I returned Wednesday night from my trip
to Paris...been there for a couple of days to
visit my boyfriend who has to do an internship
there. argh, itīs so expensive and the French
are so damn arrogant when you canīt speak
their language. They would try to diddle me
very often ...particularly when giving out
change. boy, is that brand-new Luis Vuitton
shop at the Champs-Elysčes ugly. it has
Japanese girls taking pictures of themselves
with the LV symbol in the background 24/7.
Been walking around and saw lots of things.
Went up the Eiffel Tower (where Duran Duran
shot the "View To A Kill" video!!!) and for a
boat trip on the Seine. Their subway closes at
midnite unfortunately and itīs like impossible
getting a cab so once we had to walk around
90 minutes to get home. aaargh. Been to that
cemetery where Jim Morrisonīs grave is on,
the Sacre Coer, Montmarte, NotreDame etc etc
etc. There was this guy selling souvenirs who
called me "baby girl" :mad: i took a picture
of the original signature of Napoleon the 1st!!!
what i liked best....weīve been to a giant
vintage market with everything you can
think of and there was this 80s parrot robot
and it would at times just turn on randomly
and let go a weird noise or a strange sentence.
i loved it so so much. oh if only iīd bought it.

Oh man, that does sound like fun. The only reason I'd go to Paris is to go to Notre Dame. . . . .

oh well. not travelling THAT much.
i still know which country iīm currently
at.

notre dame was pretty
impressive. though it didnīt look
like in the quasimodo movie.

this is its front:



and the side which is way more
appealing:



but Sacre Coeur is a sheela, too:
