(A/N: I will write about what happened during my trip in Paris starting from Monday. If you’re interested to read only about the airport stuff and concert skip to Wednesday and Friday. ^_^)
Monday:My trip to Paris started very early on Monday.. I haven’t slept at all the night before cause I wasn’t sleepy and at 3AM I thought it would be smarter to just pull an all-nighter.^^ I didn’t want to oversleep so I decided to just stay awake.
My dad was so nice to bring me to Heilbronn by car. There I waited like 2 hours for my train to Stuttgart.
(coffee by Yormas is DA BEST) xD
In Stuttgart I quickly found the train to Paris and got in. It was so full O_O I didn’t know where to put my luggage! So I decided to just leave it in front of my seat and managed somehow to put my legs in-between LOL I was happy that I’m not fat.. or else I’d have had a big problem.^^
There was a girl sitting next to me… but she was sleeping.. so I kept listening to my music.^^
Then a few minutes later she woke up and somehow we started talking about what we’d do in Paris.
She told me she’d be staying there for a few weeks for a workshop… and I told her about my plans.. When she heard the word “Kpop” she didn’t know what it is.. so I explained it to her and told her a few things.. and she was so interested in all that stuff… I told her about TVXQ, SMTown, Cassies, … even about the stupid lawsuit xD
I gave her kpop songs to listen to and showed her a few videos too.. She said she liked TVXQ the most xD Too bad I didn’t have many videos on my phone..
But the ones I showed her she really liked.^^ Especially Jaejoong and Changmin.. hahaha ;D
The time passed by really quickly.. thanks to her and our interesting conversation. xD
I arrived in Paris Gare de l’est around 12:30PM… For the first time ever I was traveling alone in another country. xD I must admit I was kinda scared. But my friend Maureen ♥ from France was so nice to explain to me which direction I had to go to and which signs I had to look for to find the way to Gare du Nord.^^ (where I was supposed to pick up Bine^^)
I wish my luggage wasn’t that heavy.. it was bothering me when I had to go up and down the stairs.
While going down I noticed a young man running behind me. I stopped for a second to take a breath (the damn thing was really heavy xD) and saw that he stopped too and turned back. I thought: “Maybe he’s in a hurry to catch the metro”.. So I didn’t give much attention to him. I kept walking up the last few stairs.. When I suddenly noticed my hand-bag got a bit heavy. I looked back and saw that guy standing in front of me! O_O and he was opening my hand-bag!!!
I was in such a shock, I didn’t know what had just happened. The only thing he said was “Pardon, pardon” and then left.. I couldn’t even say anything.. I just stared at him til he was gone. “God damn, Paris” was the only thing I could think of. And this shouldn’t be the last thing happening that day.
I made my way to the “Grandes Lignes” and was afraid someone would try to steal sth from me again. -.-
Every black man looked like a thief. (I’m not racist but it’s true that 90% of those thiefs were black..) A lot of people came to me and asked for money.. or they wanted my autograph for I don’t know what. I felt like crying, seriously..
Then after an hour Bine finally arrived in Paris and I felt much saver. xD And I could finally go to the restroom.. I didn’t want to go alone cause of what happened before.. I was really really scared. (In fact this didn’t change until I left Paris LOL)
We tried to find the hotel which took us about 2 hours.. Poor Sabrina had to wait 4 hours at the airport til we picked her up. T_T But everything was new to us.. and the damn ticket we got for the metro didn’t work sometimes. My luggage was stuck between a door once.. then later I got stuck too. LOL
The problem was, if something went wrong the first time you had to wait about 7 minutes til you could use it again. (That way they want to make sure no one cheats with tickets from other people)
But for us who didn’t know it was frustrating. Then there was a guy who helped me opening the door.. *muahaa* he was so strong *___* those arm muscles *melts* I kinda hugged him to get out but I didn’t mind at all. xDDDDD LOL
Anywaaay..
We found the hotel, left our stuff there, went back to the airport where we got lost one time.. and all in all it took so long.. til we finally found Sabrina.^^
Before we picked her up we met Maureen by accident. xD She was waiting for a friend too haha
In the métro then the next surprise. A guy stole a girl's Ipod infront of our eyes!!! o_O The door opened, he grabbed it and was gone.Poor girl almost cried... Once again we were all in shock..
Also when we were walking a lot of drunk people yelled at us for no reason. I didn't know why.. they were so strange..
And because of all that stuff.. I was SO scared to be near guys. And when the next guy walked towards me I immidiately turned to the right... he saw that and started yelling at me. T_T This was too much, I yelled back!! He talked French, I talked German.. who the fuck cares. xD But I couldn't be quiet anymore.. I had enough of these assholes.
We were so tired..
Back to the hotel we checked out the area a bit.. (Our hotel was in the ghetto I tell you.. I've never been to such a place)...
...and found a restaurant where we ate Pizza… For lots of money xD A tiny coke cost 4,50€!!! Ridiculous!!
After eating we went to sleep.. cause the next day we had planned to go to Disneyland. And we had to get up pretty early. ^_^
