A French travel tip : SHUT UP AND QUEUE UP OKAY?

Hello hello everbody :)
Thanks for staying tune for my whole
travel-blog concept-thing.. Haha..
I'm actually not very good at this..
But thanks for your support, guys. ;)

So, i've just returned from our three day stint in Paris :)
Lets say it was average, and not extremely omgroflwthstfulmao-mind blowing
as what I expected. (That's what you get when you have high expectations huh?)
Me, dad, Ryan and mum took the train to Paris on a Friday night with
3 of my dad's colleagues.

The next day, we journeyed down to Paris Disneyland..
And umm.. I know this will sound mean..
and contradict what i said in my last post..
but.. it was so.. UNENJOYABLE.
Gawd. Honestly couldn't wait to get out of there.
It was raining continuously for pretty much the whole morning,
dampening our moods for the day.
Spent most of the day in utter disagreement over EVERYTHING.
"NO DAD! I DONT WANT TO QUEUE UP FOR A PHOTO!'
WE DO THIS EVERYTIME WE'RE HERE!!!
WE WANT TO GO ON RIDESSSS!!! GRRR &@$#!"
yeah. That's pretty much how it went down. haha
Eventually, we parted company.. making everyone a LITTLE happier.
me and Ryan went around searching for rides etc. But all the queues were
over 2 hours long :/ sigh.

So we went to get a fastpass for Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blaster,
(looool. we play this game at EVERY disneyland! haha. its THE MAN.)
but we were only scheduled for 4.30.
Sigh. 3.5 hours to kill. What to do?
Upon my suggestion, we queued up for the Haunted House ride.
The line was like WOW THE WHOLE OF FRANCE TURNED UP FOR THIS RIDE!
lol. Im not even kidding.
Thank GOD the line moved extremely quickly, got into the house in under
30 minutes. Twas pretty cool. Except the overcrowding caused the ride to have to be
stopped several times :(
Then we went to get food, couldnt be F*cked with anything else.
Thing is, the little cafes we walked past were all shut down due to the
shitty weather. :(
So we walked ALL THE WAY to Adventureland,
finally found some decent place to have food..
but the queue was like OMG ALL THE PEOPLE FROM THE HAUNTED HOUSE DECIDED TO HAVE LUNCH HERE TOO?
Had to queue for like 45 mins till we got our food.
Sigh. at this point, me and ryry were just so miserable.
Seriously, FML.

yeah.
and that was just half of the day.
I wont elaborate. It's making me miserable by just looking back on it.
haha.
Basically for the rest of the day, this is what happened.
- Encountered the RUDEST people ever in our lives.
- had to queue up just to buy a TSHIRT.
- got chased away from the spot we saved for the parade.
- FCUKING LOST THE FCUKING FASTPASSES!

loooooool. I know right? hahahaha.
I think we've just grown out of Disneyland.
Sigh.
I used to think this place was heaven, its like I could just
reminisce on my childhood, make my childhood dreams come true
cause I couldn't then and can now.

But, hey. People change huh?
:( still rather devastated at how quickly I've outgrown this place.

We went to the Universal Studios though.
And that place was bloody awesome. haha
It was themed like Old Hollywood.
LOVELOVE!
So should have toured down there first. haha.



p.s. pictures soon..
Im currently using the hotel's computer. ;)
stay tune for part deux. haha
Yeah i didnt expect my Disneyland-rant to be so long. :P

Amsterdam part deux

Hello again peoples, so I've safely arrived in Amsterdam,
taken the train and lived with my daddy in his hotel
in The Hague.
Yes hague. Like Plague wihtout the pl. haha.
Ahhh. Lovely hotel that one,
theyve got a massive clear bowl of Pepernoten
on the recption's desk.
For all of you who dont know what this is, it's a rounded
cookie baked from flour and tastes like cinnamon/nutmeg.
Pepernoten are usually associated with Christmas, or
the Dutch version of this festive holiday.. with Saint Nikolas
as santa and the naughty black pete's as Santa's helpers.

man, this was such a massive part of my childhood in PDO.
Aileen, do you remember our stockings being filled to the brim
with pepernoten and those weird maeshmallow-ey sweets?
Haha. Life was gooood.

And in a bit, we shall be taking the train to Paris :)
We'll be there for the 3days.. i think.
have i mentioned we'll be going to DISNEYLAND?
Haha. I may be old as, but disneyland still is my absolute
favourite place. ever. ever ever.
But yes, stay safe guys!
Have an awesome holiday xox.
