Before 28 September, Walker's ready

Information:

1、frommer’s Europe 2004。

7 months, I went to Hong Kong, bought a frommer ' s Europe 2004. This book describes spots can also. But not me so hurry backpackers applicable, because it describes the hotel was expensive, not introduce youth hostel. As a result I find youth hostel on the way to find very bitter. There are two nights spent sleeping in the train station.

2、www.hihostel.com

My hi card hasn't expired, was to have the tour mainly live hi Hotel, in the checked before setting out some of the city's hotel information, but a few days before departure, particularly busy does not know whether it can take place.

To start the day before, because some things, too busy to put information in print. Thought the way airport station Tourist Board can have access to such information. So don't care about. But we know in Europe, the European tourism public service is very poor, no youth hostel, or a youth hostel directory is available free of charge, many parts of the city map is to purchase and not be made available free of charge. So this time travel, I once did not live hi hotel. A few times to find the hotel walked a lot of the way, is in the city.

If you need accommodation youth hostel, you can check in at this Web site, the information can be found in the online booking.

Europe's youth hostel, in the summer tourist season, it was very full.

3 tickets:

From Shanghai Fei European ticket range from Hong Kong.

Try to ask a few agents and you can get a good price. In addition, France air direct flights from Shanghai to Paris flights, there is a lift from Paris to the other major cities in Europe is free, if you intend to go to other cities, consideration could be given to his leg, that is, in Paris.

I was in a hurry, to 22, before deciding for tickets, so the price is not good.

4, the European train ticket

I am using eurail21 days valid ticket.

In the domestic sales of the ticket have three States or 5 valid ticket. You can access http://www.eurail.com,. In China, Beijing, Shanghai, Shanghai has their representative office can sales ticket.

If you frequently make train, purchase a ticket is very useful.

Ticket for use with some experience:

(1) If you time sufficient, be sure to use the train ticket to ride-harbour ferries superfast, because apart from the tax, the standard seat does not increase the cost (of course in the summer to increase by 8-10 euros, if you are small, but also additional costs).

Superfast Ferries has 11 floors, including top-the helicopter field, 8-10 layers are passengers, there are benches, sleeper, hotel room, a bathroom. 7 layer is the bar, shopping malls, banks, satellite phone, swimming pool, conference room. 0-6 is the train, car, container warehouse. Than the Titanic, Deluxe, experiencing a time of ferry's worth, if you and your lover go, it's a balmy, can the pendulum too tannike, posture, sit on the deck of the ship's side drinking beer at the Moon, you can see the sunrise sunset on the sea and the Black Sea night of terror and desolate. In Italy and Greece between the ferry, Finland.

(2) If you are a backpacker who, in order to save costs, you can take the train in the evening, generally in addition to positioning fees, not to increase the level of costs, I travel in Europe, there are 10 few nights spent on the train.

(3) If you sit overnight train positioning, generally only need a second seat can, in addition to the summer special, very few people in other time, in a sitting position sometimes is a balcony, with sleeping bags can sleep.

If you set the sleeper or 1, and so on, it was expensive, you want to add a lot of costs. I'm from Barcelona, Paris, 12-hour overnight train train, a second-class sleeper, to increase 59 euros (600 million RMB).

(4) If you sit high speed train, TGV, as eruostar, etc, to increase a lot.

I'm from Italy caserta to Bari, 2 hours of eurostar train, European ticket also increase 12 euros (nearly 150 RMB).

(5) in Germany, Austria eurailpass and Denmark are particularly good use, the basic no positioning, no additional cost.

Night car you want to locate, general location fee of € 6-7. But in France and Italy, many of the long line of trains are eurostar and TGV trains, positioning, to increase a lot. If you do not miss the time, you can take a long line train segment sat ordinary train, so you don't have to navigate, fewer costs. Austria and Germany train more beautiful, clean and Nice. You sit, warehouse 1 Austria train, there are five-star experience. Italy and France by train is rotten, it does not clean. ItalyThe train often do not have flush toilets.

Packing for a

Regular things we all know that remind some special place.

1, power: Europe outlet countries different, but round two plug can be generic, so if you need to charge with a two-round to plug Xiao conversion, so your charger that can be used.

2. sleeping bag: If you are a backpacker who, with a thin sleeping bag is very useful, in the train, ferry for the night can be used to hold youth hostel can also be used.

Woke up, they rush to pack.

10 point 10 minutes south of Shanghai to Paris. Because of the relocation of the airport, I haven't been to, so a lot of time in advance. Okay, got to the Oriental Hotel, go to the airport bus leaves the last seat. I never imagined in the early morning, sitting on the plane were true. New from Oriental Hotel to the airport, take the highway all the way, 30 minutes, compared to the original airport, downtown, but because of traffic jams, often to almost an hour to arrive. The efficiency of a city, with its transport system efficiency greatly. Transport efficiency is not the length of the distance, but the length of time.

Arrival at the airport, because the new airport, so I spent some time looking for road signs.

Reach the international departure hall, the first Customs checks. Originally found in the very wide, it is directly over. As earlier, so very few people crossing the border. A female officer Mr. see me carrying a backpack and asked if I was going to Paris to study. I would like to read books should not be like me, and of the backpack to read books, luggage should be grateful. Is thought, no timely answer, she took me to the other side, to open the packet] check. I had no choice but to obey. Open the package is very simple, just put the customs of a backpack, if there are two cameras, just let me go.

Then check I have been looking for in-Southern Airlines counter, but was not found.

A staff member to come and see my ticket that I cited to France airline counter. The original is China Southern Airlines and Air France flights, both in cooperation with China Southern Airlines flight number, airline, Air France. But China Southern airline, is not marked out, no wonder I couldn't find it. Check in time, knowing that this is a general Air France flight. I didn't expect to buy tickets, China Southern Airlines Air France plane, is also good.

In the Terminal, there are still some time sitting homework because little time before departure, no really good plan.

But I do information is limited, I do not know to the airport, the how to reach the city. The original plan, to Paris, in a clockwise direction, go to the scale, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, and finally returned to France and from Paris back to Shanghai. However, I get the tickets and train ticket, I knew the aircraft arrived at the CDG, is at 5 p.m., it is getting dark (European dark earlier, but this is the summer time). To Paris is to stay a night, but I have no reservations in Paris, the hotel also has full figure you can find the location of the youth hostel. From the train ticket attached schedules, I know from Paris to Spain Barcelona night train, so he decided to Paris, Lyon train directly to find out more at 8 points of a train to Barcelona. See formmer ' s Europe about Paris or key not found. This is what I said there is no lonelyplanet formmer ' s a reason. Previously I see lonelyplanet and rough guide, could find from the airport or railway station or bus station to downtown traffic guide. No way, can only be expected from the airport, the airport tourist information Office can provide useful information.

The hours on the plane, as are Air France's air service personnel, they will use Chinese said "Hello", but does not say "Welcome".

Air France's air hostesses are very nice. My seat was in the cabin of the first row, that is the location of lifesaving export, a seat, I think, does this really need to use the lifesaving export, then I close neighbour. It is best not to. Very good, the location is very wide, you can put your feet. Do long-distance planes, I fear to sit by the window's position because 10 hours of flight, in the middle to a few times to go to the bathroom, and sat tired, want to stretch out the feet, trouble next. So I always requires an aisle seat. But this seat by the window, but the front is the hostess seats, wide, and no need to trouble you, tired can in-place to stand up and walk. If the French or English, you can also chat face to face with stewardess. But I don't understand half of French, English is also very little, only smiled at her and she smiled at me.

From Shanghai to Paris, Air France France provided two times in total.

Middle can also go to eat after class. Probably it is estimated that some people eat a meal, so in aircraft houcang have instant noodles to eat. You can also drink water in the tank after drink. Seated next to me is a Taiwan businessmen in mainland China to do business has more than 10 years, this time with a Nigerian black big brother to Nigeria. The black brother Mandarin said well, better than me, really. They want to go in Paris at the turn of the airport in Nigeria for a night. We have some way to chat with or not.

To make a big meal, accidentally Air France to the France wine and liquor.

Taiwan's big brother to red wine, I asked for a small bottle of white wine, drink, St. Louis, not up to much. Maybe I'm not going to drink, then to the deck of beer. The Taiwan big brother drank that France's red wine is good. But he didn't get that one small bottle of red wine to drink. Come clean dishes such as attendants, to not drink red wine away. I know his heart in a pity. The second big meal, he didn't drink red wine into the bag. I was thinking, I come, if you also take France aviation, Louis wine taste.

On the plane, I looked at the Air France's air magazine, known from the machine

Field to urban areas there are several ways, public bus, rer train and Air France bus. Air France's bus directly to off to Barcelona Paris Lyon train station. So I intend to make the Air France bus to downtown (later know, my train ticket free sat rer to urban areas, which can save 10.6 euro).

5: 00 pm (Paris, daylight saving time), the aircraft landed at CDG.

Machine is most Chinese passengers, to travelling in transit to Italy Bologna, so they give priority to the aircraft. Some of the exit-staff in Paris too, one out of airplanes, then exports start checking passports. This check is the passport check advance check, I have access to many many times and never encounter. Two policemen to each person's passport, very thin, and saw a visa. The original next to the Taiwan big brother black friends, probably because there is no visa (Nigeria, but intends to transit in Paris), the result is to require the production of many files made me at his back, and so on for a long time. After the preliminary check passport, immigration counters, check for a passport, this is the official check, and then in the passport stamped with the seal of entry.

Because it was late in aircraft, together with the black brother missed some time after my addition to the entry clearance, and the aircraft was already gone.

A black brother a Bologna sign and asked if I was going to Bologna. I said no, and then play by signs. Came out, found to be out of the airport, the bus platform. But I haven't checked luggage. Suddenly some mixed up. Originally, over immigration, but also the baggage, after Customs examination, the only truly complete immigration checks. I can't find the luggage, with the aircraft to have disappeared (most people directly to board flight to Bologna's plane). Then go to the counter and asked where the luggage. They show me the way back. Original, France airport immigration counters and Customs counter is connected, through the immigration counter, to go to the side of the conveyor belt on baggage, come back and go through customs clearance. Because the two counters, without the baggage of persons directly out of the customs. So this single entry, I was in and out of the Customs twice. I went back to the baggage Hall, etc are few luggage, luggage luggage is also very small. Wait about 10 minutes, have not seen my luggage. I'm a little nervous, so run to Air France counter to report my luggage was lost. They are checked on the computer, tell my luggage is also shipping, let me go back to the baggage Hall, etc. I had to go back, then there is a long time before we see my luggage out alone.

First visit to Paris, no sense of excitement, but some blows.

Carrying luggage once again out of the customs. Probably it had black, who has less. Charles de Gaulle airport, not that I think that the airport in Western developed countries, but feel a bit crowded, chaotic, without some sense of space. Airport of various signage is also not clear. In addition to customs, I look for Air France to gare de lyon by bus. But the bus Air France did not like their promotional materials on the marking of 1, 2, 3. No tag destination. Airport outside a bit cold. See an Air France bus to himself, he went to ask. But Paris people don't speak English, drivers do not understand. Fortunately the side have airport staff, told me to get on the train. But they want to 12 euros, I don't have cash, take out a credit card, they are not affected, only accept cash. Only and some information on the very different, in fact, in many parts of Europe, or to use cash, credit card in Europe than in North America that used generally. I had to get off to the airport Exchange Office for $ 100. But only for 68 euros (later elsewhere, you can swap 75-78 euros). Back to the bus station, waiting for the next car.

Cars, drivers are black.

Suddenly discover Paris with many, many blacks. Airport inside cleaning, ground crew, the bus driver. Later I was in Paris in the street, look at a lot of black shadow. And in the subway, subway, half of blacks. In the back of the flight, Air France has a black crew. In Shanghai, many black people speak French, that they come from Africa, in fact, many come from Paris, Oh. Black, white, a baby's life. We may, in the near future, Paris will blackening, a black Paris.

The bus arrives at the Lyon train station, is already getting dark.

Find Lyon Station international tickets and eurail service, train ticket on entry into force, and have to go to Barcelona by train, but there is no car to go to Lyon, Barcelona, the conductor asked me to the Seine opposite o Justine railway station by car. I knew I was sitting directly to the Austin station rer station. The timetable for the train ticket information is not provided. No way, but to set the ticket, but a second sleeper to 59 euros, there are no seats. I suddenly feel that my money may not be used, in order to cut down.

Buy a ticket in the conductor's pointing down, walk 10 minutes to the railway station of the Seine River across from the Austin.

It was very dark, very few pedestrians on the road already. 8 point 20, I boarded a train to Barcelona. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival night, Mid-Autumn Festival night on a train in a foreign country, a little feeling of purines, there are some special taste. I just started my across Europe.
