We got off the plane at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris sometime in the morning. I didn’t really get any rest on the flight because there were these two extremely noisy children sitting right in front of me. The food was pretty good though; I thought it was much better than the Air Canada food I’ve tasted. When were lining up for customs at the airport, we heard a “security announcement” regarding a grey suitcase that had been left unattended in some area of the terminal. When we were waiting for our baggage claim, we saw that there were a large number of customs personnel and even a few soldiers in camouflage with rifles standing around. Travellers were cleared out of the area and kept gathered at a safe distance. We only had to wait a very short time before they gave the all clear and we could proceed into the terminal. I caught a glimpse of the questionable suitcase, or what was left of it, as officials were piling pieces of it into a large plastic bag. I guess they cut it up to see what was inside.

How are the immigration officers in France? Better than Toronto but worse than Hong Kong?
They are average, I guess. Expressionless but polite and didn't give us any trouble. I think my passport confused him though, because I had a lot of Chinese visas and the people who do the visas are strange and just stick them on random pages not in order.
