Many people hype it up and of course everyone has their own opinion of it. I didn't think it was anything great, to be honest.mezbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16450639860657867772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600258.post-8512625411788045212009-09-28T12:14:57.635-04:002009-09-28T12:14:57.635-04:00The architecture and location of your hotel is gre...The architecture and location of your hotel is great :) <br /><br />PS: I'll freeze and pack some biryani with me whenever I plan to visit Paris.nadiahttp://thepurplejournal.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600258.post-8684741598455890432009-08-10T09:51:49.250-04:002009-08-10T09:51:49.250-04:00Geeki: Looks like EVERY one loved Paris bus us!

I don't know.. everyone hypes up Paris so much and I found it just like any other city ... only found the French very arrogant.<br /><br />In fairness, the BBC's European correspondent did once call Paris "Europe's most over rated capital" ... then again, they are the British.mezbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16450639860657867772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600258.post-2130053969210898322009-08-10T09:32:17.112-04:002009-08-10T09:32:17.112-04:00Man I loved Paris too!

I thought it was very clean and I felt quite safe everywhere I went.

I saw a dish with some snails and tar tar and it was 35 euros!<br /><br />Plus we would see the restaurants and the entrees would be 17 euros, not to mention the main dish. <br /><br />Anyways we didn't ALWAYS eat at McDonalds.. just breakfast as that wasn't included in our Paris hotel. That also, for one day. Lunch was usually something small veggie/seafood that found nearby, until we found the halal place. Forgot what we had for dinner on our first day. <br /><br />I wasn't too impressed with French cuisine, to be honest. I was very, very disappointed with France as a whole. Other than the Eiffel tower and Louvre, I wouldn't see any reason to visit Paris. Now Switzerland and Italy, not to mention London - they were something else!mezbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16450639860657867772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600258.post-73782916062340888262009-07-31T06:56:25.037-04:002009-07-31T06:56:25.037-04:00Mezba, I can't believe you went all the way to...Mezba, I can't believe you went all the way to Paris and ate at McDonalds!!!! <br /><br />My view of Paris was a little different. I saw it clean and beautiful, not dirty at all. I could spend hours walking around the Louvre and outside, the architecture is so romantic, the whole feeling in the air there is romantic! For us London was more of a culture shock. I want to go back (to both) :(<br /><br />Which did you guys like better, London or Paris?'liyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09682312785305176809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600258.post-62530951346578899552009-07-27T23:25:36.247-04:002009-07-27T23:25:36.247-04:00Boba: yup, 25 euros.

It was a busy thriving city but with a murky underbelly! (ok I feel writerish now).<br /><br /><b>Solace</b>: thanks for the comment. Definitely London is a must see. Paris, well, it has the Eiffel tower, and nothing much else. Definitely an overhyped city.<br /><br /><b>Miss Specs</b>: well as long as it was veg or seafood we tried it but most of Parisian food was meat (they have something called tar tar that is raw meat!) and SNAILS!<br /><br /><b>Suroor</b>: :-)mezbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16450639860657867772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600258.post-56307148308286997862009-07-26T04:01:51.503-04:002009-07-26T04:01:51.503-04:00Very interesting!Very interesting!Suroorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07151400258859526990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600258.post-51539688735458834872009-07-26T03:40:36.365-04:002009-07-26T03:40:36.365-04:00Wow, seems like Paris was nice to you but you didn...Wow, seems like Paris was nice to you but you didn't see much of French Cuisine, eh!<br /><br />I would've eaten bread from random places instead of fillet-o-fish ;-)<br /><br />The pictures... c'est magnifique!!

Paris was peaceful, and so beautiful. Maybe it was because we went in the winter that it wasn't so busy? <br /><br />25 Euros for biryani?
