Posh and Proud

This is how I would describe Paris and its Parisians.

I didn't have a good impression of the French and visiting Paris hasn't left me a better impression. One of my friends was agreeing with me,"Paris will be beautiful if only the French weren't there..."

Eiffel tower was one of the best things Paris is magnificient for. We visited at night, shivery at the top of the tower, it can be quite an experience!! I wasn't interested in its history, I didn't think Paris was romantic, I didn't think the French were nice. That somehow sums it all. France again for me??? I'll think twice.

It was a little like London. But museums in London are mostly free, british are friendlier (at least they speak English, the French just pretend not to understand), they sell baguettes everywhere instead of fish and chips. Many parts of Paris are actually too touristic, too many fancy restaurants and cafes, too many blacks residing, uneconomical transport system that still uses paper tickets... They still have some nice shops and classy clothes, I just didn't get around to do any shopping this time!

We paid Musée du Louvre a visit, it was like British Museum, so it wasn't fascinating! The pyramids (La pyramide) were more interesting, and make great pictures :) Biggest museum in the world?! Oh well, a tour on the exterior will do I reckon unless of course you are there for Mona Lisa portrait (which I'm not). But I wanted to visit a decent museum at least.

One thing I do really like is PAUL Pâtisserie. I can't seem to get enough of their melting chocolate cake -- bottom of page. That probably is the only thing I miss about Paris! He he he...
