In fact, I had purposely chosen a hotel that was so near to Eiffel Tower, that was almost walking distance. But then I bought the Paris Visite Pass , which meant unlimited access in all metro, RER, who would wanna walk? Keke

Yeah lah, it was really from far!! I swear on the lives of all my teddy bears! Even though my English sucks, but I still know how to differentiate between far & near okay? =p The Tower is standing tall at 324m, so almost everywhere I went I can clearly see the Tower. Pretty amazed by how people century ago ( Tower was completed in 1889) built this gigantic structure....

Tower Lit up!

As it was summertime, I had to "brave" through the strong winds and waited on top of the Tower from almost 3 hours to capture both the daytime & the sunset sceneries. So if you are thinking of coming in summer too, perhaps it is not such a bright idea to come up before 7 plus. I think I went up around 6pm and the sun only set at 8 -9 pm. Hungry & cold!! It was such a sacrifice to capture the sunset.. Sobz. Fortunately we came down timely enuff to catch the lit up of the Tower which lasted for perhaps a few minutes? Not too sure whether it would be lit up in intervals or not, but glad that we manage to see that!

The Invalides

Saint Chapel

Notre Dame Cathedral

When I came to Notre Dame Cathedral, they were having a service so we sort of went in free ( Yeah!). Shant elaborate a lot since I'm not preaching Christianity here but I bought a cross here for my mum, not too sure whether it had been blessed mah... hmm

I amazed by how this picture turned out. This was actually a gigantic cross, so I had to lean backward to capture the whole thing. Somehow or rather, it turned out to be "glowing". Trust me, the place was not really brightly lit...

Opposite side of Notre Dame Cathedral

Arc of Triumph

This was standing at the end of Champs-Elysees, so quite prominent. I sort of "squeezed" some time out from my shopping to take a photo of it. Keke. =p Here, basically is the Orchard equivalent, where you can find the rich & the famous. Come here for big bargain for the big brand like LV ( a building of its own!), Gucci, Channel etc

The Louvre

Well, I came to the Louvre for free ( Yeah! Again!!). I got do homework before going for my trip okay? Some of the museums are free on the first sunday of every month, so for those that you are keen to go, try to schedule them all on a first sunday.

Anyway being a typical Singaporean, I went to queue up half an hour before the opening time. But to my "horrified" surprise, the kiasu spirit had spread to the other side of the world!! The queue was already very very long -_-" The whole place is like a maze, it's so damn HUGEEEEeee! I think you probably need at least 4 hours to cover everything. But again for those super artistic people like myself who strongly only my art pieces are worthwhile, perhaps 2 hours should be enuff.. Hahahha

Statue with * clear throat * distinctive feature ....ooOOo

Painting on the ceiling

Aphrodite, aka Venus De Milo

The Winged Victory of Samothrace

Mona Lisa

This was taken after I squeezed through crowds of giants. I'm small comparatively to my Asian peers, so Caucasians are considered giants to me. * Rolled eyes*

Anyway, kinda disappointed coz we were not allow to go near to the painting. In fact, it was already protected with a glass panel, yet there was still a barrier. I took this picture with my camera zoom feature, and so not very well taken. I dunno much about the famous painting, except that the painting was so alive that the lady appeared to be looking at you whichever angle you are. I wanted to do that, but there was simply too many people! Haiz, I guess I would never have the chance to try that le... >.< ~~

Statue in pain

Statue: My life is so miserable! My ass already kenak "poked", and then everyday there are stupid birds resting or shitting on my head!! Let me die!!

Mystery voice: But.. but.. you are not alive!
