Happy New Year 2009

Couldn't believe its already 2009 and I am another year older! Not too sure whether that's a good thing or not.

Anyway, just looking through my photos and found these photos taken in Paris 3 Christmases ago (including this one). Didn't realise it was already more than 2 years now. Time flies eh?

On top of that, I am sure all of you are aware that some countries are affected by recession pretty badly. United Kingdom is one of them. It used to be about 7 ringgit to a pound and its now only worth 5 to a pound.

Anyway, this is a square located at the end of Avenue des Champs-Elysees (the most famous street in Paris, equivalent to Oxford Street, London). On the other end of the street is the famous Arc de Triomphe.



During Christmas season, there is always a fun fair. So definitely you'll be able to see ferries wheel.



Anyway, wishing all of you a happy new year and all the best in the year 2009!

Christmas at Paris

Merry Christmas to all of you out there! I am sure most of you realised that I am back in London. Its quite cold here which makes it a good place to spend Christmas! Hope it snows before I am back to Malaysia for Chinese New Year.

Anyway, here are some pictures of my visit to Paris 2 years ago. I was there for Christmas too.



Can-can dance anyone? The famous Moulin Rouge (it means red windmill in French) is known as the birth place for this dance.



This was taken at the top of Galeries Lafayette. In case you are wondering, Galeries Lafayette is a French department store for luxury brands and has always been a trend-setter in the Parisian fashion world.



Notre Dame, considered to be one of the finest Gothic Cathedral in France. Make sure you go up to the top of the tower to have a view of the whole area.



These buildings are just directly opposite the cathedral.



I think with a little bit of snow it will look awesome.



Paris Metro which is the opera house of Paris. It was opened way back in 1816.



Need I say more? You definitely need to get up to the 3rd level of this spectacular tower! Of course you have to pay a little bit more to get to the highest point but it is definitely worth visiting. Especially at night!



It was freezing cold then, our noses were all red! Not only that, it was so windy as well which makes it worse.

That's all for now, hopefully I do have the time to post more recent photos like the Hong Kong trip and some photos of Malaysia!

Once again wishing you all a Merry Christmas!

Eiffel Tower

It couple of years back when I was up on the Eiffel Tower. I still remember that it was quite a windy and cold winter.

The tower is divided into 3 levels. Obviously you will be able to see the whole Paris City from the 3rd level and the view is seriously gorgeous, especially the night view.



I guess most of you have realised that I haven't been updating my blog for about a month now. I will be updating my blog more frequently when I am back in London, hopefully :P

Anyway, more Paris photos coming up. Stay tuned!

Moulin Rouge

Ahh Moulin Rouge (red windmill in French). Raise your hands for those who have been there! I mean been in there!

The tickets to watch the show is slightly less than a hundred euros and if meals were included it will be up to 175euros.

Anyway, Moulin Rouge is one of the popular tourist attractions make sure you visit the place if you were in Paris. Closest metro station is Blanche.
