friday:took the metro in paris for the first time. explored galaries lafayette and printemp, met mum there for lunch after her mtg. while she left for another mtg i found my way to rue de rivoli. met them for the river cruise dinner. nice ambience, imagine us scooting up to the viewing level above in btw courses to take pics with the eiffel notre dame etc... and u sure bet only the singaporeans were that kaisu to run up and down.no time to go up eiffel cos dinner ended at 11!
saturday: end of study trip for the ppl. so some of the gals followed me and my mum ard to shop. they asked me to be their guide.. hur..wat the peh.. went back to champs elysee, rue de passy and galaries lafayette which closed at 8 pm!!! ARGH~~ and they close on SUNDAYS CAN..imagine takashimaya being closed for ONE DAY A WEEK.. it's the mall in paris and can afford to close..actaully most of the shops were closed on sundays except touristy places. had one of the best french onion soup ever and i firmly declined the escagots and foie gras.. yucks..
sunday: champs elysee..shops closed.. so went to lourve musuem. on the way to the metro.. walked to point neuf and accidentally chanced upon the latin quarters (i think). kinda hippy place.. then rushed down to eiffel b4 it turned dark..happy. satisfied.. thank goodness we ran (someother ppl were running too and it was so windy!) cos within 10 mins or so it turned dark. backto hotel to pack!!
monday: abt to check out at the reception when we met mr H who also extended and just rented at audi tt for 800 sing a day!! omgosh..i could have driven it around and really not come back to singapore ( accident la..hur) darn no time to cos cab was here to take us to airport.. tmd..my hotel's back lane had some ah black community..quite scary actually to be so close to their homeground. oh but this hotel's location quite gd that's why we didn't move. quai de la gare train station just across the street. their metro system similar to singapore just more extensive.. and the trains that go out of paris centre are double storeys! and last thing.. their trains' door not auto lo.. gotta open yrself.. a st bernard dog came in which got my mum excited.. hah.. and musicians come on board to play to get $$. cool rite? free music.. no need ipod..hah
realised it aint so point form after all..
random...
-alot of ppl smoke thr man.. i can hardly breathe!!
-i was in galaries when this china man in a suit asked me if i was from china and whether i understood chinese. argh.. he wanted me to translate sth to the salegal. after which he said my chinese v good.. ... ... ...wahahah
-OMG.. HOW CAN I NOT SAY THIS...girls n guys share same toilet in some of the department store toilets can... SO SO SO DAMN AWKWARD TO SEE GUYS IN THE TOILET!!!!!!!! oh ya zara's changing room also can..but not so bad comapred to toilets!!
-sth lame.. while waiting to be ushered into the cruise and deciding on our orders.. some one in the group misheard foie gras for viagra... then he said out loud.. "hmm.. it viagra's entree i wonder wat's the main course" ... ... ...
-btw quite amazed i survived below 10 deg temps with onli my "killed-a-polar-bear" jacket, 2 cardis n 1 jeans (didn't even manage to wear shorts i brought) for like 6 days till i got my trench and scarfs..so unprepared, but always STRONG!!muahaha
-ph ya..how can i not rave abt paris's architecture etc..nicer than frankfurt..sounds cliche but it's really THE place to propose to anyone. comfirm chop guarantee say yes one..hahah..jk..or at least take wedding pics? ok if not i wld love to go backpack thr again.. :]
