Paris La France

Sebrinah Yeo July 23, 2010 0

Ratianda´s correspondent from The Netherlands and her husband went to Paris in France. Paris. The most romantic city to visit? Yes it is! The perfect city to visit during your wedding anniversary? Yes it is!

Paris (nicknamed the City of light) is the capital city of France, and the largest city there. Around 2,15 million people live there. If you include the suburbs, the population of Paris rises to 12 million people.

The Seine river runs through the oldest part of Paris, and divides it into two parts, known as the Left Bank (Yves Saint Laurant´s Rive Gauche) and the Right Bank.

Paris is also the centre of French economy, politics, traffic and culture. Paris has many art museums and historical buildings. As a traffic centre, Paris has a very good underground subway system, airports and stations. The Metro was built in 1900, and its total length is more than 200 km.

The city has a multi-cultural style, because 20% of the people there are from outside France. There are many different restaurants with all kinds of food.

The most famous buildings in Paris are the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, and The Louvre.

Ratianda´s correspondent from The Netherlands truly recommends everybody to visit the beautiful city Paris at least once in their live. It is a truly stunning experience.

Ratianda's correspondent from The Netherlands had the pleasure to interview her good friends from Malaysia who returned from their European trip. After visiting The Netherlands Mrs. Goh and her husband Mr. Goh went to Tuttlingen in Germany and Switserland. Mrs. Goh works for a company in Malaysia whose headquarters is located in Tuttlingen in Germany (and offices in Switserland).

Raitianda's correspondent (RC):
So Mrs. Goh how was your work and visit to Tuttlingen? You brought along your husband Mr. Goh, how so?

Mrs. & Mr. Goh (MG):
It was fantastic visiting Germany again! This was my 4th trip you know. It was great meeting my European colleagues again. We have alot of e-mail contact so it's nice to see the persons behind the e-mails. Yes, I brought along my husband. This was his first trip to Europe you know.

RC:
That is so nice MG! So Mr. Goh, can you describe your first impressions about Germany? Mrs. Goh was busy working so you had to do the sightseeing on your own.

MG:
My first impression. Well I don't speak German you know. So I had to use sign language! I had fun on my own and walked the whole day while Mrs. Goh was working. And when my wife wasn't working, we did some sightseeing together. Actually I walked 2 whole days!

RC:
Well I know Malaysia is known for the hot and spicy oriental food. So how did you manage with the German sausages, sauer kraut and kasier buns?

MG:
Yes, you are so right! The food was ok but very bland. We managed.

RC:
So what else did you do?

MG:
We also went to Switserland! We were not prepared for the snow there. It was our first time we saw and stood in the snow! We wore socks and sandals. And we loved it! We really hope to come back to Switserland again. We went to Luzern and to Zurich. Beautiful cities! We bought some Swiss chocolate too. Very very good.
