Has anyone been to Paris before? Heard few robbery cases from friends n all. Is the safety there that bad?

I never been there but a friend of mine did. Well he is a victim of pickpockets.

Paris got to be careful; been lucky so far but we were always cautious of our surroundings. It's not VERY unsafe, but i would put it very close to Guangzhou in terms of petty crimes. Witnessed people stealing things from a grocery store first-hand and they even look you in the eyes daring you to tell the cops.

when would be the best time for travel backpack to europe?
anyone has experience on backpack to europe?
how much is the estimate expenses?

Planning to backpack to Europe next year end. Cover London, Paris, Scotland, Netherlands, Italy, Denmark and if can add 2 more conturies. Total travel 3 weeks.

went to paris in august and nothing happens ....
just be aware of your surrounding and try not to look like a tourist

Have you calculated the expenses? Aprox?

Flight+Accommodation+Food around 10-12k. Planning backpacking and do night travel

I am going on a hitchhiking trip from Malaysia (Penang) > Thailand > crossing Laos @ChiangKhong > HuayXai > Mengla China > all the way up to Mongolia then hopefully if i can get Tibet permit from Tibet to Nepal then to Agra flying back from Agra Intl Airport

1 month trip

Let me know if anyone would like to join should be ultra cheap coz hitchhiking n couchsurfing (meaning not paying for transport n accommodation)

I might be travelling alone on Annapurna Circuit *ONE OF THE BEST TRAIL IN THE WORLD* (probably meeting travelmate on the way up) Rates for around RM50 for food and lodging per day exclu equipment (which i have) and excl permits around RM150 for 2 permits.

Anybody here interested to go for 2 weeks Spanish language course in Malaga, Spain?

My plan is to fly from KUL to Amsterdam on 16 Nov 2013, then from there to Malaga. The course is on 18-30 Nov. After that I plan to go to Barcelona or Mardrid, spend a day or 2 there & back to Amsterdam for another 2 days before flying back to KUL.

Let me know if anyone interested. I'm a female, so a female companion is preferred.
