So this is the first of two Blogposts about our time in Paris and the Music Bank concert. :D This one is probably the more boring part for most of you, but we took some nice pictures and wanted to share them anyways.
Before I start rambling: We already went to Paris about a year ago to see the SM Town concert. If you want to check out the Posts we made about that please click on these links. [Maren Paris Everything Else] [Maren's Concert Post] [Lyza Paris Everything Else] [Lyza's Concert Post]
Okay that said I will start talking about everything surrounding the concert :3 (so yes this means I won't talk about the concert in this post) However, let's begin:
We started our journey to Paris on Tuesday the 7th of Febuary before taking the bus at around 10pm we had the splendid idea that we, at least, needed Sistar Fansigns. Said and done, one hour before we took the train to Dusseldorf we started cutting out neon paper and gluing everything together. But it was worth it because first of all the girls actually noticed our signs and waved at us and second we were actually recorded and you are able to see our fansigns twice in the official Music Bank in Paris video that aired on the 18th.
Anyways we took the bus at 10 and for me it was just sleeping through until we nearly arrived in Paris at 6 am. We bought tickets to get to the station Bercy but nothing was really open. We finally figured out that McDonalds would open at 7.30 so we went to the nearest and had a nice cup of cappuccino.
We also needed to freshen up and change clothes. But we did not have an own hotel room for the night, we slept in the room of a really nice friend but she only arrived when we were already waiting in line. In the end we just used the McDonalds Toilet to do the necessaries. Here a picture of the table we hogged (you can also see our fansigns on this one! As well as us using the free wifi :D)
After that we went to the Kpop stores, we also recorded a video how to get there which will be up sooner or later, we went there more than once but here is the complete list of what we got. Three Sistar Albums: The first with Push Push, third with How Dare You and the fourth and newest with So Cool. A CN Blue Bracelet for Lyza as well as a CN Blue Clearfile for her. Three posters: Infinite's Sunggyu, Infinite's Dongwoo (both Photos from the Paradise Repackage) and one with CN Blue. One Infinite Handy Chain.
Around 1pm we decided to bring our big backpack to the hotel because we heard that you could put it in the storage room as long as you knew the person who rented the room you're staying in's name is. We did that without any problem and then just wanted to check out the queue but I will write about this in the other Post I'm about to make :D
Soo we met up with Nadine, the friend with the hotel room, after the concert and went to get a snack at the only open cafe around 12pm and then, after some fangirl talk, went to bed.
We got up early again the next morning because we wanted to go to the Kpop store again with Nadine and since we expected everyone to go there one day after the concert we decided to go there as early as possible. We arrived there and looked through the two stores again before deciding to get a Bubble Tea. The interior was really really pretty *3*
After that we grabbed some Macarons from McDonalds (yes in the French McCafe they actually sell really nice Macarons! I would kill to have some here right now D:) and then went to the hotel where Lyza and I checked in into our own room we had booked for that night. Nadine wanted to go and pick up her boyfriend who was just arriving at the train station and we decided to go looking for the Baby the Stars Shine Bright shop :D After some walking around cluelessly we actually found it. Guys it's so perfect D:
After that we met up with the two again and went to a Korean Restaurant we looked for online. The name of the restaurant is Shin Jung and if you're in France and want to go eat Korean you should give them a try the foot was really really delish! I can't seem to find their Online Page though :/
Mandu
Lyza ordered Bulgogi which was so tasty!
And I get myself Bibimbap
Normally there is at least one thing from the Banchan that I'm not really fond of but all of these were delicious as hell!
After that we did the romantic over kill and went to the Eiffel Tower! I've never been there before but it was really nice to go there once :D
That was really nice the only problem was (not only for that evening but the whole time) were the temperatures being below 0°C. It's really not nice, neither waiting six hours in the cold nor being on the Eiffel Tower.
We got up the next morning at 5.30 to get our train at 8 am (I still don't know what made us book a train this early but we managed it). The three-four hour train ride was okay but the aircon was broken thus creating only cold air which was really uncomfortable :/ But it was okay and we got home safely.
Just because they don't seem to fit anywhere else: This is a collection from cool 'graffities' around Paris that I needed to take a photo of ~
That's it for the around stuff I hope you enjoyed this even though it's not really about Kpop :D. We also made a video concerning all this which you can watch here:
Love,
Maren
PS. I hope the next part of this will be up soon but I still have the Gmarket Review in Queue and I think I'll try getting this up today plus the two videos we took for it so Part 2 about the concert may take another while. But yay!
