77th Solo : Sin-Cdg-Sin (Paris Day #2)

Good morning!


it's a clear day here in Paris.
after's ytd's experience out in the cold, i wrapped myself up like a ba zhang today!


it's a shopping day today.

passed by 'Arc de Triomphe' and decided to take touristy shot.
we literally risked our lives taking these pics because to be in the centre, we had to stand in the middle of the road.




and vehicles pass by us just so so closely!



no fences at all!


walked on the shopping street thereafter.

see the q. 
guess what are they q-ing for.


so atas right, the whole front!


yes, it's Abercrombie & Fitch!


walked on and saw another long q.
they're q-ing for Laduree!


because Angelina ytd burnt a hole in my pocket, so we decided not to q for Laduree this time.
shall try it on my next trip.

those trees, the street, too pretty to resist!


#ootd in Paris this winter season: in my new Zara winter jacket (that boyfriend got me) and my red hat (that eugene kaofu got me for Christmas).


spotted Christmas market from afar!


decided to take a walk through it.

see the animals.
look too real!




along the Christmas market.


spot the macaroons!


so colourful.
too many flavours!


and we were so so freakin cold, so we wanted to share something hot.


nomz nomz!
burgers and fries :D 


aft feeling our tummy, we moved on to shop shop.


this whole stretch are branded boutiques!
like a wow!?
why look so nice!?


streets of Paris.


taken when crossing the road halfway.
so preeeeetz ^,^


because the sales person needed some time to get the Bottega Veneta product over, we went to walk around the vicinity while waiting.

spotted the Eiffel Tower again, on the bridge.


night view of the Eiffel Tower.


touristy shot again.


Paris.


with the travel buddy :D :D


so glad Daren got a local number.
we left his number with the sales person and when the product arrive, she gave him a call.

we returned to the shop and got what we needed.


headed to Galeries Lafayette to take a look coz biujie told me about it.




well, it's a big departmental store with branded goods everywhere and tourists in it.

look at the inverted Christmas deco in the mall.
pretty :'>


didn't get anything there.

went back to the hotel aft that.


so glad my room is just in the front desk building itself.
coz i wouldn't want to walk to the other buildings in the cold!


and that is the end of my tour around Paris today.

well, spent 2 days here but i havent got the chance to take pics of/with the Eiffel Tower in the day.

gonna keep that for my trip with the boyfriend next time! 
yes, we will work towards that!

ordered their Hot Chocolate.


coz this is what they're known for.
you can add the whip cream if you want, but i chose not too :/

after our meal, we headed to the shop and see if there's anything we can get.


everything looked so nice...


but they're way exp too :/


see see, look look, take pic and left.
not worth at all.


when we left the cafe, it was alr dark.

made our way to The Louvre.

while on our way, this is the first public bus number i spotted in Paris.
why why why!
i miss my boyfriend la!


and we can actually spot the Eiffel Tower from afar!


took a touristy shot in front of the 'Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel' since it's also a known thingy.


next up --- The Louvre.


oi, shoo la!
本小姐 wants to take pic right! ^,^


ok, thanks :'>


travel buddy for this trip!



enough of pics at The Louvre.

moving on to see the Eiffel Tower.

spot the Eiffel Tower.
it may seem near, but it's actually a dist away.
plus, it was so dammit cold, i don't even wanna walk there.


we decided to pay and take the train.


q-ed in the cold to get the tickets.
so glad i'm 23rd this year coz  if i come back next year or the year after, i won't be able to enjoy student price anymore!


waiting for the lift to bring us up up up!


this lift will bring us halfway up, and we have to wait for another to bring us all the way up.


halfway there!
q-ing again for the lift to bring us up to the summit!


halfway on the Eiffel Tower.


then the wind had to start to blow blow blow~


tooo brr-ing coooooold!


and aft waiting for so so long in the cold, we're finally up there!
pics first!


look at the beautiful view from the top!


so glad to be up there, but it's even more cold!


forcing a smile with the strong cold wind hitting right onto my face!


then i couldn't take it anymore, i had to block it off!


and hide at a corner. lol.


our faces all turned red coz of the cold!


but since i was there and paid to be up there, i told myself to brave the cold wind for pics!
a must!


night view from the top.



:'>


then we headed down where's there's like a gallery of diff countries tallest building in comparison to the Eiffel Tower.


spotted ours, but i think it's not updated.
thought mbs is the tallest building, no?


a pic with the scenery at the midway of the tower.


apparently, they have souvenir shops and all.

decided to take a walk around.

they even have a see-through flooring which you can see through all the way to the ground.


plus, they have an ice-skating ring.




and a mini Eiffel Tower.


reflections reflections.


at the souvenir store!
mickey says hello from Paris!


and that was the end of our tour.

went back down.

because it's Christmas Season, we're thinking, that's why they have a big globe under the Eiffel Tower.

and when i say big, it's huge!


a few pics before we leave and go back to the hotel.


till next time.
