A cup of coffee with three different capital: Madrid, Lisboa and Paris

Flight from Paris to take the "reckless traveler" back to Lisbon in time for midnight, complete the final adventure on schedule, breathed a sigh of relief. Adding a night of pretense at the airport does not seem to matter to those who have just returned from a dream filled with emotion in the capital.

The morning I woke up early, I took advantage of the quick check-in procedures and customs, then reward yourself a cup of coffee to prepare for the long flight officially closed the trip.

 

. A Madrid raced down the rain. A slowly lulled Lisbon. A glorious Paris. Sip a cup of coffee, reminiscing little by little about the four countries, the four capitals that the new traveler passes through.

 

The first is my feeling of Madrid with this iced coffee amidst the Puerta del Sol sunrise in the Spanish capital Madrid. It is said that one of the no-safest tourist destinations in the world is Spain, typically in Barcelona, with robbery taking place on the streets as dangerous as Sai Gon in Vietnam (although heartbreaking but to humiliate the country about this bad situation). So, after spending a peaceful day in the city of Madrid, I am so thankful that I did not harm you.

 

Since I went to Barcelona and lost my cellphone there, apart from Madrid I got a plus point for security order here because I noticed on the road or in the train stations that there was absolutely no " dirty dress ", dressed as diners or illegally immigrated North Africans, make a living with dishonest occupations. In addition, another plus point of light that Madrid deserves to be granted to metro system in the capital, clean interior, eye-catching station. The price of food was reasonable, cheaper than Paris (a 3 euros loaf of bread was adequate and full of breads of EUR 5 equivalent in France). Friendly people, asking directions very caring guide. The Spanish people are generous and quite "eight", on the train, in the restaurant, laughing loudly say. And in particular, I discovered the Spanish sound very close to Vietnamese. Listen to the sound of talking in the distance to hear the Vietnamese talk. You have been to Spain, please help me verify.

 

The most peaceful street, the most pristine street and the cheapest price among all four are Lisbon - the Portuguese capital. This city is more rustic and modest than other glittering cities. If you want to see a true old Europe you should visit Lisbon. Because of the old town, the old streets are still intact, the smooth streets and pavements are beautiful, the ancient fortresses and churches stand proudly on the red tile roofs surrounding them. Hill. And most of all, it still retains the classic bold public transport of tram.

 

Moreover, due to differences in living expenses so sleep, go back to Lisbon extremely cheap, thrifty than the other two cities. Hostel prices range from EUR 10 to EUR 20. Ticket metro / bus / tram travel regardless of the short-term by-turn only 1.15 euros, while in Madrid was 1.5 euros, while in Paris was 1.7 euros. Card "1 day pass" in Lisbon only cost 5 EUR (effective within 24 hours from the time trigger), should actually be able to use for 2 consecutive days. The same card in Madrid is € 8, while in Paris the same cover is € 10.4. Anybody preparing to come to Europe in the future should also pay attention to a detail of the metro's operating hours. In Europe, people living in Asia should 6h later than thirty new tram trip comes first, the reverse operation is very late at night, until the end of trip 1h new thirty. In all 3 metro system that tui tested this time, in addition to Madrid is the highest rating, the Lisbon ranked second, while Paris ranked last in terms of hygiene and quality, there are plenty of beggars at the door station .

Our biggest complaint is the symbol of Paris metro no uniform, when the "Metro", when the "Metropolitan", each place a color, a shape, different typefaces, it is difficult to distinguish.

 

I have a miscellaneous desk, talking about Lisbon. Back to the story of Lisbon, I want to add an extra dimension. Not only the beautiful city but also the beautiful Portugal. Compared to the people I met on the street or on the tram in Spain or France, the Portuguese impressed the most attractive. Maybe because people here are more European, less mixed. Female beautiful eyes, deep, shiny brown hair. Male nose is high, balanced body. The Portuguese sounded more pleasant and sang better than that of its Spanish neighbor. The Portuguese are quite kind and gentle, no style. From the hostel staff, to the grocery store staff and the eateries, everyone impresses me with friendliness and hospitality.

 

Finally,I will have to mention the beautiful Paris girl again.

Talk about her this lovely, need to tell the first "problem" kiss, hehe

French people like to kiss and love to get married. Visitors here also racing (!) Instant scenes, learn in a warm way. I watched a free "30 min" movie on the bus from the airport to central Paris. Number is, sitting opposite me is a pair of lovers (older men, young women) heard through the voice is definitely not French but looks like from a certain Southern Europe, your lips are tied together like no one, without paying attention to the two elderly people sitting nearby. It seems that people here are familiar with the "open film" so this old couple is not uncomfortable, the eyes seem to be interested because it seems to see his youth (!?). Then on the road, on the train, in the park, the more livid. It seems that people live in Paris and come to Paris to kiss. Recognized in this beautiful city of dreaming, the couple does not do this also.
