This blog is simply about anything that my mind tells the fingers to jot down. Many times they come late at night, others at work and occasionally in the toilet heading for that big drop. Most entries are about life in the "land of chocolate" and things that I love to do - mountain biking, photography, snowboarding and a bit of running.

Paris again

Sitting in the airport lounge waiting for the flight back to Zurich.


I was back in Paris for the 7th or 8th times, but this time only for one night. The plan had been to fly in the morning and returned in the evening, but I’d then decided to go a day ealier (I wasn’t that keen to wake up so early in the morning and rush to catch the first train to the airport.

I arrived at CDG airport at around 7+ PM and immediately took the train to the city. Since it was through Trocadero area, I got off at St. Michael Notre Damme and, as I normally do whenever in Paris, to have a kebab in a halal take away (can’t remember the name) in the area. Not the best kebab in the world. Possibly the worse, but I guess the atmosphere that keeps pulling me there. Plus, it’s halal!

The time I reached the hotel it was already 10+. Wow! As expected, it was such a nice hotel. That explains the price hmm .. (EUR 145, the most expensive I’ve stayed in Paris). It still puzzles me why I had always been booked in cheap cheap hotel (like EUR 80 per night with basic facility) in the past whenever I came here from Malaysia? 3rd class treatment? May be.
