paris

when we arrived in paris, we spent almost 2 hours searching for our hostel. when we finally found it, we were too tired to go anywhere.

the next day, we went to the red light district for moulin rouge and the erotic museum. the shows were too expensive so we didn't enter moulin rouge.
we did, however, enter the erotic museum. it was full of pictures and sculptures of men and women's private parts. there was also a keris with a penis as it's handle. and on the top floor, there was a man just standing there in an s&m costume whom we didn't dare to look at in the eye. haha. warning: a few obscene pictures ahead.

one of the first porn films. this is a threesome. they were later joined by another guy who gave this guy a blowjob while the girls did the same in the background.

a chair which licks you

the arc of triumph which honours soldiers which fought for france

notre dame cathedral where they had mass while tourists were walking around and watching and taking pictures

the eiffel tower at night

once every hour, for a few minutes, it's lit with blinking lights

an arc outside the louvre museum

the famous pyramid is the main entrance. the museum is so huge that we didn't manage to cover the whole place.

overheard from a tourguide: what's amazing about the mona lisa is not the painting itself, but the big crowd which assembles every day in front of such a simple painting.

crown jewels
satyrs staring downwards for some unknown reason. the descriptions were all in french.

venus de milo

jardin des plantes

mint and lavender

the eiffel tower in the day time, with sylvain who was nice enough to bring(or follow) us around for 2 days. we were going to take the lift to the top floor but he suggested we climb to the 2nd floor coz it would be more fun. fun. right. anyway we all made it to the 2nd floor with me being last and very tired. 115m.

on the 1st floor

on the 2nd floor

on our last night in paris, we decided to stop scrimping and have a french dinner. we had escargot for our entrees. it wasn't bad.

we spent our last day in paris waiting at the bus station for a bus to the airport, and then waiting at the airport for our flight. and finally, because we arrived in prestwick after 12, there were no more trains and buses so we had to wait for a cab to bring us home. i finally went to bed at 3am on thursday morning. what a tiring trip. and now we all have flu. but it was nice.
