Paris Trip Day 2 (7 Apr)

Woke up at 8am went for breakfast have french loaf, cappuchino from the coffee machine :P yoghurt and croissant.

After our yummie breakfast, ah keng went to toilet as usual for his morning call XD while i called Shangyuan to tell him to meet us outside St-Micheal's Notre Dame at 10am. Since our hotel is quite near Notre Dame we decide maybe we could take a look ard Cite Metro station which is also quite near our meeting place. Below is the pic of the Court of Justice in Paris.



Surprisingly this day shot of the Seine river is so nice...wah like fake one XD but generally we are quite happy to be greeted wif such beautiful scenery and good weather early in the morning unlike last evening when we arrived all drenched in the rain. ><"

Can see nice nice Eiffel tower along seine river in the left background


Paris bid for Olympics 2012


Rear Gardens of Notre Dame




Our first group shot in the famous Palais Musee de Louvre where Mona Lisa painting is kept in. Hehehee later u will get to see how normal the painting look like but dunno why so famous leh and crazy too have to queue and squeeze yr way thru to take pic of the painting ><

Famous pyramid structure in Louvre Musuem




Pyramid entrance damn...have to pay 8.50 euros for admission into the 4 wings of the musuem. Shangyuan said last time u could buy tix for a single wing for like 6 euros onli which is more worth it because once u are inside u could actually go into other wings de haizz...ang moh system really kinda stupid aiyah now they found out this loophole le we cannot bua chao (play cheat) anymore. Anyway our target in Louvre musuem is to go to Denon Wing where the famous Mona Lisa potrait is kept the rest of the wings are quite interesting too but this Louvre musuem is super damn big think if we wanna look thru everything and enjoy at leisure pace we can easily spend a good 3 days inside no way we are going to do tat man!! so we just take the brouchure see wats recommended and along the way we see got anymore interesting things to look at anot...coz frankly speaking all 4 of us are not very arts arts ppl XDD just look see will do lah aiyoh XD





Borghese Gladiator
Reminded Shangyuan of the good old days back in Chinese High when he was a javelin thrower XD


The Winged Victory of Samothrace

The Dying Slave (Michelangelo)


Psyche and Cupid

Aphrodite, Venus de Milo
Greek goddesss of love and beauty ^^ omg wat happened to her arms man??


Realise something between these statues? yeah they are all being chopped off either head or limbs lah kinda funny rite maybe next time if u gonna make a sculpture u should chop off some of its body parts too then will get famous XD

Haha think enuff of sculptures le hor actually its mainly abt greek and roman mythology statues i wish i know more abt the ancient mythology like storybook mah quite interesting think summer hols if i got the time will borrow some books to look at them pity that i cant go thru them one by one in the museum too time wasting.....okie lets not waste time proceed to the Mona Lisa Potrait....here we come!!!

The Wedding Feast at Cana (Veronese)


The Coronation


Some nice ceiling think roman arts






After spending like 2.5hrs in the museum our stomachs start to make noise le then also quite disinterested to continue looking at the paintings so we decided to proceed to Charles de Gaulle - Etiole to have lunch and take photos with the Arc de Truimph then also take a walk down Champs Elysee shopping paradise in Paris.
