Paris is a Romantic City!

Hands up those who agree. There, there, I see your hand, and yours too… and you over there… yup.. and there….

Ok, now tell me… Why do you have that impression? For those of us who has never been to Paris, but always stereo-typed it as romantic and filled with love, now think again. What makes you think that way?

It’s the kissing, so says my friend. And she’s not the only one who thinks so too! A nurse I met at the blood bank says she heard French guys are great kissers! Ha! I’ll say it’s the work of the media! The movies we’ve watched since young have always portrayed the lead actors and actresses kissing on Paris streets, love unfolding, illicit affairs, romantic dreams fulfilled…. hmmmm….. or is it the dictionary? French kiss? Reminds us of French guys I suppose… ahhhh… Oh! Did I mention? I was looking everywhere for that authentic French Fries but I found Nothing!! >(

Oh well… potatoes aside, I had a dream fulfilled. I finally came face to face with Mona Lisa….haha! Not! Rather, I finally saw and touched the magnificent glass pyramid by my favorite architect IM Pei! I was dumbstruck as I stood in awe before the grand entrance to The Louvre Museum, I fell on my knees and worshipped the ground that he must have paced…. Ok that’s a tad stretched….but I sure was speechless with delight and admiration as I stared at this glorious structure I’ve so often seen in books, now so real and solid before me.

Summary of my Paris trip

And the verdict? Hmm… Singapore is a romantic place too…. =/
