Montreux, 18-19/10/2015
train from paris to Geneva is only 3 hours

senang jer babe
cuma kena monitor dates yg u nak tu

sampai kat Geneva Cornavin
weols gi beli Swiss pass
since we'll be here 5 days
so, lebih economical for us to buy the Swiss half fare card
rege dia .... CHF120seorg.
beli skali tiket to Montreux
mintak for the direct train taw, klu x kena change trains
pastu pusing pusing stesen jap
gi toilet, kena bayo EUR1 atau CHF1.50

once u dah beli teket tu u boleh naik any train within one hour period
we bought the tickets dlam kul 2.30pm lebih

Autumn in Europe ... Paris 4

pagi ni we took the bus to Gare de Lyon
bus stop tu,  depan hotel jer
Eur2/person, bayo kat driver

our hotel, the not so 'new hotel'  ni, view from depan bus stop

from depan hotel pulak. maser ni weols jer, lepas tu ... ramai la pulak dgn beg memasing

we took bus#65.  nampak x kat signage dia tu ade maser for the bus due to arrive.  canggihkan! kat mesia ade ke? ntahlah, kat mesia x naek bas!! (^~^)

the bus route,  duaploh menet jer dah sampai. it was on sunday, so no traffic.   kater mamat reception kat otel tu, kalu ari biase, about 30-40mins 

Gare de Lyon, kul 10pagi, mendung jerrr 

cantek otel depan stesen ni

ngan moto besaw ... 

masuk jer stesen ... x der signage aper pun.. tercangak bangak  jugakla!  yg ader, sigboard besau ni for departure. look for yor train number and cari platform no.  weols dah beli tiket online, so bawak yg tu jer.  lagi seploh menet baru train number naik kat board tu, so, nek jer train.  nanti ader officer dia dlam train yg akan scan yor ticket. senang nak mampos!! 

tu dia, yg merah tu la our train

we r heading to Montreux
sebutan = mont-tghru  
only one night kat sini
then, nek Golden pass to Interlaken!!

ekceli, this is the highlight of the trip
i read somwhere that ...
if Switzerland is in your itinerary for Europe
make it yor last stop
sebaaab ...  katernye kannn
bila dah sampai sini, dah tengok keindahan swistzerland
tempat laen will be bland ...  biase biase aje
kater dia lah
sukati uols la nk folo ke x

muka exited otw to switzerland

my rumusan on Paris ...
we only had 1 setengah hari jer here
rasernye kalu ader rezeki ke Europe
mungkin x datang Paris dah
jadi stopover mungkin
nothing much
setakat Eiffel Tower tu ajerla
museum2 tu idakla ... shopping moping pun idakla
i read somewhere comments on these French people
generally, the people cni is peramah
BUUUT....
orng2 yg dalam service industry dia is not helpful n peramah!!
and i've experienced that.
mase kat Gare de Lyon ni kan
i nk tanya la, teket online ni nak kena validate ke tidak, nak kena stamp ke
so gi la cari information kaunter
i tanyala "is this tickets good to go? do i need to validate it or somthing?"
dengan muka yg x senyum ... x say hi pun
dengan muka yg macam menyampah .. dia jawab
"this ticket is ok" pastu terus sambung sembang ngn minah sebelah dia
seb baik la taim tu dah nak blah dari negara nko!!!

Another incident was maser sampai from London
kat information kaunter kat Gare du Nord
sama kes gak ...
so, from this 2 case ...
i totally agree with that statement!!
