Not going to drive there, it'll be a nightmare! Left: Who doesn't recognize this sign? Right: I have no idea what's this, some sort of memorial arch. There's a lot in the

So many people and

I'm still using the cartoon drawn by Eggyolks after so many years, it's just too cute! Thanks for the cartoon! I'm supposed to change the whole template but couldn't find one that can fulfill my needs. Hence, just a change of the header.

Anyway, the view was really nice, it's just like in the storybook, never in my dream that I will be seeing such scenery with my own eyes. We went up the staircase... 199 steps leading to St.

We only went out in late afternoon. Left: A structure in Thornaby found along the road. Forgot what it was. Right: Paint bucket structure built at one of the roundabouts. Many roundabouts there and each of them have unique structure built on it. The weather wasn't sunny,

Off to Musée du Louvre. Goodness! LONG QUEUE! In fact, all the tourist spots in Paris are like that. Even though it's long, it didn't really require one to wait for too long to get in. The entrance

This is one crazy roundabout! Man! Driving in Paris is scary! There's no way you can cross the road so they built an underground tunnel to get to the arc. There's people everywhere in Paris especially tourists. After that we walked down to Champs-Elysées for window shopping.

High end shopping place *gulp* Good thing there's area for people like us. More affordable options. It was a rather cold day. Not summer at all for me! I felt a bit cheated *LOL* To me, it's autunm/winter of Australia!

It's quite an agony in the plane as it's a non-stop flight direct from KL to London. The entertainment system wasn't that up to date and nothing much to do. Trying to sleep but the seat didn't favour short

Took a taxi there, that's the easiest way to get there. I forgot how much was the fare but it wasn't that bad provided you're not going during rush hour. See the structure on the top most of the building? That's

The smell of the popcorn was so strong, it came from Garrett Popcorn. Automatically we went for it. Just for the sake of trying out since the smell was so inviting. I bought The Chicago Mix(SGD8, small). It's actually a mix of CheeseCorn(yellow) and CaramelCrisp(brown).
