FRANCE and alittle bit of Amsterdam

We'll hello everyone,
its been awhile since ive had the chance to gnaw at your minds.
Im sitting now in my friend Toms apartment in Hilversum which is some 20min away from Amsterdam, which where we spent the day exploring the backside of Amsterdam (ah ah ah) more about that later,we arrived from france this morning on a 3 hour train journey leaving home 6 this morning, im sure you wondering how france treated us.

We arrived in france late in the night three days ago and got to the awesome Charles de Gaulle airport where we where very impressed and excited. We unfortunately started to loose our confindence in the place as we scaled deeper and deeper into the heart of Paris. Now theres a few things I have to say about france some good and some more bad, might aswel speak about the bad stuff first.
Firstly the French, they're not the most pleasant of people in the whole world, we found them very anti-tourist in a very unsociable kind of way.You get a unwelcoming chill pass over you as you scour through the city. Another thing about Paris is its a city where you get the impression that everybody in france is trying to get as close to the city centre as possible which makes it very busy,full of tourists and locals. Paris reminds me a little of a poem that i have made called 'Paris' it goes...
wake ,que ,eat, que,find a train,que,get on train,hold your nose,que, run,que, gasp, que, eat, que, get ripped off ,que, sleep. 
 this poem was inspired by a que we stood in while i was eating.

Although Paris is an exauhsting city and we where dead tired after our three days there partly due to the fact that we where sleeping on upside-down cannoes but also because we walked paris silly, we headed up to Palace of Versailles on the second day and somehow ended up with a tour giude and there we had an amazing time where we got a glimps of Paris as it may have been 200 years ago, minus 12 000 tourists.

We had a lovely smooth journey into Amsterdam this morning where i spent the whole train trip glude to the window in amazement of the wind farms , kilimoter long green houses and aquaducts. We have met Tom and are living with him and his friend "Lyon" at the moment and having a great time,
until next time
