From London to Paris by EUROSTAR


Leaving home for Europe was a big decision to make. Plus, when we are on a trip, money is always the first issue and the second will be time. Or, maybe it’s the other way round. Well, depends.

So, as I am traveling all the way from Sabah, North Borneo, Malaysia to Europe, money will be the first issue due to the conversion; the exchange rates are crazy. To travel that far from home, most of us will think of the best way to travel, which is valuable.

There are few of my friends who have suggested EUROSTAR for me. It’s is the most convenient way to travel around Europe. But it’s not everywhere in Europe; just certain location such as to or from London, Paris, Brussels, etc.

I always love to enjoy sceneries and I found out this is the best way to travel too. Since we are traveling by train, I am able to see what’s outside. If I am boarding on a plane, I might not have the same experience as what I’m going to get on the train. It’s actually the fastest way to reach Paris. By the way, I am actually departed from London. Approximate 2 hours to reach my destination – Paris.


On that night, I stayed at a budget hotel (will feature this in my next post) nearby to St. Pancras, King Cross, so I can walk to the train station within 6 minutes. The problem is you will need to pull your luggage all the way from your hotel. No worries, it’s not a shame thing to do because everybody did that. Yes, you may not see that often in Malaysia but you just need to blend in. ;)

There are few things that make me comfortable by traveling with train:
1. Comfortable sitting arrangement
2. Luggage area prepared
3. No worries of transportation on ground; Arriving in the airport (expensive and time consuming)
4. Great sceneries

The only thing which I’m uncomfortable was the pressure. The train was moving too fast until I need to pop my ears constantly. Also, you might encounter with guests who will make lots of noise.

Well, I hope for those who read this, good luck on your journey!

Love,

Baskin Robbins Malaysia give out ice cream for FREE!

In view of the valiant efforts of our Olympian heroes, join in this Nationwide Celebration as Baskin Robbins gives out free Ice Cream on 8 August 2012 (Wednesday), 8pm to 10pm; All Baskin-Robbins Outlet *excluding two kiosks at Pantai Hospital Bangsar and Genting Theme Park.

There are tons of Sabahans were supporting Dato' Lee Chong Wei during his finals in London 2012. We love him as he fought for our country. Well, this advertisement stated "...make us Proud to be Malaysian". I have no choice but to say this. I do believe that Baskin Robbins do know that there are no Baskin-Robbins kiosks in Sabah but only sell in pint in several supermarkets. So? :-] 


In the previous announcement, please don't say available in the whole Malaysia if you are not.

This ads also makes me think, what do you mean by "make us Proud to be Malaysian"? Aren't we not?

If you do wanna make us all Malaysians to be happy, please be fair.

Well, I hope those will queue for the glory, not for the ice cream. :)
