now realise why people say Switzerland is a beautiful country. Mrupupup visited Lucerne and Mount Titilis in Switzerland. Really envy the Swiss people. I wish I can ski down the slopes every weekend and take a walk along the beauitful Lucerne Lake. Think words cannot capture the beauty of this land locked country of high Swiss Alps mountains and lakes. Only photos and videos would help to capture the beauty that Mrupupup witnessed in his trip to Switzerland.

Mrupupup went to Germany and the Black Forest region in the area. The most memorable part of the Germany trip was the trek in the Black Forest region in early morning hours of 6am just to see sun rise and the Cologne Cathedral! Amazing that a group of people would wake up so early in the freezing cold of the morning. Do check out the photos of Germany.
