Featherlight & fun short trip review


This pic was made by me, without photoshopping, on my fav place on MadNinjaz.

So many things happened during my trip, for example:
  • getting stuck between the security doors of the Subway in Paris (which made me decide that Metro sucks anyways, turning around and calling a Taxi instead),
  • noticing that in LeHavre, the one and only Toilet was locked, that it was pouring as if France wanted to drown me,
  • that I was happy that I did not forget my umbrella for once,
  • that the pregnant woman (8 months, if not more) asked me for a cigarette, I told her that smoking is bad for the baby, so the businessman next to me offered her a cigarette + fire so I had to tell him my 2cents,
  • that Etretat was as spectacular as I hoped it would be,

Wanna play Cliffhanger?


Yay

Les Falaises
  • that I played news magazin photographer as I was standing at the very peak of the cliffs, and took a snapshot of a family + small kids on their shoulders fleeing out of the grotto after having gotten surprised by the incoming flood (water was at the male's upper leg's height and since there's no sand, but pebbles on the beach + wet rocks at their side it was quite scary to watch them slip n'slide toward safety...strong current too...stupid tourists...flood's announced at each 5 steps of the whole beach in 4 languages...) Picture's on my facebook RL account x) Still thinking of selling it with the story to a newspaper (just kiddin')
  • that I made tons of other pictures,

Glad there were no mean tourists behind me who would go like *looks left, looks right, pushes the stupid tourist down the cliff...* I was at approximately 90meters here x)



Awwww Sunseeeeeeet!

  • that I've met a model-seagull who wasn't scared of shit,
Touch me! Please, you know you want to pet me! (but if you do, I'll bite the beejeebuz out of your hands!)
Yellow eyed evil.
  • that the hotel room was cheap and that I smoked out of the windows cause my leg hurted too much from climbing up and down on cliffs to walk downstairs,
  • that I had the pain..er...pleasure to eat a scrambled egg which tasted like made with lots of saltwater (eek...),
  • that the Woman in the Quick in Paris (Burger Fastfood, just like McDo but way more disgusting) said that they don't have hamburgers without cheese (instead of saying "Hi, your order please?" she was like "Huh...whaddaya want eh?")
  • that I spontaneously decided, with severe sore legs, to climb up all the way on Montmartre in Paris, including hundreds of stairs and steep hills, including all my heavy luggage only because I wanted to make a pic of the Eifeltower for my friends in Japan who might like..
  • On Montmartre, although that I looked pretty patheticly worn out after dragging all my luggage up there, I felt like the Queen of the World, Rocky the Boxer, etc. Then I noticed the elevator bringing people up to the peak in no time and went "FUUUUUUUUUUU....!" PS: I took a taxi back to the trainstation. No more power.
  • that on Montmartre I got asked 21 times by random artists (good ones, bad ones, crappy ones) if they can draw me since I'm sooo pretty (*cough*).
  • that on the Train station, a stranger ran into me from behind, although no one was in the way or around me, so that I almost punched him in the face, then checked my backpack.
  • that I had no Laptop with me and tremendously missed Youtube and Co upon discovering that the hotel only had French TV chains (I couldn't sleep without TV since my dear neighbours were so damn noisy that I wanted to stuff their mouths with entire seagulls).
Paris - Montmartre - the Eifeltower. Not as pretty when the weather's like this.

View from Montmartre over alllll of Paris. I am ze King of ze Pariissss!
No seriously, it was a fun trip. After the "awwws" and "ooooh's" of a really, really beautiful sunset I've left with a good feeling. And aching legs. Sitting on the pebbles watching the ocean and the cliffs, hardly anyone around, it felt great. Climbing the cliffs and checking out if there was no one behind me when taking pictures out of fear someone might push me all the way down the cliffs was fun. There were no security stuff, so it was a bit scary but that too was fun. Of course it wasn't so great for my pourse, since it was all in all pretty expensif (whaaaa? 5,00 for a Coke? Are you kidding me, Misterrr? T_T) but then again...


Awwwwww moooaaaar Sunset!


Oh btw, my PC died! T_T.
