AAAHHH!! Guess where I am???????????? Bonjour, cuz I am in Paris right now baby! Can you believe this!!? Me either! I am too excited to go to sleep, and this hotel guy said we could use the internet for free so yeay! I cannot understant ANYTHING that people are saying AT ALL! Isnt it great?
NEVER eat French food unless you know what it is (ie french fries)!! On Wednesday, we flew to Paris and went to the train to go to the metro from the airport. I didnt understand A THING! Good thing my friend spoke French because I wouldnt have known anything. First of all, you have to find your correct bus from the airport to the metro train, get on the right train going to Paris, then the right metro. It's sooo confusing because it has a million different metro lines, and not all of them can be used if you get a day pass. Paris is carisimo!!! OMIGOSH let me tell you it is 8 euro just to go one way on the metro from the airport. So we found a hotel (2 stars but whatever) in the expensive Mouton Duvernet neighborhood which is Southern Paris for 20 euro per night per person, which is sooooo cheap, it's not even funny. I still cant believe we found that one AND it had free internet! Que suerte! This hotel was a lawsuit waiting to happen, you had to really be careful not to fall down the stairs when you stepped out of the bathroom, but the main thing was we werent in northern Paris or the redlight district (Moulin Rouge) which is muy dangerous. So that night we went out to eat down the famous Charles de Gaulle street because nothing was open except there. We were hungry around Spanish meal time like 10pm, and these Parisians were already getting ready for bed! So we found this restaurant called le Petite Vienne, which sounded like more our price range and not like 25 euro per plate!! So it sounded like pasta-ish food to me...WRONG! First of all the majority of things were fish, and second of all we ordered the steak tartare with frites and ensalada. Doesnt it sound like steak with tartar sauce fries and salad? Pues no! Let me tell you about steak tartare. It is the most disgusting thing I have ever SEEN! So we were really hungry right waiting for our delicious steak when out comes this red blob and potatoes in a sauce and salad. The red blob was our STEAK! EW, it was raw raw ground beef and had a quivering RAW egg on top! We were like oh HELL no what happened to our steak!? We're SO hungry....but there is no way I'm eating raw steak and raw egg unless I was on the verge of death. So we asked them to take it back and cook it (I dont know what took so long to prepare if the cook didnt even have to cook the meat, just blend it in a blender), and they got sooooo pissed! They probably spit in our food. So here we were, stuck in this little cafe surrounded by a group of karate world champions from Tunisia (we talked to someof them- DAYA met us there and told us what was going on) who were staring at us and laughing when we saw our food! After that I was like umm, no french food for me thanks, Ill stick to what I know, maybe even McDonalds if I have to. And that was our first night in Paris!
