Trip to PARIS, the city of LOVE

<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/12431917/?claim=4w3tr9j9s2t">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>


I have been travelling for a month to different countries in Europe
 as an exchange student and Paris was one 
one of the stops. 

 We visited 4 Countries, 6 cities in 21 days 
and we stayed in Paris for 2 days in a hotel called " IBIS BUDGET". 
Paris has always been my dream because c'mon who wouldn't want to stand before the huge EIFFEL TOWER and go to the top of it and shop in CHAMPS ELYSSES 
and tie a lock on the famous LOCK BRIDGE and get a selfie with MONA LISA and 
eat the MACARONS from LADUREE and I fortunately did all of that.

It was an experience of  a lifetime and I wouldn't trade it for anything in this world.

Stuttgart, Germany was our main stop. FEG ( friedrich eugens gymnasium ) was the school with which
my school has an exchange relation. The students from FEG came to India in January 2014
and I'll write about that in another blog post.

Also, I'm going to write about all the details and the experience in a separate blog post 
which would entirely be on Stuttgart where we stayed for 10 days with our host students of FEG 
and it was undoubtedly the best 10 days of my life 
and the best part of the whole trip too.

For now, this is how the city of love looks.

A Trip to Dehradun ...

Nestled in the mountain ranges of the Himalaya, Dehradun is one of the oldest cities of India.
It is situated in the northern part part of India which generally experiences cold temperatures almost throughout the year ( and I went the in December when the weather couldn't have been worse). 
Anyways as I had a small winter vacation (only 10 days) we decided to go there. I always have a good picture about places, things and people initially so,
 I thought it would be perfect and beautiful and much more cleaner than the city I live in.
Yes, it did turn out to be that way but besides the freezing cold weather, my journey was a bit bumpy. 
We had to travel in two trains before we reached the high sloped area.
The station was so crowded and there was a rush all around (I was even afraid of losing my luggage at some points. But it was quite worth it.

We went to all kinds of markets and food places that the place had to offer.
The place was much more developed than many other places in India. It has all the branded stuff and costly places to reside in on the main big streets. 
I went to one of the biggest school in Dehradun, The Cambrian Hall. It had a beautiful building and a very exciting place for students. I have to tell you, that place is all about rivers and mountains and its soothing to see such beautiful places sometimes.
 I never wanted to leave (just kidding. it was too cold). I am a summer person, but I seem to be liking winter because of such places.
I also saw the Tons River there. It was such a great experience an I loved every moment of it and I can't wait to go back and see more of the exciting things there. 

 People from different religions stay there. Everyone was so sweet and welcoming there. Sometimes, I didn't feel like I was away from my place.
It has definitely an improved education system, proper transport and good communication system, development of that region has gained appreciable pace.
 Dehradun is home for many prominent schools in the country. 
Oh and, Blue buses are the main way of transport in the city. There's so comfortable and clean and travelling was so much easier while going to see higher ares and mountains 
where the cars couldn't reach. 











 Thanks for dropping by

My First Time

As wondrous and absurd it may sound, it's worth the excitement and adventure.
Knowing about other cultures and lives,
diversities and parted mentalities. Yes, it has always appealed to me.

I don't know of what is yet to come, it's uncertain. What I do know is that someday,
my decisions would make me a mature
and different person. Knowing about so many different places and their ways of living.
Sharing ideas and views.

Cheers to a new start ....!
I'll be posting about all the places I have been to and my daily life soon.
