Paris - Je t'aime tous me coeur!

This has been one of the best trips we've made!
Paris has so much more than what everyone gives credit for ...
The culture, the people, the history...
Absolutely adored the Eiffel Tower (surprisingly since it's just a monument)
just the look of this world-renowned structure just makes you wow
we went all the top to the top at night, was soo romantic and amazing
me and Alberto had the greatest time laughing over beer..;)
Musee du Lourve was amazing too, althou it resembled the British Museum alot
but the architecture and layout of it all was very interesting
And! we visited the St Sulpice Eglise!! Da Vinci code readers would know about it
that's where the Church had thot the keystone was hidden, underneath the rose carving
*damn, i couldnt find no rose carving*
But my favourite was definitely the Basillica du Sacred Coeur..(Cathedral of Sacred heart)
it brought out a certain part of me that has been missin since a long time..
somehow I cant describe it with words..
Climbing that 273 steps to the top of the hill, we saw a beauutiful view of the city in daylight
and that took my breathe away
Having been to different cities, seen different skyline,
they may look the same, yellow lights dotting the streets, bridges across long rivers..
But all of them differ, in all sorts of details.. i like Paris nightview the most of all..

Alberto makes the best travel partner
he's my soulmate who can finish my sentences for me,
who knows exactly what i like, and who seems to have the same mental images as me!
we just had so much fun on this trip
i can't wait for the next one already!

Oh, and I came up with a list of European cities I like most
1. Rome!! wooo wayyy too much historical stuff to see! Vatican, Colosseum, Foro Romano ruins
2. Paris - ah it's made its way up to the top already
3. Granada - alberto's home ;)
4. Toledo - this tiny city in the middle of Spain, with cool ancient stories behind it
5. Amsterdam! ahh i love the hippy atmosphere there
6. Ibiza..yoohoo if not for the abundant annoying brits on this piece of beautiful espanol land..
......

I would love to write more details on my trip to Paris..too lazy
all the memories just lie in my heart

yay! so happy Yanbing and Eugene bought airtix to come visit me!!!!!
yabadehhbaaadoooooooooooooooo
we'r gonna have a helluva fun - mushroom, alcohol..

YAYHOO! First day, right aft our 3 hrs train ride, we dashed off to the MUSEE DU LOURVE~!. We were eager to check out this world-renowned museum, and witness Mona Lisa painting, and the setting of Da Vinci Code!! 

me and Alberto, happy after visiting the Museum!! chillin outside the entrance of Musee du Louvre. the main entrance was right beneath the main glass pyramid in the middle. 

Elegant painting on the ceiling of the Museum 

me at the bottom of the glass pyramid in the Lourve - the modern interior caught me by surprise! 

AHHH! Eyes wide in shock - our silly lil lunch cost us 36 euros?!!! we thot the sandwich cost alrite (5euros), but didn't expect the coke to cost 6.50euros, plus water for a crazy price of 4euros!! we told ourselves we were NOT gonna visit another restaurant in Paris!! 

The Musee d'Orsay..one of the popular museums in Paris as well, but we didn't go in, longgg line man 

A view of the Notre Dame Cathedral across the Seine River..lotsa souvenir stalls line the river, with painters making beautiful pictures of the cathedral 

THE NOTRE DAME (our lady) Cathedral!! sooo grand and gorgeous, simply love how historical buildings are designed in Europe..ooooohhhh 

in the Grand hall of Notre Dame Cathedral...high ceilings, historical carvings, lotsa stories behind these walls..i wish i could know more abt biblical stories 

Chocolate crepe!! we had it near our hotel..yay!  

Alberto's goofy face infronta his favourite modern le Pavier - at La Defence. interesting architecture in the commercial area 

The commercial area of Paris - La Defence.. pretty cool buildings, all offices and high rise bldings 

The Arc de Trioumph - at the end of Les Champs Elysees -gorgeous 

First night - EIFFEL TOWER!!! One of the most beautiful ornaments in the world!!! it glows in its romantic orange light, standing in the heart of the city.. 

the view of the Palais du Challiot from the top of the Eiffel Tower! ahhhhh nice.. 

One of the beautiful picture of the Nightview of the skyline in Paris.. 

me with the backdrop of Paris nightview behind me...wooo fantastic feeling  

On the 2nd level of the tower, it shows how far Singapore is from Paris, in that direction..look how far it is!!  

me and Alberto at the highest level of the Eiffel, almost similar to the Empire state building in NewYork..but Paris seems to have a more beautiful night view.. 

me and Alberto enjoying beer at the 2nd level of the Eiffel Tower - superb view, and nice atmosphere. soo romantic ;) 

Eiffel tower glowing in the night 

First night supper - Alberto and his champiniones et fromage crepe(mushroom cheese crepe)! *im in touch with my french now lol*  

Friday Breakfast in a Patisserie - yummy hot croissant, chocolat pastry...cheap and good..look at my fat face 

Saturday Morning - climbed up to the Basilica du Sacred Coeur (basilica of the sacred heart) -unique cathedral with sprawling high ceilings, that made me feel rarely this in touch with spiritual wellbeing. Love this place. 

Superb view of the city ahead of the Basilica..
