Alvin says.... A great relaxing escape after so many heavy loaded cities...
Wonderful wonderful layback city of lyon... compare to its counterpart Paris... its not so much of a happening place... but more of a beautiful smaller town still preserving its charm but lacking the harshness that big cities tend to have...
its as if ppl here got nothing to rush to.... and things here also jus turn smaller.. Their train is only 2 cabin for example... not too crowded always... you dun really see ppl walking around everywhere u go... kinda like how it feel like in berlin... as in not really crowded... not really packed.. kinda like how it feels in berlin... loving it.... lovely lovely alley and street too... not run down kind of old.. but old with flavor...
after so long on the road... its kind of nice to jus layback abit and not have to think of where to go... or have a very packed and long day... somewhere u can jus relax and chill and kinda like waste time lol...
but do take note that shop looks like they close for 2 hours lunch kinda thing... not in a rush to open the store... customer can come back if they wanna get something later...
went to some interesting places there.... going thru and seeing how life is like how it would be like there from the earlier part of their past (silk workers)... to how they live now.... and how they eat.... and also how they die.... and their memories remain.... (basically... walked thru the path that silk workers went many years ago... walk thru the streets that ppl still stay now... eat the manifi food of the lyonaise cusine.. yum... went to a hospital museum which is also still in use as a hospital now... and lastly a cemetrey...)
must say that i feel more of a complete trip that way isnt it...
and i say it again... a lovely lovely town... retirement choice for sure lol....
