  • There are a lot of men selling tacky things to tourists! At the Eiffeltower there are really a lot of them! Many Indians who sell waterbottles, Coke, postcards, Eiffeltower keyrings etc. When it starts raining, they run away and come back with umbrellas! A bit expensive, but if you really need something while you stand in that long line, it's convinent. They can really bug you sometimes, but just say no and try no to look at them. Actually, they're kind of fascinating!

  • After we checked in our luggage at the Charles de Gaulle airport, we were told to take the stairs up and there it'd be shops and cafés. Well, after they checked our tickets, we went up the stairs and went to our gate. But, there were no shops to be seen except a last minute taxfree shop. We couldn't go back down either as there were no stairs. So, check carefully where the shops are before you leave the transithall. I still don't know where the shops are, but I think a floor down from the check in desks.
