where to go???

Ealier this evening, we went out for dinner at Sinbad. Our second time visit to sinbad this semester. FIY, sinbad is the only halal restaurant near our home, but due to its limited variety of menu, I seldom go there. Prefer to cook at home :). As the winter break is coming real soon, the most famous topic right now among the students here is - where to go during the holiday??? Me? no money, just stay rotten in moscow!!! hahahaha...

Yes, probably, this winter holiday, no travelling for me. My previous eurotour really did a lot of damage to my pocket!!! Now is the recovery period. Since I had been to a lot of places in europe, some of the junior came to me to ask for my opinion - where to go during the break? Well, since it's winter in europe now, I would say the best place to be is - ESPANA! Yup, spain. Y? even thou it's winter now in spain, there is no snow there, and it's actually quite warm. Plus, if u plan to visit spain during summer, it'll be extremely hot there! Furthermore, in spain, u can do ur tax free shopping!!! U can collect back the tax u pay for everything u bought in spain at the airport on ur way back home!

However, Paris is still my favourite. It is a must visit city in europe! If u ever plan to visit europe, make sure that Paris is in ur list!!! Frankly speaking, after visiting quite a number of cities in europe, I've come to a conclusion that, basically , everything is just the same in europe. Belgium, germany, portugal, spain, italy, most part of france... the building is just the same and so does the people and the food. But, there are a few exceptional cities such as Paris, venice , barcelona and amsterdam - which really have their own attraction. Eiffel tower in paris, the canal in venice, red light district in amsterdam and La Ramblas in Barcelona , these places give a special star to the cities :)
therefore, my advice to everyone who want to visit europe, make sure that u really do ur research before choosing ur destination. ( unless u are freaking rich and have unlimited budget ). Some places such as venice and paris are really expensive. But they have a lot to offer. Some places, such as brussels and madrid, I didnt see anything that really catch my eyes there. But, eventually, it's up to ur personal interest :). Have a great holiday everyone!
