And at montmatre, the two of us were cheated of our money! (gasp!) the cheats made off with a total of 35Euros just by tying the two of us a wishing band around our wrist, during which they sweet talked the 2 of us and told us it was for good luck and keeping us captive, after which they demanded payment individually.. Yet another catheral. This is the back end of the Cathedral of Notre Dame. No hunchback spotted there tho..this was where we took a little toilet break after trekking around the city.
And the tower of Paris..the Eiffel tower..Stunning at night, and you get to climb the tower and enjoy the magnifique sight there! ha..actually all scenes look the same from tall places..saw it at the rockefella center in New York. *boring* and it definitely is not the reccommended place to propose marriage either..so many people crowding around you hardly get space to kneel down or anything..but i guess it all depends on who you're with then..And with my Xiao Mei, even if it was really 4 stories tall only it was fantastic! And this is the little bit of sunset we got to see from the Eiffel tower while Hui Ling freezes as we queue on the second level of the Eiffel tower to get to the elevator that brings us up to the fourth floor..yess..the queue is mad..and you have to queue at around 7:30PM to make sure you get up and enjoy the place before you have to leave at around 1130PM..which is just about as much as we could take cos it was rather chilly there..
Another shot we took from the Eiffel tower while waiting in line..Down below you see small white spots on the grass patches..they are human beings..lounging on the grass..looks like a massive gun shoot-out and body counts to me..Hui Ling suggested we go down and join them and make the same view for people who are going up the Eiffel to see.

And we saw Singapore from the Eiffel! not really..but close enough
And just before anyone wonders why we hate each other so much we din want to take photos together..here's one!

And this is the ugliest museum i ever saw..Definitely the worst..So bad that i refused to go in and instead spent the day sitting in front of the museum laughing my head off at how ugly it was..and how i tot it was a construction site.
And this was the face i made when i saw the museum...
And these were the words i was thinking when Hui Ling told me that the ex president actually specially hired a designer to design that monstrosity..ohwell..it was good for an evening of laughs..there was good ice cream across from the museum tho..haha..
And this is the fabled moulin rouge..the windmill is real, the lights are real..but the place is really qt small and not as huge as the movie entails, which is rather disappointing. Hui Ling spotted a very young social escort with a old man there too..guess it really is a 'red light' district of Paris..did not hang around very long there..

And while we were at the Palace de Versailles, we had a run of the palace, with a good english audioguide with us [unlike other museums] and we learnt qt a bit about the palace, and about European Royal families and their royal depiction stuff..like the theme of divine appointment for the royalty carried on from Rome even to France and i'm guessing even in England. And i saw themes of Greek Mythology and of the fates and other oddities even though the country was christian/catholic and the royal families were supposed to be devout christians. And this is the Versailles garden, which is a fantastic place to nuah..see the faraway patch there? it's blue, and it's a lake! and they have row boats there! and it was rather cold and i was wearing a T-shirt..so i desperately wanted exercise to warm up so i suggested going boating..
