From London to Paris
The first train I ever taken was the train from Hanoi to Lao Cai. It was the VIP sleeper class and in my opinion, it was AWESOME for a country like that.
For Eurostar, it was so so only. I think my expectations were too high. But I've to say the railway station was pretty! The whole facade looked like a museum itself. Too bad I was busy dragging the luggages that I forgot to snap a photo of it.
At least when I received this ticket, I was still anticipating.

The interior of the station that look somewhat like the station in Harry Potter movie? You've gotta minus the lighting and us though.
Out of the blue, these 3 guys played disney songs. Pretty amazing I must say! Its only with these 3 instruments!
Eurostar, the train that brought us from London to Paris through the English Channel. It is just a tunnel where you look out of the window and you see your own reflection.
For a short journey of 2 hours, it link you between 2 countries and many other countries in the EU. But it comes with a price too! The ang mo know how to make money man. I remember paying like USD25 or slightly more for the train in Hanoi which took us abt 12 hours. This 2 hour journey cost almost a CRAZY 100£ (~SGD 236 that time). I think I felt cheated. To console ourselves, I can only say the scenery is pretty and at least you see handsome and pretty caucasians.
In the English Channel. You get what I mean?

Welcome to Paris!
