Oh my god! I love going to Paris, it is so different from
Medan. I am so lucky to visit this gorgeous place every year. The weather is
fine, not too hot, windy most of the time, and its nice breathing fresh air
rather than breathing toxic gases coming out from vehicles on the busy roads of
Medan.
I remember the first time I arrived in Paris. I was with my
parents, in the taxi heading towards the hotel. I was looking out on the
window, observing what a wonderful place I’d arrived in. The speed of the taxi
was fast without all the traffic jam, I think it is because Paris has good
traffic regulations. I saw many people walking on the street instead of
vehicles crowded on the road. Maybe its because Paris is cleaner than Medan, or
perhaps Medan is too hot since it is located near the equator and people do not
like to walk under the hot sun.
The architecture was amazing, houses are arranged in an
orderly and linear pattern, rows of identical houses attached next to each
other on both sides of the road, it made me speechless. It is nothing like
Medan, where there is a lot of noise and the houses looked old which seems like
a lot of mess. Almost every road that we passed by has a café where many people
coming in and out of it. Life in Paris seemed so peaceful and easy . Many people ride bicycles on the road, which
is my favourite sport, I am eager to ride that bicycle. I can’t ride bicycle in
Medan because it’s too hot and kind of dirty.
We arrived in Hotel Balzac, the famous hotel of Paris. We had a clear image of the Eiffel tower on our
window in our suite. The nights of Paris is so beautiful, especially the view
from our window of the shining Eiffel tower. The night of Medan I remembered
was not as bright.
