Visited a cathedral on a hill behind our hotel
The city of Paris at a glance
After 5 months of separation, Mr Shameless Hailer Chong
is still as thick skinned as ever
Not only did he request to wear the fireman helmet and
take a picture with the fire squadron
he even wanted to join in their 'rescue mission'
Arc de Triomphe
Shameless act #2
All hail the all famous icon of Paris- Eiffel Tower
For lunch, we literally took 2 hrs hunting for KFC
as it was the 'safest'
Safest meaning it will never disappoint you
and definitely value for money
I can't believe we did crazy things like
1. Ask the beautiful French people 'Where is the nearest KFC'
2. Spent 2hrs walking and finally taking the metro to hunt for
KFC in France
Victory chant after the 2hrs of intensive hunting
But worth every single moment
Anyone needs a rat trap in the house?
Kiss kiss
In the afternoon, we headed to Louvre Museum,
where the Original Mona Lisa potrait was kept
I dare say that this Museum is the BIGGEST museum I have
ever visited in my life thus far
Entry to the museum was free of charge for the 26yrs<
The singaporeans went to 'Relac one corner' at the park nearby
to wait for 'The Deal'
The 'Venus De milo' should be familiar to you
Many replicas could be seen around the world,
even in games like Resident Evil!!!
Athena- Goddess of heroic endeavour (background)
Hailer Chong- King of heroic Shameless endeavour
Whats with the crowd!??!
I see Mona Lisa (The Real deal)
We left the museum at 2115hrs and walk passed a park
Father and Son in Paris
The sun was setting and there were 4 chairs by the fountain,
we decided to just sit down to appreciate the beautiful gift from
the creator
My Air-force 1 flying by the sun
Somehow, we saw MANY policeman, police cars and motorcycles.
Many roads have also been barricaded
And so I asked one of the policeman, 'What's happening?'
'Do you not know? President bush is in town'
I would love to have this car behind my garage someday
And maybe this 'Hybrid' car after the Camry
Ended the day with a nice little supper
'Cruzcoose' (Not sure if it's spelled this way)
Very fine grain wheat rice stuff
Look like Chicken Briyani frm Prata house
Day 02
man.. they look really drained
La Defense, the Central Business District of Paris
After staying in Europe for the past 5 months of so,
somehow, these architecture buildings kind of look the same to me
everywhere I go and I kind of feel a bit 'numb'
Shameless act #3
Headed to the 'Longchamp' boutique to get a handbag for Mum
I found the model she wanted, but sadly, it wasn't 'Made in France'
as how she would like it to be
Here is hard evidence that I have tried!At 2230hrs, we headed to Eiffel tower once again to see
the tower blink blink* in the dark
Beautiful ain't it?A glance from the bottom of the Eiffel tower
Night view of Paris on level 2 of the Eiffel tower
Before heading back to the hotel, we walked past
'Moulin Rouge'
My geographical imagination of Paris
- Very Clean
- Super Romantic!
- People dress up really well
- Arrogant and rude locals (as heard from others)
What it really was to me (subjective)
- The subway stinks of Ammonia (Urine lah!)
- Eiffel tower is Beautiful, but romantic?!... (Not so much leh!)
- Its the same kind of dressing as everywhere else
- Polite and helpful locals
So things and experiences could very much be different yah!
Experience it first hand and try it for yourself ;)
It's until you try that you know something is Good
In the same way, try my Boss. He's good too :P
The next stop would be Zurich + Luzern + Mt. Pilatus (Switzerland)
