paris

it was 30 degrees in paris that day. Freaking hot and i got sunburnt on both my shoulders.


When we talk paris, it will always be the eiffel tower.... Any ideas what does these yellow stars represent???

the ticketing queue to get to the top... Long queue but moving very fast, not so bad



Check out the queue while climbing the stairs


This is only the first storey of the eiffel tower, and I'm already half dead. U need to climb (i think 698 steps) to the 2nd storey to take a elevator to the top. Seriously, I won't go up the eiffel tower again. Once is enough.

Our saviour - the elevator. I was doing the superman pose with my right arm stretched up. And GW said i looked more like air pork instead. TMD.

I thought this is kinda cool


This is an expensive restaurant, and normally big shots celebrities will dine there (overheard michael jackson is one of them). The windows are bullet proof.





Arc of Triomphe Etoile, known as the crazy roundabout. Our tour manager said accident rate is 1 every 30 minutes


Sainte Chapelle, near to Notre Dame



Yeah, we went to check out Notre Dame...


A headless guy at the entrance
Inside Notre Dame, there is a service going on






love the stained glass

It was the le tour de france on that day. SO SUAY! The street is packed with people, people and more people. And road blocks here and there, which makes it difficult to walk to the places we want to visit.



People waiting for the bikers





The Lourve!!! It's made up of 666 pieces of glasses


The place when the king and queen lives back in Louie the 13th or 14th era... can't really remember. The peasants came to protest, and the king & queen fled away without informing anyone. And thousands of loyal Swiss army were killed while trying to protect the king & queen who were not inside. Sad.


The 4 horses from Venice
Gypsy selling souvenirs, u can bargain anything to half of its quoted price.


Souvenir stores by the streets. But is cheaper to buy from gypsies.






Very big (3 storeys) Louis Vuitton outlet! GW bought me a clutch, my first LV in my whole life!






So hot and still wear until like that.



Saw this when making our way to Moulin Rouge... Beautiful


Very ugly hairstyle


The ah ma who fed the pigeons



Moulin Rouge! There is a roundabout where wind blows upwards from the ground, and you see girls holding down their skirts. Cool!
