Marseille : Melawati Kebab

On Jan 4th, we took the TGV (used to be the world's fastest train) to Marseille. It was a 3-4 hour journey and the view was nice too. I saw the outskirts of the city and somehow it made me feel really calm. Byk gak nampak ladang2 anggur dlm perjalanan tuh. Obviously aa kan since the french drink a lot of wine. Anyways we arrived in Marseille around afternoon. It was lunch time and we were so damn hungry. Giant poyo xnak ngaku lapar budget org percaye perut die kecik aaa. So we went looking for a place to eat outside of the train station and there it was a kebab restaurant. Halal plak tuh. Dah laa gua x katok .. mmg meleleh air liur aaa makan kebab syok abih.

Well, kat Marseille nih there weren't many places to visit besides the church and Palais Longchamp. Actually there's a nice mosque kat sini. Ukiran sume mmg lawa. So gua sound aaa Giant nak gi sane amik2 gamba sume. Si King Kong pon reply " ko amik aa gamba, aku nak gi masjid tuh nak semayang je." Mamat nih boley tahan poyo gak sebenarnye ... gua pon datang sane nak semayang aaa ingat gua nih jahil sgt ke? Asyik amik gambar church je, nanti org ingat aku murtad plak, so tukar sikit amik gambar masjid. Disebabkan x tahan dgn kepoyoran King Kong gua pon xde semangat nak gi coz the mosque is quite far from the train station. So we only went to the church and the palace.

We made a huge mistake actually bcoz we didn't know the train station provided a storage place for people to store their bags. So we went from one place to another with our heavy backpacks. Dayymmmnnnn!!

This is the church. Not sure bout the name though.

The train station is just below these steps.

Termenung jauh. This is Palais Longchamps btw

Posing depan air terjun yg penuh keladak. Still in the palace

Front view of Palais Longchamp. Really beautiful

If you don't know, Marseille is located by the sea. So the scenery mmg lawa aaa, but there weren't any beaches. Cume tanjung tempat bot2 berlabuh.

That night we took a train to Nice. We actually wanted to get a youth hostel in Monaco but there wasn't any. So since Nice is the closest town from Monaco ( bout 30 minutes) we decided to sleep at Nice. When we arrived at the hostel, there was an old lady waiting for us. She knew shit bout English I guess coz I was trying to ask her bout our room and the price, and she was mumbling some shit in French. I just had enough of it .. so I paid the bill to keep her quite. The great news was that we got the whole apartment to ourselves. Siap ade kitchen lagi ( biar x masak pon). Both me and King Kong slept in different rooms lagi. Mmg nyenyak aaa tido mlm tuh.

Tomorrow : Monaco

Paris : Bonjour missiour cibuple merci .. seghabuk aaa

On Jan 1st, Giant and I took the morning train from London to Paris. We arrive at Gare de Lyon around afternoon, took a subway to Barbes Rouchart which was only one station away and there it was, our hostel. So near to the station, our luck I guess. We put down our backpacks and straightaway went out. There was only one place we really wanted to go. You guessed it, the famous Eiffel Tower. Before, We could only watch it on TV or hear about it from people like Nick Gani who have travelled around Europe. Now it was our turn to experience it. When we reached the tower, it was mesmerizing. The Eiffel tower awed the both of us. We did go up the tower but only to the 2nd level, by walking up the stairs btw. We had to take the elevator to the top and the line was just too long.

The weird thing was that up on the Eiffel tower I met my MRSM PC classmate. She was quite close to me back then but we hadn't meet in like 5 years. Qistina Sabrina is her name and now she has changed a lot. Haha. She's a Beyonce wannabe now krohkrohkroh. I'm gonna shut my ass now and start showing you guys some pics.

I don't know whut's the name of the place but it sure as hell looks nice

Pakai jersey PSG sikit

Qist is the one next to me, with her 2 frens. Mamat laki tuh macho abih ngan sunglasses besar lagi tak tahan

Skodeng awek dari atas Eiffel tower. Layan steam sikit haha

This is Champs Illyses. Symbolizes how big the empire was back then

Nih plak Notre Dame. This is like the biggest and oldest church in Paris. Seriously it's beautiful

At the back is the Lourve. It is the biggest art museum in the world. Somebody told us that if we spend 2 seconds at one picture, it would take us one week to cover the whole place. We wanted to go inside but we were out of luck. We didn't know the Lourve is closed on Tuesdays.

We met 2 Asian Canadians at our hostel on our last day at Paris, and they told us that our hostel was really close to Moulin Rouge. We walked for 10 minutes and there it was, Moulin Rouge. Selamat jumpe 2 mamat nih kalau tak mmg lepas bodoh je. Aku ngan Giant tak terpikir langsung pasal Moulin Rouge waktu ade kat Paris until jumpe 2 mamat tuh. The great thing about Paris was that the chicks were so damn hot. I'm not kidding man. It was hard for us to find any ugly women coz they are so beautiful and they dressed so neatly. Gersang je rase.
But Paris is really for people who are in love aaa seriously. Everywhere they were people making out, under the Eiffel tower, dlm subway pon nak make out gak, get a room aaa c'mon man. It came to a stage where it was annoying bcoz byk sgt.
All in all, Paris was a great experience. Just staring at the Eiffel tower inspired me a lot, how the hell people at that time figured out how to build such things? Many beautiful scenaries, not to forget the gurls. The french chicks were superhot. I don't mind coming here one more time, just for the chicks man. Haha. C'mon aa gua single gersang tuh gersang gak.

Tomorrow: Marseille

London : Friday prayers at MHall canceled coz no water

Sorry for the delay but I've been busy doing some errands for the coming Midwest Games 2006. Anyways, on the 29th both Giant and I took the morning train to London. We arrive there around afternoon and went straight to our hostel. After checking in, we went to our room to find an old man wearing a sweater and a tight 'spender'. Giant got turned on since he's gay. After dealing with the Spenderguy, we straight away went out in search for more beautiful views (not to say that looking at the Spenderguy wasn't a great view haha). I don't wanna write a lot coz there lots of pics that I wanna show u guys.

This is the London eye. We didn't manage to get on to it bcoz it was closed on New Year's Eve.


Gua xtau name tempat nih ape tapi lawa sial


This is the Trafalgar Sq


This is the famous Buckingham Palace


If you look closely you can see Malay States written on the stone/tomb/whuteva


I was looking for Regent St. baru terjumpe. This is Piccadilly Circus btw


Asyik2 Giant je gayut .. gua pon nak gayut gak


Bakal menjadi gambar Salam Hari Raya Utusan


Houses of Parliament sikit

As a whole, I like London a lot. The atmosphere was nice even though there was one day when it rained from morning til evening. The people were very friendly and what I liked the most was there was this M'sian restaurant, Mawar.The atmosphere in the restaurant was so similar to the ones in back home. Siap ade awek2 M'sian lagi jage kaunter. But the one thing I hate the most was this thing below. You can find it everywhere in London.

Fuck Jose Mourinho and Fuck Chelsea too. Man Utd 1 - 0 Liverpool. WooHoo.

London was awesome. I don't mind coming back here. I really like the city a lot.

Tomorrow : Paris
