weekend in Paris



There's this book written by a Sophie something English woman titled "Weekend In Paris". The excitement of partying on a boat, meeting a guy and so on just seems rather possible and far fetch at the same time. Somehow, I did wonder if my first weekend would be like that, but then again, reality bites. boo

But, that aside, I did spend a rather nice weekend. Sightseeing included Le Jardin de Tuileries (Garden of Tuileries), le tour Eiffel, Arc de Triompe and Champs-Elysees. Well, they were all on the same 5km long street! It starts from the Lourve, but that's for today, one whole glorious day in the Lourve. Yippie!

Went to the movies too. Man, so much cheaper than Japan, but can't beat home though. Well, can't complain too much either, although I do wish that they would stop the free-seating nonsense.

Did I ever mention that french food is fabolous but they serve in too large a portion? I know it should be "do as the Romans do", but heck, I just can't stomach that much of good food!! "Lucky" Julien ends up eating for me, guess the way through a guy's heart is his stomach?! *lool Lucky me...!

Oh well oh well, time to get moving on. Will never get to the Lourve if I seat here writing all day, now would I? :p

oh yeah!



did i mention that i went to Geneva as well? oh, it was so sudden. We were on our way to Annecy, and the highway takes us past Geneva, and Julien's dad just went: "oh, why not go to Geneva as well?" and voila... i was there for probably like 30mins.... just to take the picture of the symbol of Geneva, the "jar d'or".... madness!!

still ALIVEEEEEEEE


Yo people! By now I think some of you would have
1.recieved my long email
2.slaved through my long email
2.thrashed my long email

well, either way, i won't get mad, so no worries =) i just hate you from a distance, it's ALL good folks!

YEs, Europe is fabulous, France is great, Italy was even better. And no, no one is supposed to repeat what I just said.

Can't believe that it's already my 4th week here. Time flies so fast that I don't want it to fly more!!! urgh...! Miss you all loads, wish all of us were here together instead of just me you know. Screw the language, we'll be fine regardless.

ANyway, it's my last week in Lyon, will be heading off to Paris on Friday. More visiting around... =) can't wait...

Until then, I'll leave you guys with some photos... or it just one?!
