Paris Day 2 - Sacred Heart, Notre Dame, Patheon, Eiffel, LV

Sacred Heart - This was built to redeem the Nation's sins after the 1870 bloodshed of the Commune of Paris. You have to climb up a longgg fleet of steps, but the view and atmosphere is truly rewarding.

Music from Violin, Harp filled the air. Fantastic view from the basillica of the whole of Paris. I had my picnic there, along with great music, clear skies, cool wind and a great view.

Notre Dame de Paris- The exterior shows that it is of Gothic architecture nature

The interior of Notre Dame

The Pantheon - A great neoclassical monument, that serves as a famous burial place. However it started off as a church... the architecture of this monument really stands out from the rest of the parisian style buildings arround it.

Going to Paris without going to Eiffel tower is = not going Paris. Some people say it just looks like a piece of rusty metal... mesh of wires and steel etc... But the Eiffel to me is a truly amazing monument. I love the way the the metal rods bend upwards from the 4 corners and meet at the top... The perfect symmetry perfected at the time before you and me was born, or even your grandparents (built in 1889) is truly amazing.

Arc de Triomphe - Built to honor those who fight during the Napoleon wars.

Names of those honored are engrave on the monument.


then we took a long walk to the place where girls go "wild"...

If you step into this LV outlet... it feels like you are in China and not in Paris. WHY?! Because more than 75% of the customers are from China!!! The chinese are really getting wealthier!

Paris Day 1 - La Vallee Village, Supermarket

Suites by mdb

The french at the airport almost caused me to lose my luggages... diverted me to the wrong arrival hall. Anyway Paris CDG airport is well-known to be "unfriendly" according to my friends! The first day started off with no BANG.

But in the end, i my luggages was held in the office... and after hours... i finally reached my place of stay for the next few days! =)

Beautiful, sweet smelling flowers greet me every morning... I never knew flowers can smell so heavenly... Not Singapore orchid of cos!

The food dispenser machine - Forget buying anything from here... a packet of TWIX can cost 2 Euros, that is $4... WTH!

Unlimited rides for 5 days cost S$100

Fair enough for the $1oo if the state of the train is in a good state... Vandalism was abundant! The stench was kind of bad... smell of dead rats? stuffy...

Alighted at Paris Gard du Nord, and saw a interesting stall selling something which until today, I still have no idea what it is... I heard its fermented bread, but I have no idea how true this is

Lots of patissiere at the subway! I am literally droolingz most of the time!

Bought a cinammon roll with raisins... I dunno how to describe the taste man... it just taste GOOD even for a simple cinnamon roll!

The interior of a shopping centre

La Vallee - The "Village" that sells all the branded stuffs from Armani to Longchamp to Calvin Klein to many many unknown brands unheard...

and bought a bag for my work which is going to start in a few weeks time... :(

The shopping spree was followed by a groceries shopping spreeeee at a supermarket near La Vallee

I tried one if the sample cheese... and it taste like "PUKE"!!! The moral of this story is... never anyhow try cheese!

Bought bread for breakfast as we stay in a service apartment... so we make our own sandwiches in the morning...

Mont Blanc sell mineral water too?!?!?

Domokun goes to China for "Xiao Long Bao" and India for "Naan with Tandori Chicken"

Domokun likes the Xiao Long Tang Bao at the food court at the basement of Sim Lim Square. But one "bao" is too big for him, so he share half of it with me...

Argggh... Its too spicy for him! Domokun doesn't like spicy food. So in the end, he just eat the tandori and the naan without the curry. The tandori is very well "spiced" and fragrant.


Seems like Domokun like the food court of Sim Lim Square!


Tomorrow Domokun will be flying off already... He does not know about it until today, and only has 36 hours to pack his all-time favourite domokun likes.


Domokun wants to take photo with the Eiffel Tower in Paris

and then take an overnight train... to Germany...

Domokun is very excited!
He wants to take photo with the Sony center am Potsdamer Platz.


Lots of food awaits Domokun, but Domokun just like me, also like to run. So Domukun will be bringing his teeny weeny dokushoe to run there...

Domokun will be back in 2 weeks time!

Arrghhhh!!!!!!!
