France...
PARIS
Here we are at the most romantic city. Paris is a big city, and it should be as it is the capital of France. Plus there are quite a lot of tourist attractions in Paris. Some more popular, some are just national monuments and churches that may be found in other parts of Europe. So our first destination is the Louvre Museum! Hee.. that goes without saying!
Outside Louvre Museum. Weather was not fantastic that day so photos didn't turn out to be as nice too. Still, the most important thing is the stay inside the museum. There are just too many too many art works in the Museum and I didn't even have sufficient energy to finish viewing all of them. Walking around Louvre itself is a tedious task (it is so huge!!), let alone viewing and appreciating all the art works. And as expected, only the gallary with our dear Mona Lisa is packed with people. I guess the most important piece of work there is Mona Lisa and most people went into the museum for the sake of her. There are in fact alot more pieces that should be appreciated even more, but well I can't blame them because marketing and publicity has taken effect on them.
The "Inverted" Triangle inside the Museum.
The night view of Louvre Museum.
For the sake of this night view, we waited till 11pm outside the Museum! We were there at about 7pm (after dinner) but the sun set so late that the lights were turned on only at 10.30pm. A long long long wait, but a fruitful one!
I think this is the nicest photo! Hee..
The next icon of Paris - The Eiffel Tower! The tower is a lot bigger than what I expected! A huge architecture and the most important icon of Paris.
We are at the Arc De Triomph! Another icon of Paris that you cannot miss there. It looks small, but it is big! I used to think that cars can pass through the Arc, but apparently I was wrong. This Arc is a gift from a country to France and has lots of beautiful carvings and artwork on it, both interior and exterior.

Random photo shot on the streets...
Below is LaFayette Gallery - The shopping mall in Paris that has got all the famous brands in one building. The people there are more than those I see at the tourist attractions. Especially shops like LV, Gucci, Prada.. They are all packed with Chinese, Japanese and Koreans! But to admit, the branded goods there are really cheap! At least a lot cheaper than what I see in SG!
