at the top of Eiffel

Parisian

Of all the places I've been to, I could say that Paris is one of the most romantic place to fall in love with. I've visited there last year (2010), very much thrilled with what is in the city that people are talking about. From Germany, my relatives and I traveled to Paris via ICE (Intercity-Express) train which is used as a high-speed train around Europe with a maximum speed of 300km/hr. 

While walking and looking for our hotel, my eyes are everywhere, scanning the scene, taking all the landscape in from what I watched in movies and tv series. We stayed in Hotel France Eiffel where it is just a walk away going to Eiffel Tower. After we put our things in our room, we go straight to the famous tower and upon seeing the Eiffel personally for the first time, I was dumbfounded by how big and wide it is! We went up to the top-most and enjoyed the view, taking pictures everywhere. From what I noticed, the reason why you get to see a good look from the top is because they don't have modern skyscrapers that will blocked the old, sturdy architectural design of the city. Among which are the Opera, Notre Dame Cathedral, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre Museum and Asemblee Nationale to name a few.


Elite people will really have the reason why they love to be here, other than the fine, pricey restos they could enjoy, they get to indulge in bags, shoes and clothes, which for me, will worth the same as a house in our country! The costly-branded boutiques are like museums, putting all their artistry and elegance in it, inside and out.


A night life in Paris is maybe different from what we picture out. It means to say looking at the surroundings, taking pleasure of the bronze appearance of the environment that comes from Eiffel Tower. The passionate sense of the city will envelope you. I remember 2 Chinese old couples embracing each other while dancing under the Eiffel, maybe reminiscing how they first fell in love with each other. As I may have a sweet suggestion for guys: you can have a wedding proposal at the top-most of Eiffel, buy a glass of champagne (there's a champagne bar up there), present the engagement ring inside the glass and pronounce your sweep-me-off-my-feet, declaration of love to the person you want to be with for the rest of your life. Talk about sweetness!!!
