i reached Charles de Gaulle Airport at 630am last saturday. the flight was long n tiring..there as this baby that cried every 2 hours, so it was a bit irritating. whenever i manage to fall asleep, i was woken up by the baby's cry. well...then i met up with my host sis-Axelle and we leave my luggage at her apartment n went to her university, she was working that day, so i had a walk around her uni. there are many shops along the streets there n most of them sell shoes. there are shoes everywhere! the streets there are just so different from malaysia. back in kl if u wan to do a good shopping, u'll head to the mall like Midvalley or 1U, but in Paris is different. you can get good stuff by just walking along this street.
after lunch with axelle, i met up with Quentin n Yi Lun at the Cathedrale of Notre Dame. that church is huge! HUGE!! the ceiling is so high up. it's just beautiful. no words can be used to described it. unfortunately, that day is was raining, n both of them dont want to line up outside to get to the tower.*wasted*
my 1st day was a long n tiring day. i didnt have any sleep for more than 30 hours, but after a good night sleep..i felt refreshed the next day n ready for more of Paris.
the next day, Axelle brought me to the Moulin Rouge, there is this street where Moulin Rouge was located...along that street, all the shops there are sex shops. axelle told me that some shops offer i think 4 or 5 euros for a lady to dance for i-cant-remember-how-long in front of u..those kinda thing... then we climbed many many stairs, then we reached the top of the hill (at Montmarte) and there is another church there called Sacré-coeur. it's another huge church, the church is facing towards an amazing view of Paris. other than that, there is this group of street singers, n there are really good. what made them even more special is that they manage to get the audience to come in front to sing with them. this is really sth that i never seen before and im amazed by that!
at night, Axelle brought me to see the lights of Paris. then i finally know, why Paris is called the City of Lights. the lights they have along their streets, are just spectacular. there is one street where they have sth that look very similar to chandeliers, white in colour..hanging in the air. then there are a few shopping malls; that had many small bulbs that are blinking all the way. the windows of the mall, had different type of Christmas decoration that are controlled by machine..so it had different music with different 'scene' on it. i always thought that christmas decorations in KL like in MV or 1U are beautiful..but here it's just spectacular. it's beyond what i would imagine.
the very next day, Axelle has class, so i went to the Museum of Louvre on my own. i was really excited to go there, this is because after watching the movie "The Da Vincci Code". seeing the Pyramid in the movie, made me really really excoted to see it! once i reached the Louvre, i went outside to see the Pyramid. it's beautiful. im not very good in words, so it's really hard for me to describe it. then i went back into the museum to start my "tour" the museum is huge..huge.. it took me 7 hours and im sure that there are definitely some place that i din manage to go. i lost my way several times inside there. i saw the Mona Lisa. but what irritates me is that they used another piece of class to cover the painting, so it's very difficult to get a good photo of it. even without flash. there r just sooo many ppl crowding that particular painting. in the museum..there are many sculpture there from many era, n i like the ones during the Renaissance era. another "thing" that amazed me is that i had the chance to see the Code of Hammurabi. i'd learnt it in form4 sejarah class. i'll be roud to tell my students that i saw the original code when i come back to teach them.hehee..it was really tiring, walking around the museum. TIRED~
