:)

Visiting Paris is magic. So many things I've studied at school and read of, and now I can see them personally.

It was a short visit, just for 4 days, so I focused in visiting the classics.

Good things of Paris:
- The Wine: Even the cheapest french wine is very good, and is good for the freezing cold of the french winter.
- The Metro: Every attraction can be reached by the metro network, it's old but in excellent condition.

Not so good:
-Credit cards: I'm used to pay everything with credit card when I'm travelling. In Paris (and I think in Europe in general) many stores don't take credit cards :(
-English: In many places English is not spoken, so it'd be a good idea knowing some basic French...
