I know...most of you are probably thinking "No its not..its Monday.". However for me its "Thursday". Tomorrow is "Friday" because I leave Africa and start my 26 hour journey back to the US. Its a long trip with a 5-6 hour layover in Paris (ugh). Its not as glamorous as it sounds, its not enough time to do anything in Paris(assuming of course there was anything that interested me in Paris).
Ive missed my flight in Paris a couple of times. The first time I went into Paris and saw all the sites; Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Louvre, Arch de Triumph, Hard Rock Cafe...but I found the people very rude, even the shop keepers. Yes I tried to do a little shopping in Paris ( I figure when in Rome do what the Romans do?) Shopping is what I associated with Paris...lol..anyways even the shop keepers wouldnt speak English and pretended like they didnt know how to speak English. Im sorry, I know its France and they speak French. But its Paris, and again its France surrounded by the UK and other countries that dont speak French. Most people have a working ability of English. So on my second time in Paris, I just stayed in the Hotel waiting for my next flight...lol. I bet it sounds snobish of me because I know lots of people in the US who would die to go to Paris.
Anyways, the travel isnt too bad. Luckily for me, the rules with my company is that I fly business class. Its nice because you have the wider seats, but your still stuck in a seat on an airplane for that many hours.
However, in 2 weeks I should be able to tell you everything thats going on in my life right now because there are some big changes. But as in any blog/webpage, I dont know who is reading so I dont want to risk anything. But as soon as everything is confirmed I will definitely be posting about it. Lets just say the change is "life changing"...lol

ReplyDeleteyea Ive been really spoiled. Its hard for me to get on an airplane now and not go business class...lol. I fly every 28 days (4 weeks) from the US to Africa or Africa to the US or Africa to/from Korea, all business class....I'll tell you what, its the only way to fly...lol. If my company wasnt paying for it, I definitely would not be flying business class..just too expensive. Its a great way to get air miles though.

Why didnt I think of that before??!!! man!! My trips to Paris were before I got the "Korea Bug". But even back then I'd go out of my way to have Korean.
If you ever want an interesting "Korean Meal" there used to be a "Korean Barbeque" restauarant here in Equatorial Guinea. Lets just say, it wasnt like any Korean BBQ Ive ever had!
