I heard that the Chinese have built a high-speed rail network that extends to the end of the world and decided to see where it takes me. After a short (50min) metro train and bus ride I arrived at the gates of Paris, France. It all looks so French with clean streets and beautiful…. things.

I’ve been to Paris before but this time the city was easier to navigate than before, thanks to bilingual signage in French and English:

A nice stroll on the Champs Elysees. Wasn’t as crowded as last time but the people were much more polite and friendly than before! However the economic crisis in the EU has resulted in many of the shops remaining closed.

Overall the city was extremely beautiful and I must recommend that everyone should visit Paris!

Now I’m back in Hangzhou.
