How was our experience?

Amazing the garden is beautiful, clean and there are too many posters and signage printed with facts about his creations. It was educational going to the garden and very relaxing place go and to live as well. The museum is very pretty loads of beautiful memorabilia. His life, family, education and work are there. If you pay for a visit you’ll discover so many things inside the museum. It’s worth a visit especially if you are keen on fashion and lifestyle. You will get more inspirations from him.

From Eiffel Tower, Paris To Your Home Country

Do you know how far you live from the Eiffel Tower, Paris, France?

I went to France for two weeks holiday. They say that when you go to Paris, you must see and visit the Eiffel Tower. Yes! I absolutely believe it’s a must see and worthy of going up to the top of the Eiffel Tower. The scenery is fantastic. The breeze is so refreshing in summer, but freezing when it’s windy and rainy.



In France tourism is one of the largest industries. They earn hundreds of millions of Euros per year. Tourists will pay fortunes for scenery and attractions. As long as they are happy and satisfied of the services. Getting a ticket to go up to the top of Eiffel tower is not as easy as ABC. You have to queue for four hours just to get a ticket, waiting for another hour, to enter the main gate to catch the elevator.


When you reach the 2nd level they have some amenities like restaurant, glass floor, viewing window, viewing gallery, gift shops, and snack bar. You can see lots of small people underneath of the tower queuing to get ticket and go up to top. Wait till you reach the top floor you can see how tiny those people are. They are like ants queuing to deposit the food they are carrying.



When we are on the top of the tower it was like being on top of the world. It’s one of the wonderful experiences for me and my 22 months toddler in a buggy, pushing and carrying was not easy for us. We queued and waited for more than five hours just to reach the top. The scenery is one thing we wanted to experience. It's not only scenery you can see; there is also history and facts behind the iron tower. Which were the highlights of our escapade on that day?



These are the facts I got from the Eiffel Tower ,Paris to Berlin, Germany is 882 km, to Manila, Philippines is 10 761 km, to Moscow, Russia, is 2 495 km, to China is 9 653 km and to Lithuania is 1 706 km.



I am originally from the Philippines and I found it very amusing and educating, isn't it very educational the trip? I know that scenery will always be the number one reason of going up to the tower to see the views and to see the whole city of Paris. Sometimes, travellers forget the history and the facts behind building the Eiffel Tower, majority of the travellers are pre-occupied by the views. Every corner has fantastic views. We had a fantastic holiday last summer for more pictures. Click Here!
