The Journey of a Thousand Miles

For some people, it maybe just a simple structure; a piece of steel; an architectural art, as for France, it is a symbol of power, glory, and prestige! People who have visited Paris may have different interpretations on how they see the Eiffel Tower, for me, it is not just a  tower nor a landmark, but a symbol of my dreams coming into reality.  Paris has been a dream destination for me and seeing the Eiffel Tower is always something I look forward of doing. I never thought that someday I will find myself in this city of love! My dreams and determination have brought my feet to this lovely city and I didn't let this dream to be a dream forever, I made it into reality! The first time I saw the Eiffel, I was stunned by its beauty.  I couldn't help but stare in awe, and I couldn't describe exactly what I feel, I think it's love, oh yes it was love at first sight! On my third day in Paris, I was scheduled to climb the tower, my Euro trip will not be...

It was first Sunday of the month, and in Paris, most of the museums give free entrance to the public and I don't want to miss this opportunity. I woke up early making it sure that I will be arriving at the Louvre on time. I am anticipating a long queue since it is a free entrance and I was right. As  soon as I got out of the station, the line going inside is already long, but the good thing, it is moving very fast so I got inside the museum in less than an hour.

Being the largest in the world, Louvre holds the most number of collections, from ancient artefacts to paintings, sculptures, jewellery and a collection of Western arts dating from 1800's. It has eight curatorial departments which include painti...

It was a dream come true for me that finally I was able to visit this beautiful city! Paris has always been a dream place for me, I guess not only for me but for everybody.  My European tour will not be complete without including this place in my itinerary. It is a must visit place for me, and one of the places I have to see before I die. Paris is not just one of those places in the world where it doesn't matter how many times you visit, but as a first timer, to me it matters most! I have been dreaming about this place for long and you just can't imagine how happy I was when I am finally there. The overwhelming experience is indescribable and as soon as I get out of the train my heart almost fell on the ground because of excitement, either I conquer Paris of Paris conquers me! Paris' unwavering romantic vibe never seems to wear off from the buildings to the culture,  to the monuments, of course, the Eiffel Tower, Paris will always have a special pl...
