Rome – life in the ancient city

Haven't this table lamp by silent words, not only because of the work and various arrangements of heavy, also because no writing mood and enthusiasm, I think this kind of mood and enthusiasm is very difficult to automate the conversion, but requires its own efforts to mobilize.

Just come back from Europe, feeling quite a lot, if not timely write something to sum up, tourism in little wonderful screen fades as the mind, that is, just leave a regret. Since childhood I was in Europe have a strange desire, not only because of its beautiful environment, but also because of its landscape, its level of economic development is also relatively high, the marriage registration, wedding photo, continuous preparation and put three wedding feast, and experienced a continuous three months after the training, after two months of preparation, finally, and his beloved wife together on the journey to Europe.

After 14 hours of long flight, the aircraft landed at Rome Leonardo da Vinci Airport, since we are tours, all on your own, I have always thought that tourism is the most important things, regardless of where to go, that's enough money and being able to communicate in the language, all other issues are not a problem, but Italy really touched the language issue, because Italy development level is relatively low, there are seven countries of Western Europe's poorest, so the quality is relatively low, a graduate of the University is not a lot, mostly in College, high school graduation, so understand English is relatively small.

One out of the airport will encounter this problem, the border police didn't know English, but better, our document comparison is complete, procedures are more complete, he finally got our release. In the fast lane to the hotel, the met from Naples, she has taught us how to free riders, because European trains, cars are pure self-help, got in basic that no one cares, slightly long train tickets may be someone, but if it is found that is several times the amount of the fine, in the next few days we will experience a free riders, which we will mention later.

The legendary famous Super Mini station, the next question appeared before us, it is each to a new place appears, is to find the hotel.

Fortunately I had already set before the hotel, and a map of the hotel, in the vast sea of humanity in quickly finding the hotel really is not easy, because the hotel is near the railway station, it is relatively easy to find, take two steps road. Here we know Chinese people living in more happiness, to at least live a much larger, we live in is 530 euros 4 nights, room may be less than 20 square meters, bathroom even smaller, up to 5 m2, shower place up enough to go around, larger than we are many, but really don't know how they are, this is known as the 3-star hotel that is our hostel accommodation standards, but the room is fairly clean and basic are very complete.

It is worth mentioning there are elevators, because Europe generally compare protection building, built in General will not be demolished buildings, elevators are subsequently new clothes, so are relatively small, up to three people can sit, and our country various modern elevator cannot be equated, elevator operation is relatively complex, is not used, because they are the second layer is our first layer, the first layer is nothing.

Because of the time difference, the evening feeling sleep for a long time, because Rome later than Beijing time six hours, in our local eight o'clock, Guangzhou is already in the afternoon.

After getting up, in accordance with the original plan, we intend to do Snake's coaches, from this perspective, Europe is ideal for tours, since it is the world's tourists think, pickup bus to give one example, he can go directly to the attractions and his line covers all the most famous attractions, in addition, he is Chinese for you to explain the way buildings and famous attractions. In addition, the famous attractions there are various language of interpretation, which I will mention later.

On the second floor of the Snake's buses, cars slowly started to Rome in our front blowing, uniform architectural complex is a picture before us, there is also a Chinese with headset, this more bearable.

Our day trip is to compare the famous Spain square, people's square, wishing, Venice square, Bobby Keith Villa Garden, etc, so as to go to Spain square, said it is square, and we are not the same in China, at least to a much smaller, and indeed because history is too long, relatively old, appears to be a friend of mine said to Rome is look ragged point that's right, it is the people's square, the place is more open, but are showing European charm, come from Spain square, just, and therefore does not feel anything new, but there are two things or attracted my attention, is a golden statue, HA HA, in fact, not a sculpture, a moment that we know, because the sculpture sudden smile, we got, trying to take photographs, to give it money, so we leave that to the Bo Keith garden.

In fact, sometimes brilliant not a famous attractions, but rather to reflect its character and style of a place, Bobby Keith Villa garden.

This attraction is the ancient Roman nobleman of one of the most eminent generation where there are large, we rent a bicycle, walking for an hour before they go out, there are a variety of beautiful architecture and sculpture, really make people forget to return, at the same time very flower Exposition, painting exhibitions, this garden is the first day I was impressed with the best local, although to Europe before we did not know it, or even do not know why the sculptures, but it reflects the EuropeanComfortable and relaxed way of life and the beautiful nature and cultural landscape.

And then there was the promise pool, on the wishing pool there are many stories, but for us, there are two points that are memorable, the first is that too many people, the second is next to a wide variety of wearing clothes of the artist, you take pictures, about its landscape is not going to appreciate.

The wishing pool, there is a church, this church is not known, but it really is after the jump, because it is too ambitious, too complicated, it has been said that the European tour is a journey of the Church, because the Church is so unique, we followed a few days to see the Church also scares us.

Following that we discovered in the way the Church, it is very high, the feeling that at least 50 metres, built entirely of stone, is said to have built hundreds of years, the top of the ceiling and wall paintings full of stories of the Bible, it is said that it was from the pen of a people, as local people too many feel are making art, so many works of art on the street. The church next to 8-10 pillars supporting the Church lives, is one of the prayers. At the time when we went in, they sing the Bible songs coincided, Westerners were believers, sometimes we just don't understand, like why they can't figure out why we do not believe in anything. However, I think in any case, it is a traditional, West of the church history and doctrine itself also directs people's behavior to do good, and also to maintain the normal operation of the entire society.

Then to the Pantheon, it is the second century b.c., was built by a very great project, we were very surprised that this temple was hollow, go in the middle there is a hole after seeing the sky, this may be a symbol of God and the day is with you.

As can be seen from the Pantheon, Rome from generation to generation for heritage preservation, as well as authentic.

Venice square is a very ambitious architecture, this is the former Roman City Hall Office, feeling like the Chinese Government agencies, however, give me the impression that really was too complicated, the Venice square portrait sculpture I see at least 10 000, this is a huge project.

Read Venice square has gathered in the evening, we decided to have a real Italy meal, drink the wine of real Italy.

So to the Rome train station, next to a seemingly upscale restaurant, think Europe is a place where Caesar money, but since you are, do not leave a regret.

Come in, a waiter served us sit down, plug in, here I am really happy face all over Italy, cool it with sculptures, each to the Chinese are top model, the waiters to grow that really don't mention, too handsome, it seems all to Italy tourism man is to do a bear attack preparations, as well as preventing wife derailment, Oh, a joke.

We have a pizza, a macaroni, a Italy, there is also a dish, add half a bottle of red wine, Italy has spent a total of 30 euro, it appears that the consumer nor imagination so expensive.

Advantages and disadvantages, however, or mixed. Italy's Pizza, red wine really is good to drink, he has many kinds of taste, I was really the first time a drink red wine was intoxicated feeling that had once been drunk, but not intoxicated. Unfortunately the handsome guy does not know English, but better, he found a know a little bit of English and we exchange, fairly smoothly. Is the comparison difficult to eat macaroni.

Back to the hotel, on the Internet, but want to find Web pages do not support Chinese, but also no Chinese input, all TV also is Italy, it seems that the Chinese people or less, but today we have met many people in Japan, Japan's are backpacker, worldwide travel is common, followed in other parts of the met more people in Japan, this will be mentioned later.

September 15, 2008 fine Monday, Rome

We live in a hotel is the breakfast package, breakfast on the YELLOW BAR downstairs, which is a 24-hour open BAR, BAR like this is really a little less, in Europe, essentially over at seven in the evening, all the shops are closed, leaving a wide range of wines places to eat, or Chinese people live more tired, it's only life!

There are many choices for breakfast, but no matter what, there will be milk, I'm still recall the taste of the milk is pure milk, wonder in our national milk like a nothing.

After breakfast, invite just get acquainted with the work of the United Kingdom beauty has shades, continue to sit on the Snake's coaches to continue the journey today.

Our bus ticket is the two-day, 15 euros a person, the price is not cheap. Want to know the Metro single 2 Europe, Rome's many attractions is to walk, because the city is very small.

Today we have three of the destination, the Vatican, Castel Sant'Angelo and the ancient luomadoushouchang, originally meant for two days the three spots go up, and never thought the day would go over, that also has produced Rome third days lost.

But still plan to catch up with change, sometimes temporary small changes still very necessary, from the results, some of the attractions but nice changes in those places, because it depends on what you want to see.

The Vatican is a European symbol of a culture of excellence in the Church, said it is a country, or just a church, it attracted a large variety of tourists visit the complexion, indeed for tourists to shake the feeling.

Vatican City is located in Rome, the area was only 0.44 square kilometers with a population of 1000 people, is the world's smallest State. The Vatican's famous attractions are two, are attracted by the Vatican, St. Peter's Cathedral, there is the Vatican Museum.

St. Peter's Cathedral square is magnificent, spectacular, thousands of Western-style sculpture stands in the Plaza a week of cylindrical, each is a real size, each with different.

At the top of the square isLine up the flow of people, probably more than a dozen minutes by line, also after a security check before entering the Church.

St. Peter's Cathedral is the world's largest church, is now the headquarters of Christianity, the current Pope lives here, not only in this way, when we went in also found a few years ago has just died of the remains of the former Pope, for the Church's magnificent and gorgeous really is unable to describe with words, but for its connotation, as for the Christian faith and its relative lack of historical knowledge, cannot understand.

About visited more than an hour, the Dome Church ready to see a panoramic view of Rome, but because too many people and give up.

Beside after eating lunch are attracted to the Vatican museums.

Vatican Museum there really is a lot of baby, but mostly to the theme of the Bible story, so understanding of background knowledge is very important.

But don't worry, there are automatic interpretation is that you can solve your troubles on this, but unfortunately commentary is in English, to do with it.

The Museum's most dome murals by Rome's three famous painter Raphael, da Vinci, m-painted bright Qi, on the inside also some small stories, such as Rafael will result in the death of the 37-year-old, Christina, Michelangelo is because head to paint more than three years, resulting in a 60-year-old beyond 30 years (live 90 years old) can only be en-head, never bend back, inside the Museum is too much, it is worth mentioning the Michelangelo of "final judgment", the painting embodies a Hall roof, at least a thousand square meters is so big, the artist is really great, and while it was painted, but the following look like in the air, it is really amazing.

The Vatican just go out, then in the adjacent St. Angel Castle and Italy at the Supreme Court as a picture, then run bucket beast field.

Here I mention of private cars in Europe, Europe's most hatchback car, many are only two seater, including good sports car is a two-seat, a little more than a car and the other is for the convenience of stopping, like the two seats, how do you stop will not be exceeded, but also tests technology to drive out, some simply open your before and after the roof come out directly.

Fighting animal field not imagine spectacular nor claims to hold the Majesty of the 5 million people, I feel even worse than the Majesty of our warriors, but because it is the ancient Roman city in a symbol, so as many Romans love, and glory.

Fighting animal farm or retains its original appearance, as if no processing, in fact, the history and heritage should in this way, otherwise why should it be called heritage, not like many of us were refurbished, but lost its original charm. It is the ancient Royal family to entertainment and public venues in ancient Rome for some slaves, prisoners in this mutual slaughter, sometimes killing man and beast, in accordance with the current view is very cruel, but was just like a movie so frequently, maybe a lot of things are used as a natural right, their real status but will be ignored by most people, but at that time, historical background, he always has his existence and popularity of rationality.

Fighting animal farm was built in the 2nd century b.c., it was a very expensive project, could not imagine the great wall of China than it to thousands of people, cannot help but luxurious sigh of Chinese civilization in the history of strong degree absolute is world leading.

It's also a more complex construction, I do not say that anyway, the whole structure is now the largest stadium.

Three-day attractions in this way are we get two days, because the hotel is set in advance, so that means travel cannot to premise, this also means that you want to arrange a day in Rome.

Here mention mobile, now home to the only global roaming abroad, you can also signal, but the cost of its expensive, $ 12 for a minute on the phone, the phone 6 $ for one minute, the SMS also have 2 meta-1.

However was able at GPRS, after a search and consideration, we decided to go to the third day of Tuscany.

Rome on September 16, sunny Tuesday

I clearly remember, Guangzhou has a building called the Tuscany, there is an advertisement, if lost, I hope that is in Tuscany.

Today, we came to the real Tuscany, but also real lost.

The trip will have various changes, especially tours like this time of Tuscany, the first sitting on Rome's subway, I feel better than Beijing's oldest that article, with Guangzhou is not better than, but was quickly, directly to a special sitting to suburban bus, English named cotral.

In this process, I would like to thank the two men, one for an Office in Rome, teach us how to do the subway to the cotral bus station, in fact, he himself does not know, but because of the many people do not speak English, he used the Italian help us ask the other person, then we drew a picture to teach us to, when you say: "WELCOME TO ROMA!"

, Came to Rome for a few days, the first to feel the Roman hospitality and enthusiasm, I think it's really a lifetime of unforgettable. But Rome was not to go, because you can repeat viewing spots really is very limited.

Another is a student of Romania, he is teaching us the COTRAL bus station by car, although the results prove that it brings us wrong, but still very grateful.

Although today don't see very specific spots, but really realized the real Rome, truly European.

We would like to go a volcanic Lake LOGO LAKE, but then Debby's to a FRACATI village, this is one of Tuscany's representation in the village.

That is the village, is in fact a wide variety of villas, gardens and parks, the European countryside of leisurely comfort unconcern life upheavals to us, in fact, we worked hard for half a day, not just want to live this life, but in most parts of Europe, this wish has already hadTo achieve.

Play almost, to go back, but I can't find them back to the car, it will be in big trouble, this place basic no one speak English, forget it, saw a marked cotral flag car turned on, the car really put us to the subway, haven't bought a ticket.

In this process, one that we are in Italy elderly tourists, feel that we may not know the way, has pointed to the Metro station to us into the subway, we pointed out the location of the bus, the thought really is grateful to the people here.

In the evening, at the railway station, next to the prestigious Fortune restaurant I ate a long lost the taste of Chinese food, however, thought strange or eat in China.

September 17, Florence fine Wednesday

After breakfast, we take the train to the art of Renaissance Florence, in the first place-.

Here I would like to mention the European train, because Europe itself, every country is equivalent to the size of our province, so the train take a walk is a national, but its expensive price. We sat Eurostar, which is the best and fastest train speed reached 300 km per hour to Florence 1 and a half hours, even to 38 euro per person, which is equivalent to 380 Yuan RMB.

To train station, the same is to find the hotel, but this time even more, the hotel is found, but was told there is no room, but we are well ahead of even money first, the boss shook his head and said: because of the credit card system is broken, so there is no record that the lives of people are on a first come first served basis, but better, he helped us to find another hotel to see a site after I think that the General conditions, to determine their own to find one, then dragging luggage to find ten minutes, found a very good 3-star hotel, a night 120 €.

Florence is very small, which is a town size, walk an hour to walk over, however it is the birthplace of modern civilization, also known as the commercial capital, famous restaurant with GUCCI, DIOR, LV and other famous brands in this also has great shops, Florence leather is very famous.

Our trip to Florence's purpose is twofold, first, the Cathedral of our Lady of flowers and the Uffizi Gallery, but as time went on, only the Virgin Cathedral of flowers, the feeling is shocking, is visiting Florence city, as well as in Otto River.

Thursday, September 18, sunny Venice

Breakfast, also take the train that have been sitting around for more than two hours, when trains run at sea for more than 10 minutes, after a lovely sea-view, we finally arrived in the Shui Venice.

In this car, I had the privilege and several Japan students sat on a table, although I don't speak Japanese, they do not speak Chinese, but we got chatting to each other in English, it seems that English really is a world language, its popularity far beyond any other language, although the Chinese Mandarin.

The few students is also a way of coming from Japan, travel route, the same basic and we, the difference is they want to stay in Venice, 3 days, while we wait for the day, students or false more, want to play soon play long, think of so many years of student life really is a bit of a waste, never think of extra.

Those who did not know Japan Yao and Liu Xiang, the three men had the only one seen the Beijing Olympic Games, it seems to us very important national issues for them, only a small part of life, and not just Japan, many foreigners who do not know, they just care about their side of the people and events, and career and life.

Now that I think our Beijing people really are too great, vast knowledge too, seems to know everything.

In all the laughter, came to Venice.

Venice impression before me, have always been just a water city concept, arrived to realize it is Europe's oldest commercial civilization birthplaces. However, Venice is a big labyrinth, went to them is a very difficult thing, I find that the hotel journey deep confirms this.

Hindsight we at Hotel is 60 m of distance, but it took two hours to go, when you have four found.

Venetian charm in and it's Alley, in fact, bluntly told us the Tianhe Tangxia handshake, more or less the same, but it's a lot of water between the lanes, and bridges across the lanes on both sides is to sell things in small shops, and each shop sells things really are so beautiful, especially the clothes and accessories, of course, the glass products.

Of course the deepest impression or water in the rivers running through the streets, avenues, resulting in the most convenient means of transport is the ship, but full of local Customs vessel gondola is too expensive for 50 minutes to 60 euros, or save it, so I bought a 24-hour public Steamboat's pass, a person 16 euros.

In Hotel settled, we'll go to the Lido Island, the annual Venice Film Festival held in place, but this year's missed, and prestigious Venice Carnival, Mardi Gras, you might suspect that is not live on the Earth, because everyone was wearing very strange clothes, wearing the mask of all kinds of strange, no matter what country you come from, what nation, here you sit a thing, just as with people here to play.

Lido Island, lagoon city of Venice and certainly is different, it is a place where its modernization, which is built in the 20th century, but the same is the River is running through the streets, it is said that Zhang Ziyi has here bought a villa.

At the Lido Island, we had to return to Europe is so far the most expensive a true Italy dinner, enjoy a real Italian services, although the waitress doesn't speak English. Light is one of the dishes you need 3 euro, service charge to 5 euro, we point the Venice famous cuttlefish surface as well as steak, cuttlefish surface good, steak tastes in our opinion the difference with the far country, although there are 18 euros.

Venice too many

Things to make you forget to return, if the next time you go, I think I will stay for the whole 3 days, because so many beautiful shops, many full of charm of the maze of alleys, as well as guest of pigeons and architecture, all filled with the charm of Italy.

In Venice, a dove is very happy, not only because of the comfortable climate, more because never food.

Optical see landmarks in Venice, San Marco square and San Marco Church, numerous visitors took the bird food to feed the pigeons, and countless pigeons will be his body around, not afraid of being caught at all, but the danger is always on the square will be taken off of the pigeon hit, I was knocked into one.

2008 September 19, como Friday fine

I wonder if a certain month, the global assessment of a famous website in the world in ten best honeymoon tour, Como Lake ranks among them.

Venice from Como and not far away, the train more than three hours to, como is a mountain town, so we all the scenery is very beautiful.

The como station, did not see the Como Lake, will directly see our scheduled hotel.

Later confirmed in Como whether eating, or live, play, and are in the best of the trip, Venice took 200 euros only lived in a family hotel, but here is 150 euros, 4-star hotel is also eat, consume more than other cities slightly lower, but this place foreigners know much, therefore very little senses the city seen by people not exceeding 200.

The hotel went on for ten minutes, is the beauty of the Como Lake.

The sight of the Como Lake, feel this lake is not General, my wife saw it said: "this is Lake, where there is a sea!", because the Lake Como is the deepest lake in Europe, the depth of up to 420 m and depth of the sea in General, the magnificent lake, almost in the front is Switzerland's Alps.

Como Lake if you really want to take a boat trip up words for a whole day, because it is too large, it is caught in the middle of some mountain, mountain range which is a beautiful Villa, a lot is Hollywood star, the most famous when few qiaozhikeluni, his every year here through a period of time.

Travel notes including photos will always be difficult to describe the Como Lake, the beautiful, if you are interested, go to the site, you will discover that the world will have such a beautiful place, think about all day and live in Guangzhou really is his death.

2008 September 20, como Saturday sunny

Breakfast, and then in the Lake, and start our journey, perhaps life itself is a journey, from one place to another, constantly to follow what they want, and explore your way.

Therefore, each carrying luggage to find mental RECEPTION when checking out always have a hint of disappointment, there are some excited, because you want to go to another place. However, Como, I also will come.

Then took the whole trip in most tests ability and wisdom, is also among the most feared tours, that is, the train was delayed.

In the plan, we are going to France's nice, but because of Como is a small city, there are no tickets directly to Nice, you need to go from Milan, Milan-nice ticket is bought in advance in the domestic, como to Milano is half an hour by train, but is it half an hour by train, we wait for an hour before, causing the train to Milan-nice catch, so you have to wait for the train at night, the day is spent in Milan, and it was a Sunday, the European city of the shops are open on Sundays, all went out to play, so it has no place in Milan, playing, you can only see it from outside of the buildings and streets, even the night to go to a nice, the next afternoon to fly to Paris, nice no significance.

Considering that these two factors, I and my wife about it, make changes to schedule — direct to Paris.

This requires us to do a lot of work, first cancel the nice hotel and airfare, hotel, and it said that it was canceled and tickets are a problem, because the day is Sunday, most of the business office will not work, so I finally asked the air in Beijing, I direct hit in Germany Munich Air China Airport Office abolished.

The second is to buy tickets to Paris, fortunately there are seats to 95 euro a person, and had money to buy a ticket.

Come to Europe in the past, I wanted to do something with a credit card is not found, apart from the hotels to use credit card subscription, all other things are in cash, including foreigners, so if you travel to Europe, swap point cash is very necessary.

Another is the most troublesome, is set in Paris, the hotel, in the meantime, also belongs to the tourist season, the hotel is set in advance the day set, it is very difficult to draw, I also launched the Paris University classmate to help me out.

Finally, after more than an hour to Paris the city of a three-star hotel, 215 euro a night.

Milan to Paris by train to 6 hours, and we in Europe the longest journey, therefore, how to spend my time is very important.

We sat in the car is called the European conditions best, fastest, and the price is also the most expensive domestic France TGV, France is the car. You can reach a speed of up to 350 km/h.

Sat across from us is a black and a Italy elderly, due to a long time, we and the black people got chatting, but the old man just keep breathing, possibly because carriage of air circulation.

The old man feel at least 80 years old, a person with a good deal of a box to go to Milan, Italy and France to the boundary of a small city in the old man on a mobile with its trunk, with staggering pace, disappear into the night.

And finally to Paris train station, unexpectedly, Paris, what a cool car into a long

。 No choice but to follow the queue, and so on taxi, immediately feel the Paris of fashion.

The taxi I also remember, because the car equipment is really complete, as if we live in the 22nd century, modern mobile phone and GPS, the General brand, is France driver left a very deep impression of Paris.

2008 September 21 Paris fine Sunday

The second day, ate breakfast in the morning, we ran to the hotel before, next to the hotel is located in the Louvre, so we got on the day that logical Tour du Louvre, Paris.

Paris is an art, fashion and modern medicine's great cities, every corner of the city are full of the breath, uniform streets, alleys everywhere, there are occasionally of sculpture from Central Garden, etc., and do nothing to people on the street, long life in noisy vehicles, think Europe in Guangzhou, people's happiness.

The Louvre is a treasure house of world art and Palace, of which three are common fragrance, Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, wrecking of Venus, the goddess of victory, but I did not see anything special.

However, some of the other sculptures, Italy and France Greece sculpture sculptures, there are many beautiful and distinctive.

The Louvre is too big for us yet, spent a whole day just read the half, but a comparison of the half, it mainly in Western art, no Oriental art.

As regards the Eastern ancient works of art, especially China, because his wife before studying and working in the United Kingdom, she said that in the United Kingdom of Great Britain Museum comparison.

Unfortunately, the Louvre, no Chinese also good Chinese map, so he hired a English make listening, but also rows, the English say slow, more clearly, basically can understand.

Otherwise, a lot of their own did not see before you see something you really have no meaning.

Speaking of the Louvre would also like to say a few words about the glass pyramid entrance, it is in 1989 by the famous American architect Bay design by Ming Yu, Yu ming brought Bay, many Chinese are you sure you want to be proud, he is a member of the political integrity of designers, but unfortunately he is Chinese design has only one, that is the Beijing Xiangshan hotel, that's a lot of senior leaders meeting place, so it does not allow the civilian population into the month of November 2007 we went to Beijing, mapletrees open, passing through the fragrant Hills Hotel want to go in to look at, to the door will be driven out.

That is why the Bay Yu ming refuse all invitations from domestic, because he's philosophy is to design the whole mankind shared, dedicated and non-minorities. I think in this regard, he is very great.

No doubt the glass pyramid consume shellfish Yu ming's many efforts, but also for the world's tourists relish, because it is so perfect that coincided with the Louvre's main square, at the same time without affecting the lighting seems a landmark-the Louvre.

September 22, 2008 Monday Paris cloudy

According to the original itinerary destination for today is Notre Dame, the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, Champs Elysees, etc.

We basically this route or traditional route, prepare for the next time again to a tour, because the first time is very short, less than half a month, these places do not have to have a first exploration of the directions, the next time you make a detailed plan.

Notre Dame is also very complex, not only inside the complex, the outside is more complex, it is said that built hundreds of years, which has a small door at least cut hundreds of individual header, but it is also known as Hugo may be novel, there is also a bit ragged.

And the Arc de Triomphe and Hugo together, because the following bodies burials at Hugo, Hugo seems the hearts of the people in France has a lofty position, like da Vinci, Michelangelo to Italy. Arc de Triomphe is quite high, since Paris buildings generally not more than six layers, Arc de Triomphe is 60 metres high, but in fact, Arc de Triomphe are everywhere in Europe, but the more famous, many Kings in ancient times, the soldiers returned from the militant to get a victory of the triumphal arch, and this is the most powerful and prosperous period in France military Napoleon.

Next to the Arc de Triomphe is the Eiffel Tower, the previous impression for the Eiffel Tower, always feel that the Eiffel Tower is the symbol of France, but why does not a symbol of very specific concepts, real Eiffel Tower is a very large building, tall and straight into the cloud, and other low buildings in Paris in sharp contrast, and the Eiffel Tower photo is very good for one thing, the photos out also very beautiful.

After you are finished on the Tower, the tower is asking for money, a total of 3 layers, each layer prices, up to the roof to 12 euros a person, of course, came to this place must be on top.

On the top a bit complicated, however, must be on to intermediate layer to top, the thinking of an intermediate layer down directly to the top, down, and then on top of the middle layer is the most beautiful, he went to Paris, the whole town famed exhaustion, which is quite nice, neat and in front of the people's square, next to the Seine River in picturesque Green River running through the things that have no better word to describe it.

However after the roof is not such a good sight, but a feeling, it is high.

High to below could see not clear, and started to think as a tower which should be very small, but in fact, the top is very large, can accommodate hundreds of people.

Then is to visit the first layer, this is the most close to the ground layer, the layer has a post office, I heard many people return back here for the occasion, just go to the post office bought some postcards to domestic mail, postage is fairly cheap, 0.85 euros.

Next to the Arc de Triomphe Champs, this prestigious Street since the earliest ancient nobility who held a dinner party, thus showing their status, but now also is

An ordinary Street, France famous LV restaurant here.

In the evening and at Paris on PhD students gather together, he told me that Paris usually just don't work there are 1500 euros, work is generally 2000-3000 euros, judges, prosecutors, treatment is better, a 5000-6000-Europe, the company boss in General is 1 million euros, but the tax is heavy, overall, is the gap between rich and poor is very small, we had no uneven and social welfare is better.

This community does have his advantage is that people are lazy, but elite that is elite. Think because we have too many people, talk to them as well.

September 23, 2008 Paris fine Tuesday

Today's destination is the Palace of Versailles.

Since yesterday the classmates acknowledge to Versailles line, it is easy to find a train to Versailles.

Versailles palace is the France of Louis XIII, the Emperor in the suburbs of the city is in the Louvre Palace. Therefore, it is very large, there may be several square kilometres, we rented a level cars spend over an hour to go through his garden.

Go to Versailles is a lot of people, so that the door was queuing up a long queue, row 20 minutes before buying the tickets, 13 Euro 1, also not too expensive.

It seems that the Chinese people here or more. Because it had the Chinese interpretation, and we rent-car is provided the perfect Chinese services.

Versailles mainly consists of two parts, one is the Royal Palace, the other part is the garden, the Royal Palace or the original flavor is maintained at the Royal Palace in its entirety, and at that time who maintain this century of living is already very well developed, more luxurious Palace there are many things are made of gold.

Garden to my first impression is very neat, with no Chinese palace, but the environment is much better with pasture, rangeland, artificial lake, the vineyard, the flower park, leafy floats, it is nice.

Unfortunately the weather was very good, a bit like rain.

From Versailles to come back, that is, the Seine River Cruise, the Seine or smaller, you may also just 50 meters wide, but really, dotted with entire Paris seems to be a city that does not lack of water.

2008 years September 24, Paris fine Wednesday

People play here is already very tired, I write here is also very tired.

Tired or to go, is the evening's aircraft, so today's attractions is the least compression, would have to go to the Invalides, no sin in Paris next to shopping, from Opera House of Paris spring out to the Lafayette, due to local consumption is relatively high, in addition to perfumes, outside of the package and the leather is not buy anything.

On the day of the deepest impression or Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris, since the airport is too big for at least ten new Baiyun Airport, airport bus arrives at the end, we want to go by air at the other end, so mean to cross the entire inside the airport, take the train at the airport also sits about half the clock.

Also good to compare early.

However, the aircraft was delayed because the security check is too strict and even shoes, belts, glasses, in short, you cannot have anything, but it was confusing.

Finally back to Guangzhou, feel everything is so familiar with, look back and think about the European tour, it was like a dream.

This European tour to my feelings or many, mainly their lifestyle and social structure inspired by a deep for me, it seems we have to keep up with these countries is not a decade, in particular ideology. But in domestic has the domestic benefits, dinner and language at least is not a problem, but thinking too, Exchange might not seem so tired. So, do or should take its essence, the road is the best.
