This time I'm not gonna tell you how to experience Paris or any of that bullshit but instead, I want to tell my tinderella story.

Before anyone comes in and comment on how young and stupid I am to meet random guys online when I'm overseas, please know that I am aware of the risks involved and obviously I did consider it but you only live once so do whatever you want & take risks because life is so unpredictable and you never know what it might bring you!

After coming back from Santorini, I started hanging out with different Tinder guys everyday. It made my trip a little less lonely and I managed to save a few bucks on transportation and MOST importantly, I also found people to take photos for me.

Versailles with Guy no.1

I had a good feeling about no.1 so I decided to ask if he would like to join me for a trip to the Palace of Versailles. And I was right, he was very knowledgable about his own country's history. Yea I scored a free tour.

I brought sandwiches from Monoprix and had a mini picnic with him at the Garden of Versailles and it was romantic. Our conversations were mainly about his tinder dates, the French revolution and how much I used to worship Marie Antoinette.

I had lots of fun during this very educational trip even though his photo taking skills weren't that good & I had some trouble understanding his accent (he's an African French) but it wasn't that bad.

We'll be meeting again on my upcoming trip to Paris in July and I guess... there'll be a part 2 with guy no.1.... so stay tuned....

Disneyland with Guy no.2

I went to disneyland with a Chinese French and it was his first time to Paris DL too! We communicated through Chinese so understanding each other wasn't a problem.

I have to admit that I did torment this poor guy's soul =') mainly because I wanted to meet Princess Aurora and Cinderella and the queue was almost 2hours long. BUTTTT I did tell him that he could try other rides without me... however, he didn't feel right just leaving me alone.... and so... we waited and waited and waited and I could tell that he was frustrated. Instead of getting to know one another during the long wait, he was chatting up with some random Father in line IN FRENCH that was clearly frustrated with his wife and children for wanting to waste 2hours of their life queuing to see these princesses. HAHA damn funny and paiseh.

He did cool down after lunch... and everything was going so well until 6.30pm... when ALL THE RIDES WERE MAGICALLY BREAKING DOWN. Nice attempt to chase everyone away so you can sleep early disneyland (fyi the park closes at 730pm or somewhere around there). We decided to leave because we can't ride anything anyway.

So... we were at the carpark and we saw a car of the same model and colour which was in a pretty bad condition and we mistook it for his. He fell down onto his knees in shock and exclaimed " who knocked my car?!!!" in chinese and kept mumbling to himself " wan le wan le wan le" meaning my life is over. I felt so bad for him and was thinking to myself " wahhh this guy must be damn shag... paid 100 euros to sit 4 rides today & now his car kena knocked."

I comforted him and he got up, pressed the button on his car key and realised that that wasn't his car. We both LOLed & he sent me home and we parted ways.

I'm really curious if whether he would still wanna meet up with girls from Tinder because I was his first Tinder date and I sincerely hope that I didn't scar him for life.

Montmarte & Jardin d' Acclimatation with

Guy no.3

When we matched we were mostly talking about League of Legends, anime and cosplay because of the interests on my profile and he was like " hey we should totally meet before you leave" and I was fine with it.

So the next day we met at the train station closest to Montmarte & if you've been to Europe before you would have probably seen or heard of this place-your-bet-and-guess-where-the-ball-is game targeted to scam tourists. We witnessed a korean couple getting scammed abt 100 euros and guy no.3 warned the couple that it was a scam which was a kind but pretty stupid move because the scammer got really mad and he grabbed him by his collar and told him to mind his own business or the both of us will get beaten up. No.3 slowly backed off and we walked away... less than 10 minutes of meeting and we almost got whacked... "this guy must be trouble" I thought to myself.

When we reached Montmarte he charmed the crowd with his piano skills (there was a free to play piano) and after that he brought me to his workplace where they do shoe painting. It was a super cool experience watching the artists at work . Then we went to Jardin for churros and some kiddy rides.... and yea... that's pretty much it...

My Last Day with Sissy

So I met a few more people that weren't worth mentioning because they were kinda boring... & ya I got sick of Tinder so I decided that my last day should be spent with Sissy.

We went to a diner, took photos at and nearby Palais Royal, had Japanese buffet for dinner and went to catch the fireworks for Bastille day and yea that's pretty much it. Thanks for the memories and see you soon Euro!
