俄羅斯: 行前準備 / 踏足莫斯科 Moscow, Russia Day 1



家人和朋友時常會問:“你下一站去哪裡?”

通常被問的當下,要不還沒決定新的旅程,就是有了點想法,卻未真正地去規劃。所以如果我保持沉默,不是因為在賣關子,而是真的不知道“下一站”何去何從。

My Love-Hate Relationship with Paris

My Love-Hate Relationship With Paris

The "City of Lights" was never my top choice of city to visit in Europe. Why? Because much had been heard & read about the city's unclean, full of scams & unsafe to hang around, and Parisians are rude & arrogant. But then, any travellers in their right mind wouldn't give Paris a miss, would they? In the end, this city which is well known for its romantic & historic cityscape, coffee, exquisite cuisines, and croissants has made it to my itinerary, and it turned out to be one hell of an unforgettable experience.
