Paris! – Day 4

Today will be short. I am allowed free time after lunch if I get my work done. The guy I’m liaising with isn’t here yet but I hope at least he can provide me with the new codes we agreed on yesterday. I plan to go shopping for souvenirs and any interesting stuff that can’t be bought in Singapore.



Note to self: WORK SHOES are NOT SUITABLE for WALKING LONG DISTANCES! Damn my feet hurts bad. I spent 3 hours walking from office back to my hotel to pick up the digital camera and then down to the Madeleine Cathedral it was a magnificent view inside. Then from there, I headed south to an obelisk, went across the Seine river and walked alongside it all the way to the Eiffel Tower. The queue to go up was longer than the day before so I gave up all hope of spending 10.40euro to get up that tower.


Then I headed to the Galeries LaFayette Haussman, supposedly a shopping district, to look for more good items to buy. Went up one of the buildings and all 6 floors sell clothes and nothing else. Walked around the area and went into a chocolate shop. Spent 72 euro buying chocolates then I headed back to the hotel. We were meeting a China guy in the office and his wife for dinner at a Thai restaurant. Boss doesn’t drink much alcohol so it was me, him, and his wife to finish up the grape wine. They happen to know the boss of the restaurant and he offered us a bottle of champagne free. This is the first time I had champagne. I drank so much I feel blur but in control.


I slept the moment I went back to my room.
