City of Culture

All the buzz and excitement has finally got the best of me. I now have caught a cold. In summer? Apa taknya, lepas habis conference kami berjalan for 11.5 hours! Repeat 11.5 hours! S'like gile ke hape??? Sebab in summer pukul 10 malam baru gelap, so banyak masa nak jalan!

But yes, somehow we managed to stay on our feet long enough to capture the beauty of the city that is Paris. It certainly is a very special place indeed, and I cannot express enough how much I have enjoyed this particular visit to the city of culture. Selalu take Paris for granted. Maybe because it is so close to London. Yeah, Paris, nice, so what. Tapi bila dah tua2 sikit ni you see it through different eyes and really appreciate the unique city with its unique limestone buildings, and beautiful French language.

"Paris is like a diamond, small and concentrated, with many facades. Here you will find everything from the most expensive to the most cheapest of Paris, from the best to the worst of Paris. No matter how many times you come, you will discover many different things, a whole lot more, and more"

This is the only photo of me giving my presentation.

Sacre Coeur

A mini train ride around the Montmarte area.

On the way down...

 

Louvre. 

Dalam movie The Davinci Code ada tak shot ni? hehehe

Note to self: Pls don't wear this shirt when sightseeing because it is clingy :P

We didn't quite manage an evening cruise, but is was nice just the same...

 

The queue for Eiffel Tower at one of the four legs.

Paris is a flat city!

The tall lone building is our Hotel.

First attempt to the summit.

Sebelum ni tak pernah naik to the top sebab malas nak queue.

My first sunset view from Eiffel Tower. Serious romantic!
Masa ni pukul 9.30pm!

My first experience with Eiffel Tower at dusk.

This was the moment I fell in love with this amazing monument...

It is an entirely different tower at night.

It is truly magical.

Till next time, au ruvoir XXX
