Nine p.m.. Freezing weather. France, which I saw as soon as I got off the plane, was very dark. It was the first time that I had gone abroad by myself. The exotic language which I couldn't understand, my silly sense of direction, and the fact that my country is far from that country made me feel confused and gave me the creeps a little bit. However, on the other hand, these things made me feel excited as well. With these various emotions, I went to the hotel which I had already booked. And the first day in France passed like that.
Once starting to travel in Paris, I felt it was totally different from the first scenery I had seen the day before in lots of ways - delicate and beautiful cathedrals, which I couldn't believe were made a very long time ago, the spectacular Eiffel Tower, the amount of pieces of art in the museum which it is impossible to see in a day, the friendly and welcoming people, including tourists. All of these didn't give me the time to miss my family and friends.
However, if I have to choose one thing the most impressive, it will be warm hearted French people. One day, I arranged to go to Alres from Marceille, but I had got lost way on the way to go to the station, so I missed the train. Sun set, and it began to snow. I couldn't wait for the train which had already left anymore. Then, one French man came and told me he would take me to my destination. At first, I was worried a little bit, but eventually I could arrive Alres safely.
Even though I had mistakes sometimes, and weather was very frosty, I was very glad and satisfied with that travel. Because I could learn lots of things through that. I will never forget that memories.
