paris revisited – preamble

somehow i got bitten by the paris bug. i decided on a whim to visit paris again. prior planning be damned. it all was basically a pack and go. i spent a total of 5 days and 4 nights. as a guide, i borrowed a lonely planet guidebook from the library and brought it along with me.

so, why so long to blog this post? well, i came back, tired, then celebrated christmas and new year. so i was all relaxing one corner and taking a beak from all the studying the previous term. in between, nothing much happened but i did have a special christmas dinner with champagne. as for new year, dinner was three straight days of tom yam ‘steamboat’. needless to say, dunno what compelled me to spend so much for these two festivities that i’m planning on cutting down my chinese new year budget. lunch has also been much of a problem. at least when school was open, you go to canteen and eat whatever slop they serve. holiday lunch requires planning and options are getting limited when you are fed up with western, pasta and chinese food so expensive. but enough of all this. back to the paris trip.
