Remember when you were a little kid using snow globes? And, when you shook the globe it seemed so majestic and the place inside always looked so perfect?
Well, in a nutshell that is Monte Carlo. Subtract the liquid substance and the snow, but add beautiful people and a hefty price tag — and there you have it. A utopia for luxury-seekers.
From talking to many people who have visited Monte Carlo, you will either love it or hate it and there is no in between. This place cannot be taken lightly, is not for the feint hearted, and unfortunately (… or fortunately …) only appeals to a very small audience of ‘adventurers‘ so to speak.
Well, I have been lucky enough to have been raised under two amazing parents, and, believe it or not, they had actually taken both my brother and I to Monte Carlo before! Having been to Monte Carlo already, I was well accustomed to the excessive price tags and shiny cars — but, it was something I have been looking forward to return to after reaching ‘adulthood’, even though I truly just think that I am a big kid.
The city was as glistening, shiny, and tempting as ever; from the halls of the Royal Casino to the dining rooms of some of the world’s best restaurants, Monte Carlo does not leave much to desire. In fact, it would be in most peoples’ best interest if it did.
