Late 2007. I traveled alone from Jakarta to Paris via Dubai. It was a long journey, I remembered I spent 6 hours in Dubai waiting for the connecting flight by Emirates. I was so excited as I consider this as my revenge trip:) .. yes, a revenge ^^. I planned to "pulang kampung" to Amsterdam after I finished my "mission" in France and met my friends who were still hanging their destiny in the country of Orange.I arrived in Paris, took the train and went directly to the youth hostel as instructed by the Map^^, yeah, only a map, no one picked me up, this is what we call " a traveler", a real traveler, right?
I was chosen to be part of "Asia-Europe Young Volunteers Exchange", organised by CCIVS/UNESCO, and here where the story begins.....
I was in Paris for only three days, before I moved to rural area, outside Paris to do my assignment. When I saw the place, I fell in Love,... just love the hills and the smell of Europe's villages.. here are the pictures of where I lived for 7 days :)
nice small city, I really had good times in this place. A bit spooky.. but it's ok, felt like living in a castle:).. The friends, food and programme were good... I also had the chance to visit Vichy.. a beautiful City... 
well.. after 7 days in the rural area, I went back to Paris for another workshop. I went to Eiffel tower with my friends which I met on the first day.. nice gathering and chit chat..
