Original 

I think my favorite part Versailles. Not just because of the garden but also because of the inside of every room. I went to the Notre dam, its a very big church and I see the built history of it and and see it was very small a long time ago. Then he establish another part of it, it took 200 years to finish constructing it. I tried famous local food called tartar, its fresh beef. It looks little but in fact I can’t eat it all. I also tried, escargot. I think the taste in Paris is not the same in Shanghai and I didn’t like it. I like France and I think speed of  life is more comfortable than Shanghai. Because when I went there, it’s there summer time so at 9pm local time its light. So you will feel all of the day is so long. I tried a piece of Cheese, not fondue, but the cheese was bought from supermarket and I cut a little from it and tried a little. It smelled like a bad egg. But I tried another kind of cheese, it didn’t a special smell or special taste.
