Paris Day 6

So at last, it's time for us to make a trip to downtown Paris after 2 days of being in the suburban area. It is a nice change.

So here, Julein brought us out for the entire day! We went to the Arche de Triumph. Self explainable. Erected after WW1 to commemorate the soldiers lost.

After that, we headed down the one of the major avenues, Champs Elysees. Posh shops, car show rooms, the mothership, flagship store of Louis Vuitton.

Along the avenue, there are cafes, chairs, table and customers face the road. Hmmm..

Nick trying to look all Paris-ee..

And then we settled down for some Italian Pasta. Served in a huge bowl with huge spoon and thong! We managed to finish everything easily. Very yummy!

We headed to the Pompidou Museum after lunch. One of the very unique buildings ever built. It stands out from the rest of the buildings surrounding it.

Contains contemporary art!

Mike walking through the escalator tube of the museum.. It overlooks the city.

And after an entre day of walking, we had to take a rest... We settled down on a patch of grass just outside one of the many churches. I think it's called something-Nemo-something.

Anyways, the being so nice, it's normal for ppl to just sit around and just stare at blank space. Something that we cant do in Sg. We'll just be fed by mosquitoes, sweat like a pig or just start getting bored.

They have lots to do while sitting on grass! Watch ppl on weird bikes cycle by, dogs play with their friends, ppl skate boarding.

And i guess we saved the best fot the last? We went to the Effiel Tower! (Tour Effiel) It's a magnifiecent sight.. it's very nice. I thought it was grey-ish black or something. But it turned out to be a light cream copper colour.

anyways. It's a very tall super structure.

This is one of the 4 'legs' of the tower. At every leg, it's either a restaurant(150sgd a dish) or a ticketing vendor. On the left is a small shop that sells merchandise. So, just imagine the size of the tower.

At 9pm sharp or at every hour, it's starts to sparkle. Ding ding ding!!
