I took a wrong turn down a cobbled stoned alleyway and happened to walked across an internet cafe - something that is not very abundant in Paris and I realised that I haven't blogged in about two weeks - partly because the aforementioned inaccessibility to the internet and partly because I have been so busy with Paris.
To sum up the previous two weeks - Paris is breathtakingly spectacular. From the moment I landed at the airport, I knew that Paris will be a special place and it has been an experience more wonderous than what I have ever experienced or had anticipated. The grandeur and glamour of this place is truely amazing - it never fails to surprise you where ever you go.
Walking the streets, you can feel the history of countless people who have walked the same Rue as you. Looking up and catching a glimpse of the peak of the Effiel tower - wordless awe. Touching the giant Louis Vuitton monogram suitcase in front of the Champs Elysees store - utter ectasy. Climbing the bell tower of Notre Dame to reveal the sprawling city - unimaginably tiring. Catching the stares of people as I walked out of Dior with a gigantic shopping bag wider than most doors - stunning. Fighting my way through the trongs of people at the Louvre to see La Jonconde - anti-climatical. Climbing the giant H staircase at Helmut Lang - inspirational. Standing at the place where Marie Antoniette had their head chopped off - hilarious. Having the doors openned for you while shopping at boutiques - priceless.
No matter where you are in Paris or what you are doing, Paris never fails to make you feel special. Alas, Paris is beyond superlatives and is an experience I hope everyone will enjoy.
Au reviour
