[Seo-yeon] My First Trip to Europe! (The day 1)




It was hard working to select the theme of the blog. I think that good blogging can be done by the blogger's real interest. So Seo-Ye and I decided to blog different theme. What I decided to blog is 'The Preparation for Europe Trip'.
 
 
  Actually, I already booked two airplane tickets. One is for me and other one is for my sister. The booking was done on 25 March, 2013. For about 2 months, I didn't have any plans. As I am a elder sister, I am responsible for my younger sister too. I have to purchase many things and look for some helpful tips for Europe trip. It takes really great times to search for information and I need to write down some memoes. That's why I decided to do this task with blog.  Many people who have been Europe for trips said that the most useful things to prepare are Eurail pass, international student ID card, and so on. So I will prepare those things step by step.
 
 
  As I was not ready for anything, the first thing to do is to determine where to go. There are many countries in Europe. That fact makes me keep agonizing. North Europe is too far from the Netherlands, at which I arrive. Also East Europe seems dangerous because of many gypsies. South Europe is not only far but also too much hot in summer. So I decided to go mainly West Europe. The first list I want to go was made up of these countries: Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, the Czech Republic, Germany, Switzerland, the Republic of Austria, the Kingdom of Belgium. But Europe is really large continent, and one country has many cities which I want to go. That makes me forgive Italy. If I go Italy, I wanted to go at least 4 cities: Pisa, Milano, Venezia, and Rome.
 
 
  So I decided to go 8 countries: Netherlands, the Kingdom of Belgium, Germany, the Czech Republic, the Republic of Austria, Switzerland, France, the United Kingdom in chronological order. Since I leave Europe at Charles de Gaulle Airport, France, I have to come back to France after the trip in the United Kingdom.
 
 
  Deciding the route was too harder than thinking of. Since I am not used to the geography of Europe, I took about 2 hours making moving line. It is really important job to make moving line because many things are decided by it. Eurail pass, for example, is decided by moving line. Many kinds of eurail pass are exist. Eurail Global Pass(for travel in 24 countries), Eurail Select Pass(for travel in 3, 4 or 5 countries), Eurail Regional Pass(for travel in 2 countries), Eurail One Country Pass(for travel in 1 country) are those kinds. I selected Eurail Global pass. I can travel 10 days in 2 months by train.
 
  As the trip route is ready, I can book the hostels in Europe. It can be hard work too. Since I have never been hostels before, I am a little bit excited! Those things will be done from tomorrow, maybe.
