More Lyon pictures



The view from one of the hills Fourviere. It was really beautiful, you could see the whole city from up there.



Another Mur Peint, it looks pretty real huh? - No, the person on the picture is not me, it's a friend.



A picture of the Catholic Church Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourviere.

Pictures from Lyon

I thought I'd share some of the pictures I took from Lyon, France.

Picture one:
A mur peint - a big 3-dimensional painting on a wall, that tries to "fool your eye" you look at it and think that it's real, but in reality it's merely a painting.
This is one of the biggest ones in Lyon called ”Le Mur des Canuts”


This is the Eiffel Tower in Lyon. It's much smaller than the real and famous one in Paris, France. But it actually looks taller, because the tower can be found on top of a hill. It was NOT built by Mr. Eiffel. Today because it's so tall, it's being used as a TV-satellite.


The roman theatre in Lyon, France. Often used for festivals etc.


More will come some time later.

Back from Lyon

I'm back from a wonderful trip to Lyon, France.
I was totally sceptic and stuff, but I was truly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I could mention a lot of things that I wasn't entirely satisfied with, but I can also mention things that exceeded my expectations. Whatever happens, I know I should be looking at the positive sides, which I am doing right now. Therefore, I'm happy to say that it went really well, despite all sorts of ups and downs, I will look back at this trip and know for sure that I enjoyed it! ;)

I was so pleasantly surprised that I might even go again some day. Enough taking about that though, I could go on for hours, but instead I will upload some pictures that I took. Not today, considering the fact that I am supposed to do my homework, and I am still suffering from some kind of fatigue. I suppose it's some kind of jetlag, except it doesn't really make sense, since there's no time difference between France and DK. But it might be a change of environment.

The last episode of Bull Fighting aired today. I was happy and sad at the same time, I really enjoyed watching it. Now I won't have this drama to look forward to. Although I think I'll watch "Fated to Love You" starring Ethan Ruan and Chen Qiao En which will replace BF. But who knows whether it will be just as good as BF. I have to admit though, the ending was slightly disappointing. No kiss, only hugs. But Sheng Xue and Ruo He did get engaged, I guess that sort of makes up for the lost kisses, but still. I will embed the final episode later. Maybe tomorrow, cause it's despite my disappointment, a must see!

Lyon in 3 days!!


Okay, so despite some bad news yesterday on our study trip to Lyon on Tuesday, I will have to remain optimistic and have some fun. I look forward to it again, so what if situations didn't turn out as I wanted them to, I've been looking forward to this trip for the past 8 months. Besides the trip was rather pricy, so it better be good!
I'm attaching a picture of a "Mur Peint" which is basically a wall of a building with a two-dimensional painting that is supposed to "fool your eyes". It looks pretty real, huh?
