28-29/9
I can say I admire the historical assets of the France, but not really appreciate the French.  We had a very bad experience in the Dijon Novotel Hotel.  It was raining when we were having our breakfast in that morning.  After breakfast we checked whether our luggages had been moved to the coach since we were leaving to Paris from Dijon.  We were surprised to find out our luggages were put under the rain outside and they were all wet.  Of course we complained to the frontdesk and the lady said it was nothing to do with her and she can do nothing for this.  We were very angry at that as her attitude was very bad and she even grasped my ballpen when I tried to jot down her name (her name Emmaulle, for future complaint) , "helped" me to write her name on the paper and "bang" my pen heavily on the desk.  ..that XXIXH.........I guess it is driven by discrimination toward the yellows...as I saw her treat the whites very politely while we were complaining........since then, French gave me a very bad image....and since then, I did spend some time to think what I can do for our nation to upgrade our international standing.....
But how come this nation has such rich historical assets!!  The Louvre Museum, the paintings, the scuplture (most were from Greek) were really impressive and I wish I could have enough time to revisit it one day in the future.  The Versaillies was also amazing!! They really spend a lot effort in preserving their assets. 
To my surprise, we stopped by Montmartre and visited the Basilque du Sacre-Coeur.  Suddenly I felt this place were so familiar and I remembered that I saw it before somewhere.  yes yes, it was my favourite film "Amelie from Montmartre".  It took here!!!!!!!
We left Paris, ride on Euro star to London on 30/9.
