SMTOWN LIVE in PARIS '11
First of all, I am so happy for having had the chance to see perfection in real life. I never thought I would get the chance to write a fanaccount. I went to the second day of the concert, the 11th of June 2011.
We arrived to Paris the night before the concert, or actually the night of the first day of the concert. We means my parents, my younger brother, my best friend and I. It took about 5 hours from Amsterdam to Paris in our car, it may seem long but I have been through worse. We were staying at a hotel that was very close to the Zenith, 10 minutes walking I think. So as we approached the hotel around 11PM I looked out the window and saw a group of girls walking with SMTOWN shirts and bags. That was the moment I finally realized there were only a few hours left. As we got into the hotel more groups of people arrived at the hotel with their shirts and bags, also with their fans of their biases of course. Some also wearing special shirts, I saw s♥nes with shirts from Soshified and Cassiopeia with shirts that said "AKTF". I was home.
As soon as I entered my hotel room that I'd be sharing we started screaming, and jumping. I was so excited and nervous and it felt like my heart was going to explode. I think I even teared up when I saw photo's on the official facebook that night. I had trouble falling asleep with my heart pounding like crazy. The next day wasn't just the day of the concert but I would also meet my soul-twin. :3 I only met her on twitter, but I'd have never thought that I would finally meet her. I finally fell asleep because I was tired, it was a long day.
Well the day after, the D-Day, I got more nervous. I think I won't even be that nervous like that for my own wedding later. Dum dum dum. I got ready to leave with my family, I had to go to the Eiffel Tower where I was going to meet Manon. It really was an amazing experience, and I actually recognized her! I also met her best friend while she met mine. We walked around the Eiffel Tower as she told me how the first night of the concert was - where she had gone. I love how we talked a lot immediately despite the language barrier. We bought couple friendship bracelets, it has little pendants in the shape of the Eiffel Tower, l'Arc de Triomphe and more cute things. It is silver, except for the ribbon which was pink. Light pink, like the color of SMTOWN. :3
When we headed back to the hotel (after going to a k-pop shop in Chinatown to buy lightsticks) there were only two hours left for the concert. I changed into a comfortable/cute outfit which would become holy after, and had "dinner" aka junk food. When we headed to the Zenith it was an hour later already. We were in front of the Zenith at 6PM, I think. I would meet
jellyjaemin aka my seoulmate there.
Oh and my younger brother had a ticket too, I forgot to mention. He's a fellow s♥ne and eleven years old, isn't he adorable? ; o ; he also bought a "I ♥ SNSD" shirt, it's so cute. We stood in front of the booth to buy our own SMTOWN shirts and bags, and I tried to resist to buy a fan.. but I couldn't. I bought a Luna fan 8D You'd think I'd buy a Changmin fan, or Donghae, or Eunhyuk. But I didn't want those. Even if Changmin weren't sold out I wouldn't have bought him anyway. Yunho and Taemin were sold out too, the most popular members in Europe are pretty obvious now. ; w; Anyway, I'd have died without Luna, it was so effing hot inside, a fan was highly needed.
Well, after we bought our stuff we were allowed to go inside, it was pretty full already. We had CAT tickets, but we were pretty lucky. Our seats were in the B-section which was exactly in the middle, and the fourth row from the front, so it was pretty close too! We had a great view. n__n When we were at our seats we walked around, trying to find some friends, luckily we found some. I'm talking about real luck when searching in a crowd that huge.
Then, finally, everyone seated and ready, the concert started and the crowd exploded. There was a really cute intro video and everyone went "awwwh" and when all the lights turned off the screams got louder. The first one to perform was f(x) with 라차타 (LA chA TA). I waved my Luna fan in the air, it was such a sensation to see them. All of the girls were gorgeous. ♥ Especially Krystal, she looked really fierce. Amber too. And Sulli was adorable. Vic was fabulous too~ Luna was perfect of course.

I think that was about it. Pretty Much. Kick me if I forgot something. There were also a few special performances of course. Kyuhyun and Seohyun did a duet "Way Back Into Love" they were so cute yet kinda awkward. The only thing I learned from it is that I will never ship SeoKyu, lol.
Then there was this new song, a rap probably made written by themselves. It was performed by Eunhyuk, Shindong, Key and Minho. It was really funny and cute :3 and those were hot rappers. 8D But the most important thing, they came from behind the public and then ran throught it. I could see on the screen how they high-fived everyone and how many people touched them ;A; It was amazing.
Then at the end everyone came out, and they sang SORRY, SORRY. I guess they thought it was the most popular. It was cute! there was so much stuff happening on stage, I didn't know where to look ;___; Kyuhyun was playing with a camera, filming his members. I saw Heechul whispering Yoona's ear and he hugged Taemin ;A;
And everyone looked amazing, they looked even more perfect in real life. Hyoyeon was exceptionally gorgeous. Yesung was pure sexiness, he looked really fierce. And.. Sungmin! Sungmin was so cute and adorable, omg he was beautiful. Yunho was so cute when he smiled at his introduction, I love his smile sfm ♥ oh and HoMin were like "Bonzour~" ;~~~; oh memories~ Yoona is really gorgeous too. Siwon's abs looked delicious, cough. And, well, what can I say about Changmin. He is perfect. I think I screamed my lungs out.
My throat hurt bad the next days, LOL, I could barely speak. But it was all worth it. SMTOWN was perfect.
