Paris Day 2

Finally I got my Day 2 in Paris photos uploaded
We visited Versailles Palace in the early morning..
After some chaos, we reached the legendary palace..
It is big..super big... 

The main entrance

Yes, you will need a map to know where you are.


Me and her



Always like to jump in every important monument

All is in real GOLD




The ceiling drawing in the Palace! All are awesome!

The mirror hall! It is so like in a movie.

Super happy with my panini. =D

The "leg" of the table. Artistic. 
Lamp

In the gaming room, they play pool too! How awesome!

It's a clock with a thermometer. It was there since 17th century.


















It is pretty.

In one of the garden. The Tree is super high..it makes the garden seems to be a maze.

No, I am lost! LOL

背景有冬季恋歌的feel








Another garden

Tourist. Map + camera.

Awesome!

ahh finally the sun came out!

It's Napoleon. If I'm not mistaken.
 That's all for the Versailles Palace. It took us 6 hours to visit it. Only for the 3 important place and several garden. It might takes a day or more if you really wana visit all of them.

He is awesome. 河畔的街头艺人

 Next stop: Notre Dame!


Voila!

A little rose "garden" outside the church.

Idk why, their roses can be so big in France. Or maybe in the whole europe.

The fast pigeon. 
Ok, in Notre Dame.
It is beautiful. You can find Jane (圣女贞德) in this church too.





Beautiful.


That's all for Notre Dame. Time for dinner.
Artists is all around the city. This is a picture of a group of musician in the metro station during the peak hour. 

Visited another park. Used to be a royal park, but now it is a public park for the Parisien to relax.

A random street.
Le Bastille. The place where the people cut Louis XVI (if im not mistaken) off and start the new country. 

Kebab for dinner. It is nice and cheap.



Random building.

It's a government building.

Dessert!

Bakery.

More bakery.

Yes, they love bread!

How cool is it. The price tag is in electronic tag.

Yeo's instant noodle. wana buy it so badly to try it. But i dont have a kitchen. =(

In the supermarket. 

Yes, they like to draw.
 The last stop: Le Tour Eiffel!
I think everyone love it but not the Parisien. This is what my teacher told me today. I dont know why because I dont really can understand what she is talking about. But, I am positive that she said Parisien hate it. Anyway, I love it. very much.
We have a lovely journey in this tower. As the price for taking lift straight to the top is a bit expensive, we decided to take the stairs until the 2nd floor, then take the lift to the top. It is a bit tough, but we are glad we did it! =)
FYI, during the summer, the day is longer than the night. The sun set around 9.30pm or 10pm sometimes. It is good that we dont have to rush to visit the monument.
For the Eiffel Tower, we went there around 8pm, so that we could see it during the "day" and night=)
It's in bronze.









The Stairs. Let the journey starts. 


Yes, We are in the 2nd Floor!

View

Yes, Paris a place that you should came with lover and have a kiss while looking the tower. Too bad mine wasnt here. HAHAHA.

It is even beautiful with the lights.


 Night Views.




Me Under the tower.






Cant get a great one because at that time we are rushing to the metro. =(

Anyway, it was a pleasant trip. On the second day, I noticed that there is a lot of "drawing" in Paris. I used the word "drawing" because it seems to be fine for the people to drawing in anywhere that they like even the monument. For me, I see that as vandalism. Sometimes, I felt speechless that they were given too much freedom to express themselves and forgot to protect the historical items. sigh.
