Paris Day 3 - Louvre!!

the famous spiral staircase



from inside looking out the pyramid



whee!! finally in! there were tons of people though we (tried to) get there early. haha



the start of MANY whacky imitation poses to come. look out for them and have a good laugh =D but do enjoy the artifacts too! 'cos actually they are really interesting, with geek figures, roman statues, egyptian tombs, mythical creatures and many more! we stayed the whole day and didn't managed to cover the entire area, though we cleared about 5/6 of it =(



see what i mean about pretty architecture? =D



HAHA



welcome to the land of egypt!



makeshift moat



we like the interior =)



this is some silly thing that we found out in louvre. they have those kind of manholes-lookalike air vents, and the aircon comes out from below! thus i've become the guinea pig to test out the amount of force of the air. it was quite strong, surprisingly! haha



i find this drawing very calming yet there's a tinge of extreme sadness. in memory of a female, i suppose?



what are they all looking at??



hmm looks familiar



its mona lisa!!!



in full glory



can't seem to take a closeup and sharp shot with the gazillion glasses that surrounds the painting.



so we are contented with just taking a closeup of ourselves with it. haha! the amount of people around it is scary man.



:)



moving on to this horoscopes room haha! there are horoscopes painted on the ceilings if you peer closely (i did!). and it seems like no one else noticed too. ha! sharp eyes =D



my gemini :)



my cancer too :)



and this is for my virgo friends!!



roar!



ngawww



okay we were quite bored



imagine laying in layers and layers of them.


more to come soon! i'm not even 1/3 there yet. haha!

Paris day 2

Sorry people, for the prolonged updates! hope you all are still visiting this site - a bit unlikely huh. haha

Paris Day 2!



notre dame! amazing =)






interior



thank you for keeping all of us safe during the trip. amen :)



wide, wide space



makeshift classroom haha!



courtyard!



dear yvonne who is so scared of sunlight but too 'pai seh' to take out her brolly, thus she resorted to being a red cape girl. haha



nice ceilings. if only my room is like that haha!



stained glass windows. awesome sight






supreme court of paris!



moulin rogue in daylight - doesn't look very appealing huh?


since we had some time before looking at how moulin rogue looks like in the night, we decided to explore the red light district area and stumbled upon a sex museum! paid about S$10 to go in (student's price - can you believe they have that? lol) and spend about 3 hours exploring the 8 storeys of R-rated stuff! very eye-opening, i would say. it's surprisingly not tacky or sleazy though, with brightly-lit rooms and nice carpeted walkways etc. all their displays are well labeled and kept in neat glass cabinets. being the 'deprived' singaporean we are, we can't help but take lots of photos while trying to decipher some stuff haha! it's really hilarious man. can't post much photos up here, but feel free to contact me if you wanna have a look haha it's really interesting to look at different cultures and their sexual artifacts they have. kind of like a cheeky history lesson. hahaha!



love seat :) right in front of a TV which is showing 1960s porn btw, in black-and-white lol!



look closely if you would like. haha



moulin rogue at night!! =) with hundreds of people queuing outside. didn't catch the show though, it's wayyy too expensive for these three budget-travellers-cum-students. haha


went to have ice cream on day 2's afternoon


little alleys of paris - i could walk the whole day and not feel tired :)



lengendary ice cream - as told from my neutral and trusty guide book



sounds very italian



wide selection



i like the feel of the shop



rose-like ice cream :) gosh i'm yearning for it now. =( it was so rich and creamy and so seventh-heaven



relaxing beside the seine river =)



Retro Metro! :D
