Vibe of Paris

Paris, a huge wish on the genie list of many, is definitely not as romanticised as it really is but it is special. really special. special for the fact that the entire Paris is flat, and a homogenous height of buildings “pierce” into the city skyline. only Rue de Rennes and the Eiffel tower truly penetrate the skies.

it was an enjoyable trip to french territory, slightly damaged by their snobbishness, some sucky hostel that did not come that cheap for its lousy service and some angst from sheer weariness given i had already been travelling for 1month plus without much significant rest, all the way from US to europe.

it was where i met my Singaporean friend in the subway of Paris in the most impossible manner of bumping into one another.

it was where i enjoyed slacks for the first time, going into the night with only a hoodie where temperatures went really low.

it was where i tried to stand down, wear shorts, sling dslr, carry tripod, walk around, eat macs, eat street side stalls and yet no one even tried to snuff me out how best i tried.

Oh wells, that aside, it must have been a worthy payback to watch the world cup finals along the grass patches of the famous Eiffel tower area. and what more, to watch France lose to Mexico. that night was memorable and i screamed with the mexicans in the predominantly french territory. awesome. at least that’s the best apart from the soccer season that was not in town during my presence.
