Paris, the paradise.


Today I wanna show the world, the most visited city ever, Paris, ohh Paris, I dare say there is no words to express how much I loved this city when I visited it, seven years ago already. It is a city which made me feel as if I were the main actress of a South American soap opera.





My travel to this city started with this picture ("cancelado" is a Spanish word, obviously coming from English: "cancel" and "ado"). So I had to arrive at Paris in a very poor elegant way, travelling for 24 hours by bus, after knowing that my flight had been cancelled, smelling everybody's sweat... the first step I put in Paris's pavement I realised that it wasn't necessary to buy a expensive perfume to mask the smell, because I got in love with Paris since the first moment, and I was raptured by its fragrance.





Paris is lovely, it is delighting, beautiful, stunning, in every corner, it is a city which shines, In short, I recommend everybody to visit Paris, at least, once.





The Sena River is amazing, to go in a ship at night, seeing the city with so many lights... The Eiffel Tower (go up to the third floor, keeping an eye on your wallet of course, and watching all the city)... incredible... (as you should know, it is forbidden to commint suicide from there).  








The Notre Dame Cathedral, the Arc de Triomphe, going for a walk trough the latin quarter (which is, regardless, full of French people)... going to see where Amélie was recorded, Moulin Rouge. Going to visit the Sacre Coeur...










Other thing you can visit is the museums...even people who don't know how to appreciate the art, like me, are quite impressed.





Some free and funny stupid things you can do there are:

-Make a picture with the soldier which is patrolling the area, if he is not in a very bad mood.

-Sitting on a statue of Napoleon before a guard shouts at you to get out of there.

-Sing the name of the tube station after it is singed by the voice of the tube.

-Go up the escalator in the Louvre Museum which moves in the opposite direction to leave the Japanese and Chinese tourists with a poker face.

-Keeping an eye on your bag in every place (this is not a stupid advise) because maybe, this city is somewhat more insecure than other European capitals.




I think Paris is one of a few cities which is loved by everybody, another thing is French people... which is said to be rude, cubbish, ill-mannered, bad-mannered, ill-bred... however, I was very lucky because all French people I spoke with, were very polite and glamourous, and that made me think that maybe that is a cliché of people who would wish to be French.



Another thing that I love about Paris, it is that it is full of artists who know painting, drawing..., you can see then in every street, and they usually offer you to portrait you, or to do a caricature, I think they are a very good souvenir which will make you remember this magic city.






And this was, the last picture of the trip.



Have you visited Paris? Is there anyone who thinks that this city sucks? What do you recommend me to visit if one day I have the chance to go there again?

Los Angeles is not an angelical city







Today I wanna write about a city which, from my point of view, has nothing, or almost nothing good to visit, let alone to live there.

This city, Los Angeles, I can't understand why it is so famous because it has several important disadvantages.




Who can like a city in which you can't move out of home without using a car? It is all roads, roads, and more roads, and high-roads, and high-ways. So, there is no place there, for people, like me, who love walking some time in our life, without having to take the car. So if you decide to go there, and walk around, it might be you are raped, or run over, I can imagine.




I am not surprised that people are worried about obesity and heart-attacks in that area, they just need sidewalks and get people used to use them.


Furthermore, one of the most touristic things that Los Angeles is supposed to have, it is Hollywood, ohhhhhhh Hollywod!!!! people can think. OMG, just have to see that typical picture of Hollywood, and realise that it is a dry hill, with some brave grass...which doesn't have any pastures for the cows... and with several electric poles, it seems like a deserted and abandoned place.




I am quite surprised that this city is quite famous... I have never been there... and I won't go, unless it is for free and I have nothing better to do because I am in passing...


It seems to be a city of no medium class, either very rich or very poor. And that sucks.


In short, if you were me, you wouldn't visit that city, however, there are many people, I think, that visited this city and liked it, so, I can't give you the advise that you don't visit it. Just say, that I wouldn't be looking forward to go...



Have you ever gone there? Do you think I am completely wrong? Are people from LA so posh and extreme... strange... as they seem? do you think it is a good place to visit for a young sweet girl like me?

Brighton exists.





When last summer I spent a few weeks in London, one friend of mine told me that I should visit Brighton, a small and charming village just 30 minutes by train from London.

The first thing I thought was, what the fuck is that unknown place? I had never heard about it so, a place I had never heard about it... how fuck was gonna be nice for me? And furthermore, I was looking in the Internet and no pictures were very delighting... I thought.





To be honest, I am not a very big fan of London, which is suppose to be one of the best beautiful? cities in Europe, or at least, one of the most important, but I think it sucks a little, it is so full of noise...and I dont know...well, about London I will write in another post. 





But Brighton is, another word, I just got delighted? When I got off the train there, in August, a sunday morning, it is a peaciful sea town, with privilegious sightseen. It is full of tourist, and it made me feel in a calm atmosphere which was full of bohemian shops, with a very interesting and own style. I think, it might be quite similar to Nice, although I've never been in Nice.





Furthermore, Brighton it is a city with a lot of life at night, a lot of clubs and pubs, with a big young atmosphere.





I recomend Brighton to visit in every season of the year or even to live there. In my case, I spent several weeks in London to improve a little my English, and visit twice Brighton, if the time went back, I would have spent all those weeks living in Brighton and I had visited London twice...




Finally, I wanna recomend you a good place to eat there, above all if you like or wanna know japanese food, it is not expensive (around 8-10 pounds). Its name is Wagamama and it is a chain of japanese restaurantes which is in several cities of UK.



All the walk around the seaside is so nice...and it has many places to see, as the Royal Pavillon, many alternative shops, Kemp Town, and Brighton Pier an amazing bridge which I think, a brilliant engineer must have built.






And one big advantage, is that there are many, many, trains between London-Brighton, almost every half an hour...they are a bit expensive...but they run very often. If you wanna save an amount of money, you should ask for a “return ticket”.



It is a pity that I didn't meet any Brightonese, I can imagine that the typical Brightenese is a tall blonde and handsome boy, not fat, with a bit face of bad, and with the skin suntuned... well, I 've been speaking with one old man, very polite, who told me that he had been a teacher of English and a diamond researcher ?? just for 10 minutes, it was my only moment with a person from there...






One thing I didn't like at all..is that they are all so red! Burned! Someone should advise them to buy a cream of 50 of level of protection...or just not to sunbuthe...in the end...they are not mediterranean.



Have you ever visited Brigthon? Did you put it in the map since I showed you, or did you know it yet? Do you agree with my opinion? What do you like and dislike more about it? Is it true that in summer all brigthonese are in Nice and all frog are in Brighton? Have you meet a brightonese which made you loose your mind? Which small place do you know in Brighton that I should visit if I go again? Do you like my pictures?
