Downtown Paris

Our last city as part of our Europe excursion - Paris. Kinda unfortunate we stayed in the outskirts of Paris so visiting the city at night wasn't a good idea. There was hardly any public transportation where we were staying too, so the nights were spent watching TV and utilizing the free Wifi connection =)


Arc de Triomphe

Arc de Triomphe. There was a time limit for our tour bus to stop at the roadside so we had like, 5 mins to run to this place, take pics and then run back.

Obelisk of Luxor at Place de la Concorde. Funny pic cuz you'd guessed Lawrence was pulling the car.


Tuileries Garden, Paris

Tuileries Garden.


Lunch. The bad part about this tour is we have more Chinese food than local delicacies.


This is Sam, our tour guide originally from Singapore.


This is Boon Kit, I might have been holding on him too tight.


Lourve Pyramid, Paris

As close I could get to the Lourve Pyramid. Nope, didn't have the time to visit The Mona Lisa.


And that was it. We went to Galeries Lafayette, and I spent some time looking for a I Love Paris t-shirt (finally got one at 10 euros) at a roadside stall. Went for dinner and gossiped a lot. Some got a lil drunk from the wine. We also celebrated birthdays for those born in September (Happy birthday Ah Foo!!) and then went back to the hotel and watched TV.

We had 2 plasma TVs in our suite!
