One can’t go to Sweden without going to the Northern light tour… it wouldn’t be right.. in fact.. our trip wouldn’t be complete without seeing the Northern lights. It is during the winter.. that we can see these spectacular lights .. at nite. A trip is about 3 – 4 hrs long.. and we went by snowmobile.. although one can go with dog sled too. .and that would be really fun. Visiting the Abisko Sky Station is a must.

Marseille in France is one of the most populated city in France. During the summer .. it looked like the whole of France was there. Situated in the southern part of the Mediterranean sea, also commonly known as the French Riviera. We had awesome weather .. when i was there.. and it was really beautiful. The sun was warm.. and the blue skies just dazzled us. Enjoying the sea breeze was absolutely priceless .. while we soaked in the scenery.
You can see here why everyone thinks that France’s oldest city is a pride, it was definitely an amazing sight. It’s modern yet old but what a dynamic culture we have here. With countless of beaches in Marseille, the natural wild beauty around the island was one of the best thing that i remembered of Marseille. I hear you can go to Marseille all year round.. because the weather is always good. Dining outdoors at their lovely cafe .. enjoying the sun seems to be the thing we did often .. when we were in Marseille.
When i left Paris, some years ago.. after a short work stint of 6 months.. i cannot help but wanna stay a wee bit longer.. and a soak in more sights and the scene and the food. I would roam the streets for hours.. on those last days… and get as many pictures and memories store in my then not digital camera.
Paris brings back loads of fond memories.. from romance along the Seine to landscapes on bus-sized canvases to the outdoor cafes. Paris is the essence of all things French. Take in the beautiful sunset and its breezy boulevards, impressive monuments, great works of art and magic lights. Savour its gourmet selection of cheese, chocolate, wine and seafood. Feel the wind in your face as you rollerblade through Bastille, or a frisson of fear and pleasure atop the Eiffel Tower.
I love the food in Paris. You can find some pretty good food and cafes .. if you don’t mind the small. The Au Chien Qui Fume that serves great foie gras and smoked salmon, they are all made inhouse. Of course you have to try their oysters and shellfish that you can get all year round. It was an awesome place to be.. and they didn’t make me speak in French.. that may be because i’m Chinese.
