A trip to my dream world~~


We went to a small town near paris last week called CHAMPAGNE~~ from the name, i think it's quite straight forward that it's a town that produces Champagne. well, i do not know much about champagne but i sure like the taste of it. The famous MOET is there too. We were told that MOET has a factory just tourists. You pay something like EUR 25, maybe get two classes of MOET champagne and you will be introduced the production process...well, luckily my brother-in-law knows someone who can show us for free! thank god! 

The scenery on the way to Champagne looks just like the postcard or movie scenes we see on TV or magazine...both sides are full of nice color trees and grassland with blue sky~~~ sometimes they plant veggies on the land which makes the land looks colorful...it's so nice and the weather is good too. as we approached the small town, it kinda felt like we went back to the medieval time. looks so ancient and i was imagining that there might be horse carts coming, people dressed in Victorian style having afternoon tea in the garden, gossiping about something. 

the town is full of rich people...apparently the people who live there are mostly champagne producer and each house has a huge underground cellar. you have no idea how BIG the cellar is! we visited the friend's underground cellar...i am impressed! they even do champagne tasting underground with a mini bar! And you should see their collection! gosh, it's worth a lot of money~~

we paid nothing for the introduction, we got to see how they make champagne for free, we got to see the huge underground mansion & the collection and the best thing was, we enjoyed two bottles of really good champagne for free! gosh, this is heaven....i wish we could stay longer~~
