Paris Day 2 - The Arc De Triomphe and Concorde



***

The second and final day in the city of lights began with a Hop-On-Hop-Off bus ride from The Louvre to Concorde. The Place De La Concorde is a popular square in France also encloses the Obelisk. The Obelisk stands 75 feet high and weighs more than 250 metric tons. On October 1836, the Obelisk replaced a guillotine in the middle of the Place De La Concorde, by the order of King Louis Philippe.

The Obelisk, as captured from the second storey of the Hop-On-Hop-Off bus.

Near the hieroglyph-covered monument is the famouChamps-Élysées. The avenue stretches out more than 1.9 kilometers (about 1.2 miles), and is surrounded by small or renowned shops, cafés, restaurants and cinemas. We strolled down the whole avenue from the Place De La Concorde, and taking a bunch of pictures along the way. I was a bit disappointed because we went there in the afternoon and that people tell me it's way better to go there at night. 

After a long walk along the Champs-Élysées, we made it to the Arc De Triomphe. I was quite bummed to see that there was construction going on the upper portion of the arch, something that I obviously didn't expect. I really like the detail of the designs around the arc. The arc honors the people who fought and perished for France during the Napoleonic and French Revolutionary Wars.


The Arch From The Place De Charles De Gaulle
After we visited this very historic monument of France, we used the bus to go to Palais Garnier / Opéra, but we needed to take a quick detour because my sister needed to use the restroom. We weren't planning to go to the Galeries Lafayette during our stay, but we stumbled upon it while we had our search for a restroom. 

We literally went up and down the stairs of this wine-selling establishment (much like Systembolaget here in Sweden) to find the restroom, because people kept telling us that the restroom is just "along the way". We found it, we used it and we got out of the Galeries Lafayette. That was very unexpected, but at least I got a glimpse on what it [Galeries Lafayette] would offer. Shoe boutiques, wine and alcohol and tons of different restaurants offering different types of cuisines.

We then walked to the Palais Garnier which on the outside appeared astonishing. Much like the Arc De Triomphe, it was undergoing construction. This made me sigh. When we entered, we saw more detail of architecture.

To wrap things up, we took the bus again and went to the Notre Dame De Paris. The Notre Dame is one of the many things that I would just dream to see, but I have seen it. The outside of the building blew me away. The intricacy of the architectural design on the outside made our jaws drop. When we entered, I could feel the solemnity of the church. We donated a couple of Euros and offered candles. I was extremely overjoyed on the fact that I just offered a candle on one of the most highlighted areas of Paris.

The inside of the church was amazing. As a part of the Catholic community, I was astounded. I was astounded more when a mass was just about to start, with about 100+ people taking pictures. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to attend the mass, as it was getting late.



That concludes our trip to Paris, France this 2014. I have seen another part of the large, large area that is Europe. I have seen and experienced some sights that I would never think to personally see my whole life. Paris has been a mind-blowing experience not just for me, but also for my family that went along with the journey.

 My favorite part of Paris was definitely seeing the magnificent views on one of the observation decks of the Eiffel Tower. There were also some lows on this trip, such as the Arc De Triomphe being covered with construction and Tabac Du Roule, but those didn't hinder any of the highs we had.

I want to see Paris someday again in the future, just to say "hi" again and to see the things that have changed. Is the city more urban now? Can I still see the flawless architecture I saw the last time that I was here? Is the Mona Lisa still covered with that thick glass pane at the Louvre?

Again, that's it. Hopefully, you too have enjoyed my stay in the city of lights and loveWhat was your favorite part of my Parisian experience? Comment them down below and let me know! I'm Euan, and from Paris with loveAu Revoir.

Örebro Day 1 -The Basics

by Patricia

 PART 2  / PART 3

On the Friday in the Sports Break, me and my family travelled to Örebro, a city two hours away from Stockholm. I was excited for this trip since my dad had said so much about the opportunities we have, from water park to Toys R Us.

After two hours of driving, we arrived to Gustavsvik, a leisure time place in Örebro. The place is based on a water park, just like the place where we went in Uppsala this January.

Stugas
When picking up the keys for our house, we were told that we'll live in a "stuga". A "stuga" is a Swedish word for little house, like a cottage. It was about five minutes to get there from the reception, and on the way, we saw lots of different "stugas". There were the really small ones, all wooden, even from the inside. They were all empty now, probably because they weren't heated and it was still winter in Örebro, snow everywhere. Next to the small stuga group, we could see medium ones. The buildings were bigger, and one building had two sides; two different parts to rent. Our stuga was one of these medium ones, number 31. I was amazed by how modern it was from the inside compared to the smaller stugas. It had everything, a living room- kitchen- entrance combination, a bathroom in a separate room, and one bedroom with a bunk bed in it. The medium stuga meant to be 5 star rated, and let me tell you, I approve! We even discovered that they had wifi in the stugas, because every teenager needs that. :)

After we settled in, we ate lunch that my mum cooked in this stuga, trying out the modern oven. I read a magazine I found about Örebro later, which I found interesting. It said there is a famous museum which seemed just like the Tekniska Museet back in Stockholm. I also read about Örebro's water tower, and a "slott", which is a Swedish word for castle. I wondered if we'll visit any  of these places.

Later, my dad told us that there's a LEGO shop near by. Of course we got excited, I mean, LEGO is amazing. ;) But after listening to him, it turned out this one's the biggest LEGO shop in Sweden!

The place was really nice, and it was surprisingly full of LEGOs. We stayed there until the closing time, observing everything, because I've never seen this much LEGO in one place yet!

After getting home with some freshly bought products, we decided to visit Gustavsvik's water park as a nice ending of the day. I saw a map of the park earlier, so I was expecting lots of slides and jungle pools. When we got there, I wasn't disappointed! 

Honestly, this water park was way too scary for me. Those slides… I screamed all the way. Turned out that following my sister and my dad was a really bad idea, because they only took the dangerous-looking slides. There was a fast, dark one, which was scary, but the worst of all was the "onion" slide. It started out normal, then it became one single circle, which made me spin around all the way, then eventually, I fell into the water. Never again.

Just like in the LEGO shop, we stayed here until closing time as well. This had been a perfect ending of the day, I hoped we can come back here tomorrow, but I also remembered that there are lots of other things we planned to do in Örebro! I wonder what's the plan for tomorrow...

Hi, I'm Patricia!


Hello! I'm Patricia, good friend of Euan, the Teen Traveller!
Some of you might know me from my own blog, The Formal Rulebreaker, but since it's not too well-known, I'm new for most of you. 

I'm originally from Hungary, a country in middle Europe. I currently don't live there, but I always spend the summer break in that country, feeling like a tourist. :) 
Hungary is a popular destination in the summer, not only for my family, but for many tourists around the world. The capital city, Budapest is known for the beautiful buildings and hotels, at least that's what tourists say. In my opinion, Budapest is nothing compared to Siófok, a large city located around Balaton, Hungary's biggest lake. I might do a post or two about it as I'm becoming The Teen Traveller's co-author, so get ready readers! 

For now, I'm just going to say that I'm looking forward to post on this amazing blog! I'm very happy to become a co-author since I'm already in love with blogging! 

You can read my random thoughts and adventures on my main blog, The Formal Rulebreaker!

Hi, I'm Shriya!


Hi, I'm Shriya!


Travelling is fun. I like to roam in different cities because I want to know their culture. I would want to blend in because it is interesting to know other how other people live in their own countries. My favorite travelling experience is when we went to a cruise to Tallin (in Estonia). My home country is India, and I like that India is a very social country. No one is busy on their phones, people greet you while you're if you pass on the road. 

I hope that you will enjoy reading my posts and keep reading the blog in the future!

Tio Tretton


***
A while back, Linh, her friend and I went to Kulturhuset in T-Centralen to go to a library. The library was called Tio Tretton (in English - Ten Thirteen), which was a library directed to kids 10 to 13 years old.

The main purpose of the library is, well, a reading place. But I think that it's more than that. It has a kitchen, a small stage, a ton of board games and much , much more.

On the left is a really big, soft and comfortable couch. It's designed their as a reading nook.

Another reading nook near this was a large bean bag. It was much more comfortable than that on the left!

Another reading nook Tio Tretton has to offer is like a dock. There's two levels, one on the bottom that has two wide chairs for you to sit on and one on the top (requires to you climb steps to go there) which is like a half-circle shaped foam area kind of thing.


Another facility of Tio Tretton is their mini-stage / theater / computer area / reading lounge. It's basically composed of a half-circle shaped stage. Covering the stage is an area where children can use Wifi-Enabled Macs to do anything they wish, from Facebook to Minecraft Party. Outlaying the computers is an elevated sitting area with a velvet sofa. Below the sofa is a showcase of different Swedish books for children. 

(Sidenote: I tried my best describing the place, but you must see the pictures for a better understanding of what I just wrote.)

Tio Tretton has activities laid out for the children every weekday, wherein in one day they have a theme. Let's say Mondays are for making your own computer games out of scratch, Tuesdays are for muffin baking, Wednesdays are for making a necklace out of beads and string and et cetera.

1: What's your favorite city in the world and why?  
"I like Laguna (in the Philippines). It's because I already know the place." 

2: If you were given the chance to go to another country, where would you go?
"I want to go to Italy or the Vatican. I want to go there because my parents dream to go there too.

3:  Where should we go in Laguna? Any recommendations? Experiences?
"I would recommend going to the Pagsanjan Falls, because it is really peaceful there. Plus, you can eat beside it for a different, but relaxing experience."

4: Name five words that go in your mind if I say "travelling".
"Educational, Unexpected, Fun, Worth-It and an Adventure." 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Thank you to Renee Bamba for letting me interview her!

My Trip To Munkedal (Near Gothenburg)


Remember that update post that I talked about going to Gothenburg? I was really off. Turns out that we went to a cozy little town about a hundred kilometers away from Gothenburg named Munkedal.

So there isn't much to blog about Munkedal, though. It was really just a simple and quiet suburb type of town. One thing I'd like to talk about in the town was its nature.

The place where we stayed at was covered with trees. There were lots of trees, like birch, oak and some kind of fir or pine that are used for making Christmas trees.

We enjoyed the company of my mom's cousin, her husband and their adorable two year old. And did I mention their excellent food? She made us some olive bread and potato and leek soup with bacon bits. The soup is to die for!

Munkedal is a very pleasant experience and I would 100% go back. I wouldn't go again by train or car though, because long train rides make me dizzy and want to puke, and long car rides are just uncomfortable. I would prefer planes, but they're quite expensive. Everything has its pros and cons, though.

EATS: ICA's Strawberry Ice Cream Cones


While shopping with my family last Sunday, we stumbled across this ICA Ice Cream, which is just a brand of ice cream from the supermarket we bought. 

We bought one box (8 pieces) of Strawberry & Vanilla ice cream, 250 calories per 100mL (which is great, considering each cone is 120mL), SEK 20. 


Nothing fantastic. The ice cream came out just like the pictures above, with less strawberry jam. Surprisingly, the cone was covered in chocolate in the inside and the ice cream is also filled in the inside of the cone, not just on top. I love the chocolate-filled tip! It makes you want more. 

Value for money is excellent. 8 cones for 20 crowns is fine, considering you can get one cone of a equally-tasting Cornetto in Hemkop for SEK 5 (there was a sale), and that's only for one ice cream. 

ICA also makes biscuits, cookies and simple breads for great prices.

Why Should We Travel?


So a lot might agree that travelling is real, pure fun. Besides the original response of "because its fun" or "I like going to other places", why do we really need to travel?


Personally, I enjoy travelling because I also want to experience the culture of other places, especially other countries. With this, I want to make the most out of my travelling experience by researching online for some travel advice, tips and etc. 

The world really is our playground. If the word "playground" means "a travelling haven", this would be a very accurate metaphor. I really like how people describe the physical Earth as their playground, because it shows me that they also want to enjoy the good things in life, and what each and every place has to offer.

Now let's go on to something only a handful of people talk about. The benefits of travelling.

1] It helps us with our ability to understand perspectives. 
If you are travelling, there is a solid possibility that you can get an outlook of the lives of the people that are natives or locals on that particular country or region. Say if you take a trip to a highly-agrarian country and find tons of farmers harvesting their crops, you may understand that the situation for work in that country is on agriculture and on farming. You can also notice different perspectives in the form of the people. Maybe you see that people are skinny because most of their food are non-fattening. There is a wide range of possibilities.

2] We have the opportunity to focus on more leisurely things and decrease stress.
While travelling, you are focused on the pleasure you feel because you're relaxing, enjoying that beautiful view of a countryside or on top of a crazy-high tower, or spending your cash on that savvy three course meal. This lets you forget about your problems and other stressful stuff. At least when you travel, you are focused on more fun, leisurely stuff instead of boring old stuff that increases your blood pressure.

3] Travelling creates memories that last a lifetime. Trying something for the first time is great!
If you travel, you may come across some scenery that you have never encountered some thing like it before. You can then proudly say that it is your first time to do something. So let's say its your first time to go paragliding in Brazil, or eating some kind of bizarre street food in China, all make a mark on your life.

4] Activate social connections / make new friends. 
Travelling is also exposure to mass amounts of people all around the world. Why not make friends along your positive journey? By the way, always be wary of friendly strangers, but other than that, it does not hurt to make friends. Become a social butterfly.

So that's it. More than what you expected? I hope so. No?, well that's fine. I want to become one of those advocates of travelling, because travelling is awesome. As awesome as eating. So are you up with me? Would you be a travelling advocate?

Universal Studios Singapore!



NOTE: Apparently, I forgot the main reason we went to Singapore (besides the sights), the Universal Studios Singapore. No errors were in the last post (Singapore 2011!), just that after the picture of the Singapore Flyer, we did not go to Kuala Lumpur yet. We went back to the hotel...

... so after another night at the hotel, we went to Universal Studios Singapore! The tickets for a one day pass for adults (13 to 59) is SG$ 74, for a child (7 to 12) is SG$ 54 and for seniors (60+) is SG$ 36.

Me And The Infamous Universal Studios Globe

So I think the first attraction we went on was "Treasure Hunters" which included a crazy long line with over a hundred people on it. So the purpose of the attraction was to ride on a jeep which was supposed to be driven by you. You then drive around an Egyptian village. Rate the ride? 6/10. 

We were supposed to ride The Revenge of The Mummy next, but I saw that was an indoor roller-coaster, and I HATE ROLLER-COASTERS. Just the combination of fast, heights and the lack of the presence of safety in my mind don't mix. After only my auntie and uncle rode the ride, they proved that us two (me and my sister) had the right decision. The ride was really not for the faint-hearted. Which is also me. 

Us In The Entrance of Revenge of the Mummy 

So after this, we went and watched a re-enactment of Waterworld. When we entered the audience's area, the actors were like pranking people which were in front and spraying them with water guns and throwing buckets of water to random people. I don't know if the people were paid or something, but I just think that that was cruel. And a waste of water. Re-enactment was real, but it would've been better. 

Us In The Entrance of WaterWorld 


After this, we went searching for somewhere to have a quick lunch. We found a stall selling slushies and cold sandwiches. The seller was a Filipino, by the way. Near the stall were two inter-twining roller-coasters where only my uncle rode on... 

My Uncle in the Entrance of one of the Two Roller-Coasters

We then rode on a small, indoor Ferris-Wheel and that kiddie ride where cars go up and down while revolving in a circular motion. I don't care on what it's called, frankly. 

We then rode on a Madagascar themed ride, which seemed a lot like Disneyland's "It's a Small World". It showed some clips on the Madagascar movies with high focus on the penguins. 


We then went like five times on another Madagascar-themed carousel. We then watch some jazz players perform in the middle of the street and spent about forty-five minutes inside a theater where there was a musical called "Monster Rock" that was being played. 

That's basically it. The Singapore 2011 entry is officially over and please watch out tomorrow where I will release the blog entry for Malaysia 2011 and hopefully, Hong Kong 2013.

Vasa Museum & Aquaria Ocean Museum Stockholm


So we went to Stockholm city and Djurgårdsbron today to visit the Vasa Museum (Vasamuseet). The Vasa Museum displays an inact 17th century ship, the warship Vasa that sank on its first voyage in 1628. According to Wikipedia, this is the most visited museum in Scandinavia. 

So the admission rates were SEK 130 for adults, SEK 100 for students, and for children and teenagers 0 to 18 years, were free. The address of this attraction is Galarvarvsvagen 14, Stockholm. 

Upon paying for your ticket, you will cross a hall with sets of glass doors. After the third set, you will be welcomed by the ship itself. Take note that once you enter, you will be in the fourth floor. 

The Salvaged Vasa Ship

What amazes me once I saw the boat was it was excellently preserved. You may not see from the picture, but even the minor details of the boat seemed to be untouched, considering that the boat sank in the 1600's. 

There are lots of stuff you can see in the fourth floor, such as a presentation room where you can see how the Vasa ship sank and some models on how they re-constructed the ship itself. 

The second floor didn't have much to offer though. It just showed some mere pieces of planks, axes and stuff that they used to build the boat. There was also a replica of a smaller boat there. I supposed that this was a life/rescue boat... 



On the fifth floor, there was a theme that was introduced, and that was Life Onboard The Ship. It pretty much showed how the people interacted with each other, the form of currency they used and my personal favorite, the gun and cannon artillery. -

A Cannon From The Artillery 

The sixth floor had a theme of Power and Influences. This part of the museum particularly explained how the Roman Emperors influenced the Vasa ship and its people. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures from this floor. Whoops... 

The final floor was an observation deck, where you can clearly see the top and upper parts of the ship itself. I took a picture (below) which shows the view from the seventh floor. 


After this, we headed to the Vasa Museum's Restaurant / Cafe for a quick nibble. Yes, they have a cafe. Overall, I think that this is the most interesting museum I've been in. It was very informative and historic, and I recommend it to anyone. Rating? I'll give it a 8 out of 10. 

By the way, my stepdad told me that he visited the museum 10 years ago. When I asked on how was the museum then, he replied: 

"It's been ten years since I have last visited here. The crew was still restoring the actual ship. The ship was about seventy percent completed then." 

So after our magnificent trip here, my stepdad let us choose if we would rather go home early or go to another attraction. My mom, sister and I then said that we wanted to go to another attraction. We saw a post indicating that there was a Marine Aquarium Museum.

After a quick, five-ten minute walk, we stumbled upon Aquaria, the marine museum. Long story short, the place was divided into sections that resembled the wilderness and rain forests. My stepdad found it pathetic because of its space. I agree. A little bit more space and maybe an air-conditioning unit might do the trick. Rating? 4 out of 10. Funnest part of this attraction? The small, approximately twelve meter Sewage Area that was literally underground.

Me Inside The Manhole Leading To The "Sewage Area" of the Attraction 

On an ending note, I leave you this picture that I took whilst strolling across the fifth floor of the Vasa Museum. It was on the floor. 

Is There Some Kind Of Demonic Ritual Up In Here?

Singapore 2011



Pardon me if I can't explain this trip in full detail, but this trip happened in 2011, but I'll give it a try. 

I remember that it was night when our plane touched down the airport from Manila to Singapore. Nothing fancy with the airplane, it was just a normal economy-class cabin. 

I also remember that I was really scared when going to immigration, because I always imagine them being authoritative and ask questions (that I don't know the answers to). Turns out they were very friendly. After my passport was stamped, I took some mints from the immigration table and walked off. True Story. 

We arrived to our hotel via taxi from the Singapore Changi Airport's Budget Terminal to Fragrance Hotel-Crystal. It wasn't a large hotel, but it was very fine nonetheless. 


Us At Fragrance Hotel-Crystal 

The next morning, we got up and took a bus to the Marina Bay Sands Shopping Mall. There was a pathway covered in trees and flowers, and we decided to stroll down their for the day. 

Me Outside The Marina Bay Sands Shopping Mall

We then walked along the pathway and took lots of pictures about the Arts and Sciences Museum of Singapore and the Singapore River Cruise (which we did not ride) and the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. 

Us And The Marina Bay Sands

And we also visited the most iconic Singaporean Landmark! The Merlion Fountain. 


Finally, our trip to Singapore was done, and this was just half of our 5-Day Vacation. We booked ourselves a six hour bus ride to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Before we end the trip, my mom caught the final picture from Singapore. The Singapore Flyer. 




That's it for our 2011 Trip to Singapore (and for this blog post). I shall talk about our experiences in Malaysia next. 'Till next time!
