Paris Syndrome ???
"For us, Paris is a dream city. All the French are beautiful and elegant ... And then, when they arrive, the Japanese find the French character is the complete opposite of their own." Around a dozen Japanese tourists a year need psychological treatment after visiting Paris as the reality of unfriendly locals and scruffy streets clashes with their expectations, a newspaper reported on Sunday.
- From Newspaper
All places in where the human being occupy could be same except for Serengeti for wildlife. The only differentiation is whether this dog is being held on a chain or not.

Broken itinerary
(Call taxi fare : 15 Euro) + (shuttle bus fare : 13 euro x 3 = 39 euro) = 54 euro
That's all? Not at all.
Over weight charge for baggage = about 25 Euro x 2 = 50 Euro.
My wife said to me at check-in counter, "Is this real low price air ticket????" In any crisis situation I can not give up this air ticket because i paid tremendous extra charge to change flight schedule already except for above cost. I could not tell this to her. T.T;; By the way, finally we took boading tickets and only need to wait for flight in small barn gate of Beauvais airport. About 2 hour later, our colleagues(passengers for same flight)pass the gate and then arrived at baggage claim belt..... T.T;; with just simple and kind notice announcement "Airport Strike was happened in italy in this morning, so all flights for ROME were cancelled."
".........."
I don't have any idea. My wife didn't blame me anymore because also she was busy to find out any exit to escape here......
Then,
My hotel reservations?
My rent a car reservation?
My joyfull itinerary in italy?
After return back to paris again, what we have to do?????

review about low-price airline
As I know there are 2 airlines aviation from Paris to Rome. they are RyanAir and Ezjet. the differentitations between two are airport location and departing time from paris. Ezjet use Olry airport of Paris that could be taken just half hour from southern part of Paris. However, the flight time is about 8:30 AM. However, RyanAir use Beauvais airport that is far about 50 miles from Paris and takes 1 hr 30 min by shuttle bus. In addition to this, the location of terminal for this shuttle bus is not light thing to us.
Departure from terminal 6:30 AM
Arriving at Beauvias aiport 7:45 AM
Departing Flight for Rome Ciampino airport 9:30 AM
Fare : 13 Euro (Same fare for kids T.T;;)
