In Paris, having problems with the keyboard!
Arggs French keyboard sucks! Well at least to us. They keyboard has a different layout and thank God I can touch type otherwise typing this will be impossible. I would imagine the French will have the same problem if they go to English speaking country or Asia.
So yeah as you should be able to guess easily I'm currently in Paris and I have been walking around the whole day I wish I'm back in Bangkok with those cheap Thai massages. The semi-final will be on soon and people expect massive party at Champs Elysees if France goes through the final. I've bit the bullet by buying France guidebook because although the Europe in Shoestring is good I found it woefully inadequate for my usage. The problem is finding a France guidebook in English. I finally found one at Virgin Megastore at inflated price of EUR29.50, I really need it so I blew my budget for the day by buying this guidebook. I've browsed for a while and already convinced I made the right decision. It list an English bookshops for each cities, I never know how usefull this list is until now!
I've whipped through several sites today, Notre Dame, Ste Chappel and Conciergire. Took the Metro to Arc de Triomphe only to find out that it's closed for the day. They seem to have some sort of military service there, tomorrow it will open the police assured me. So I walked along the grand Champs Elysees where I found the Virgin Megastore and finally France specific guidebook.
I'm pretty knackered right now, I only had 2 hours sleep last night (don't know, couldn't sleep) and couldn't sleep on Eurostar, I guess I haven't recovered fully from the jet lag.
