Still need help~

[pez]

Still not sure where to go -_- have decided that we don't want to be sightseeing all the time. As in, there should be places to do things or watch things be made. Chocolate factory, huge toy stores, or wine making, that sort of thing (I'm not particularly imaginative atm). Or markets. Any sort of suggestions?

Chocolate museum. We have one. :)) Other than that... uhm...

XD!

Can I ask, what's there to do in Paris apart from sightseeing...?

Shopping, playing bowling, whatever you do in a civilised city, says the expert (who is currently without net connec because my router has decided to plague a different computer today).

Hmmm... I note the lack of excitement in the reply XD If someone asks me what's there to do in London, I can probably say quite a lot XD

This trip thing is beginning to hurt my head and it hasn't even started. In fact, deciding where to go when both participants don't mind where to go is the problem.

If the weather forecast is good, I say Stockholm. It is pretty, there are very nice museums, and the rest would probably have to be researched.

In fact, why don't you just choose according to weather? I just looked at the forecast for here, and while it's gonna get warm again tomorrow, it is also going to rain a lot, and get back to like it is today (coldish and rainy) on the weekend. I think the weather would be a good deciding factor.

*sigh* It also has to do with me not actually wanting to go anywhere (at least in Europe). And the fact that my sis may sulk later on because she might not be able to go along.

I went to the bookshop today and every guide book and website talk about museums as if they're the only thing to see, it's so strange! Why would people on holiday want to go to museums...? I suppose I'm just not a museum fan. I'd go in my own time, but not waste my precious holidays staring at stuff under a roof. ^^"""

Well, actually... the Swizerland Transport Museum in Luzern is very, very cool. Also, it has an IMAX. Seeing as I am starved for IMAX action and the museum really ain't half bad, I went there for a full day every time I was in Luzern. So, some museums are cool.

Other than that... I like architecture, and since museums usually are cool for that, I like seeing them. In particular the Tate in St. Ives left an impression, and I've been back there several times, regardless of the art on display. But in general, museums are not my thing, either. When I travel, I go sightseeing, and I shop. I like shopping. Shopping makes the Tine happy. I also tend to sample food more regardless of price than when I am at home.

So in summary: nice architecture, possibly a few sights, good food, and shopping, that's the good stuff. >_> Let's all go to HK together sometime?

Ah, but architecture =/= museums. And Tate is a gallery, not museum ^_~ (and Tate St.Ives is uber cool) Museum is... spending a lot of time understanding background or history, which is time I usually can't afford whilst on holiday, unfortunately.

You should've seen me shopping... XD

I like sightseeing. I'm not sure if my mum likes it very much. She gets tired too easily.

HK YAY!

Just checked a couple of cities that were mentioned, but except for Spain, got no city without rain on the weekend. Of course, it's only Tuesday, so the forecasts may be wrong, but... seems like rain all around.

-_-" maybe next weekend then...

I just don't like planning stuff when it's not for just myself ~_~

You live in London, I don't live in Paris. :p

What's there to do in London apart from sightseeing?

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

There's loads of nice (or weird) food if you know where to go. And if you come at the right time, you can go to things like the Notting Hill Carnival. Plenty of shopping. Even if you don't like shopping, Camden Market and other markets are just cool~

And there's Tez-plush!
