Hi there! In this entry I love to share my new experience traveled to Europe.
It is one of our slot for Minor 1 : Experiencing Culture subject.
A week before the trip I still haven't start packed. I only started to packed all the stuff needed the night before the trip. It was something people shouldn't do, last minute preparation. So to avoid from left out important things I jotted down things to bring. The most thing I afraid on that moment is to left out my Passport, so the first thing I put inside my bag is that red book!

| Most important thing! Passport and Boarding Pass |

So I at least need to be in airport before 1700 (GMT +8). On that day I was having mixed feeling from excited, nervous, happy, worried and ect. Because of those feeling I became indecisive person and that cause me not having my lunch and late to arrived before 1700. Fortunately, I was not into trouble(except hungry) after arrived in airport because the group still waiting for few more person.
It was briefly what I had experience before we departed from KLIA.
First day of my trip generally cover the departure from Malaysia to Paris and had a stop over in Dubai Airport. Because the excitement of the trip I couldn't sleep in the first flight so once reached in Dubai me and my friends found a place to had some nap.

On the next morning September 12 we reached Charles de Gualle Airport with full of excitement and expectation of Paris Culture.
 |
| The first picture took once reached Paris. |
After settled the immigration we straight away took a bus to Champ-Elysees. It was a starting point of the trip. Everyone started to run or walked faster just to make sure we were stay in a group.

On the way to Champ-Elysees bus stop we briefly had a tour around Place Charles de Gualle.
It was one of unforgettable memories to get a chance to see the life of Parisian and their residential building.
Based from what I have seen, normally they lives in low rise building such as apartment and townhouse.

| My first impression of Paris on our way to Champ-Elysees. So historical! |

The next thing we do after reached the Champ-Elysees Bus stop is to run with all heavy luggage to underground metro station, Charles de Gualle Etoile. Look similar to explorace, everyone running while carry heavy bags and stuff to catch the train to Bir Hakeim which is the nearest station to Eiffel Tower. The nearest our journey to Eiffel Tower the more excited we get. Even with the heavy bags and all smiles still appeared on our face.

Eiffel Tower, the first destination I visit once arrived in Paris. The moment I saw this tower and standing on the ground where all the piles and foundation of the tower been buried, its still something unbelievable. I never dreamed to be there but this trip gave me a chance to know and explore more about Paris and Europe culture.
As our group did have a reservation to go up on Eiffel tower earlier before we came, So we all looked forward of what Paris have up there on Eiffel Tower. Although everyone tired, because have not settle down since departure from Malaysia on the previous day but we all really had a good time on our first visit.

| Structure of Eiffel Tower |
For the whole time I spent at Eiffel Tower , I have been asking my self how does the engineer and the architect of that tower can built and design this kind of structure in their century. I fascinated of every angle of this tower.

Spent the whole time since arrived until the day turning dark in Eiffel Tower Park everyone suddenly realized they were hungry. So we left to find a food and went to our stay to check in.
