Honeymoon Escapade: PARIS




Ahh Paris...after 2hours of Eurostar ride, we reached the City of Lights.Now in a city of foreign language & knowin that we might get ignored for not speakin french, i equipped myself with a French phrase book which i bought last minute at the Changi Airport. It saved us when it comes to askin direction & learnin food ingredients. So we noe our poulet & hache viande & thon & jambon very well now.

Spent our 2 nites in a charming lil hotel in Republique...time seems to past so fast, needless to say cos it's autumn, day turns dark by 6pm. Paris is like an infatuation that I haven't yet got to know enuff, it was charming with the lovely ponts(bridges) & the lil details on the old buildings but the accordion tunes exist only in my head when the reality is that every nite the city hear the wails of the police siren..aloud & alot! perhaps because it was the World Cup qualifying season and the Irish supporters were bein rowdy & the Algerian supporters were celebratin too much. Football seems to take centre stage of tis part of our honeymoon, while we witnessed the passion of fans of these two countries...aside from that, Iyuan cannot understand what is so nice about Paris! Half the time, we were lookin for cafes which served fresh croissant(which we can't find) & another half of the time we were tryin to navigate our way around with the lack of street names & signs! So frustrating!
We spent so lil time sokain up the sceneries, only managing to go up the Eiffel, got a tad near the Arc du Triomphe & spent the 2nd day at Disneylandland and lookin for good bargains at La Vallee Village, the charm didn't grow on us. Pehaps cos we didn't getta visit Montmartre, which i think is where the charming lil corners & shops will be! Oh well...

La vie en rose, Paris...

  32. Hehehe. The thing about Paris is that you will only love it after your first visit. OR u hate it coz u had issues with Parisians. You will also realised how big it is and it will take years to know Paris. LOL. I hate it the first time i was tehre , after having such a wonderful time in Spain. Now i dream of it once in a while of wanting to go to places i missed or didnt spent enough time there. Croissants everywhere dahhh.. just go to any cafe for bfast... and that crazy baguette that one can spot under everyone armpits.. heheheh..

    OOOHhh yes.. you got the real macarons man.... that one is priceless.. I didnt even think of them when i was there. i was more nuts looking for creme brulee and my pan au chocolate....or the herbed roma and mozarella baguette...*slurp slurp*

    ReplyDelete
