-switz:checked out and managed to walk down one street only with the secretary. the wind is killing me~waited for the rest to finish up their mtg and head over to the shops to get chocs. everyone just chiong-ed for it.. only had 30 mins to shop. after which we left for our long road trip to paris.

-the bus driver has lotsa regulations set by the company i think..or german law.. eg: every 3 hrs have to break 30mins. after whole day of driving have to rest for 11 hrs..can't start at 830 if not can't meet the 11 hrs.. they have some chip on them so if they break the law will be fined 300 euros. and he's very nice he tried his best many times to meet our demands which mean pushing his boundaries. he doesn't speed too..cruises at 70 or 80km? very good driver.. msian bus drivers shd adopt this system.

-checked in to paris hotel at 1130 pm. everyone's tired. the hotel is erm.. cosy and classique or antique shall i say? horrendous actually.. so small and old for it's price.. but this is paris i guess..nothing's cheap.. and think we're extending 2 days here since the metro is just across the street :)

-woke up bright and early and everyone's excited to head over to champ elysees LV outlet. largest i tink.. the guys really surprise me..they said they dun have anything to buy..but in the end end up buying bags for their wives.. so sweet right. the jet li lookalike was clueless wat to get so bought TWO HANGBAGS for his wife.. omgosh..can i just be his maria or sth? maybe i get a purse?? sigh~ i need to find someone like jet li lookalike~ the others had shopping lists to buy for frens. i didn't get the neverfull cos the damier was only avail in japan.. no wonder i've not heard of damier nvfull too.. got 3 wallets. 1 for my friend and both for me cos i can't decide.. now i can't decide which to use..hur.. and btw not enough time can! only had 30 mins in lv cos they had to rush off to another mtg.. gosh! traffic is horrendous..their lanes don't have demarcations.. and they have lotsa of circles so imagine how they do it.. oh ya their parallel parking must be damn zhai.. they dun pull hand brake so that another car can squeeze in and nudge the car in front or behind to move a lil..hah..hardly see any SUVs etc.. all small cars..

-headed over for lunch at the mtg place..nice food! (upload when i get the pics from jet li)

-decided to head to avenue montaigne and back to champ elysee for more shopping with one of the gals. we walked instead of figuring out the metro. got lost and ended up near eiffel.. and by the time we reached elysee only went to 3 shops i tink and had to go back meet them. i desperately need a coat to go up eiffel ltr tonight. decided to get the cream trench i saw from germany's zara but they had no stock here. hai.. so got a temporary pullover first.i saw DISNEY SHOP!! can't wait to go get my marie!!!

-took cab back to the office and left for another IT company then headed to a sumptious dinner!

traffic was terrible, dinner started at 9 and by the time it was over.. the smu adjunct said " ai kun liao". zzzzzzzz
