Hey chaps..!! I am just taking a break from my Euro Trip tale to suggest people over in U.S some best travel Websites.

 According to Travel Expert Pauline Frommer, some of the best travel websites recently are

AIRFARE

Momondo.com

Sidestep.com

Mobissimo.com

Kayak.com

Wegolo.com (Inter European cheap Airfares)

Yapta.com is amazing website which will allow you to get your money back if the price got slashed after you bought the ticket. This one almost acts like your personal Travel Assistant.

FLIGHT SCHEDULES

Delaycast.com - This will allow you to see the possibility of you reaching your destination on time, based on the punctual history of the particular airline company.

HOTEL SEARCH

Hotelscombined.com is rated as the best website for Best Hotel Search.

CAR RENTAL

Bnm.com/ breezenet.com searches both the local car rental agencies and also all those multinational car companies where as our conventional priceline.com only searches those multinational agencies. But only advantage you can get through is you can bid the prices. So, often the best price you can get from the breezenet.com can be used to bid 30% low in priceline.com and there are chances that you can get for that price in priceline.com. So, try considering a look up in this Bnm.com.

3. Landed in Europe-The Paradise of World



I passed all those Immigration people easily and checked out my luggage. My friends Kk and Challa are already waiting for me. The whole breeze is smelling different and yeah, it is cold than my place. It is december in paris. So, the temperature is making rounds around zero degrees. We took an RER (err-uh-err is a french pronounciation) which is one hour journey from Airport to Cite Universitaire. RERs are the mode of transport for commuters in and around Paris.
France is a romantic paradise of the world. There is lot of PDA (Public Display of Affection) over there. I watched few couples (French)kissing badly in airport and RERs. My friends are suggesting me to avoid staring at them. But, How can i do that. I rarely saw them on the screens and may be sometimes i was watching any erotic stuff. But, I have never seen people kissing or smooching in live. When that scene is flashing on to my face, very first few times, I am a bit hesitant to even look at them. Even though my parents are not here, I am scared that my mom or dad will beat me, if I see them. I still remember few instances from my childhood, where my dad use to cover my eyes with his hands while watching movie in Movie theaters. Then starts the real struggle, i try my best to watch what is happening on the screen through the gaps of his fingers. I slept for sometime in my friend's room in Maison de L'Inde and Kk promised me that he will show the Eiffel Tower as soon as i step my foot in Paris. So, He planned that evening to roam around and we again left the room at 8PM.
We went to the station to catch an RER and we just waited there for few minutes and every couple in the subway is busy in their usual kissing business. Even i started ignoring them soon because it is everywhere. We went to Eiffel Tower and i think this is the first wonder of world I am going to visit because, i have never even visited TajMahal. My second day is December 31st and i went to shop around in a nearby "FranPrix" which is one of the biggest retail supermarket chain in France which belongs to Casino Group and has a revenue of 25 billion euros ($ 38 billion) which is 12% of the revenue of Walmart and sam's club together. Being substantially located in a small country and also has its presence in some other few countries,  I think Franprix is making quiet a bit of revenue. 
We are planning to go to the most expensive street in Paris, Champs-Élysées for the New year's Eve with few other students from India.
