I took a bullet train from Schipoll Airport. Reached Paris 2.5 hours later. Check into a modest hotel or a motel in fact. Things are very expensive here. I just live on bread and coffee. Next day I bought the day fare ticket for Paris underground train. The first place I went to visit was the Eifel Tower. Later walked to the Etoile and visited Notre Dame and other famous sites. Later that night I took a night train to Frankfurt. I had to share the sleeping berth with 5 other passengers. Reached Frankfurt 7 hours later. Check in to the airport business lounge, cleaned myself, took a bath and enjoy breakfast while waiting for the flight back to Kuala Lumpur Malaysia
