Trip to France Part II

Before I start on this post about my trip in Toulouse and Paris, these are some of the photos that I forgot to upload in my previous post .. So here you are ..

Our team in the simulation game

After our stop at Andorra, we returned to Toulouse .. Glad to be back to a city where there are PEOPLE .. We tour the whole city of Toulouse basically on foot .. Imagine the city as big as Kuala Lumpur and we walked the whole Toulouse by foot .. It was damn tiring I tell you .. No taxi or bus to be seen .. Poor public transportation .. Even they have one, we don't know where it heads to as it is all in French .. And I must admit that my French is not that good ..

Posing ..

Posing yet again ..

Playing with reflection

Here, we stopped at Capitol Square ..


Then, hunger strikes .. I haven't had breakfast so we went into this nice and small restaurant inside a market mall ..

Without fail, they will serve you wine

This caught my attention while strolling the streets of Toulouse

I'm playing with reflections .. again!

My brunch .. Don't know what chicken with potatoes and salad

My dessert .. Apple crunch pie!

Siao Ling's dessert .. Creme caramel!

McDonald's in Toulouse

Then, we stopped at Victor Hugo Market ..

Cheeseee .. Lots of cheeseee!

Meats ..

They even have this counter where they served all kinds of wines and herds of people can be seen drinking while standing and chatting .. I'm not sure if its free flow .. Didn't ask ..


Mother and son sculpture

Basallic (not sure if its the right spelling) Church

Then came dinner .. It was raining and freezing cold .. In desperation of hot environment and food .. So we went nearby Victor Hugo and found this really chic casual fine dining restaurant ..

Not sure if this is the name of the restaurant



All the waiters are man .. Not even one single women staff in sight .. I started wondering if this is a gay restaurant .. Nahhh ..! Just my thoughts .. The environment was cozy and the interior was something different compared to all the regular fine dining restaurants in France ..

My pure strawberry juice

My appetiser .. Eggplant kind of pie

My main course .. Pan-fried salmon and potato quiche

Day 2 ..

Let you guys have a look at this unique toilet

Dropped by at Louis Vuitton

My last meal in Toulouse .. Kebabs!!

Off we went to Paris ..

After dinner at Chinatown

The moment we reached Paris, the weather starts to sucks .. Raining and freezing cold ..

With Philip at Seine River

Double-decker train

Notre Dame .. Don't know what is it .. Watch the cartoon Hunchback of Notre Dame

Formule 1 hotel in Paris

Sink in the room but toilet outside .. Dormitory style

Carmes Station

Subway during rush hour

Entrance to Notre Dame


Another double-decker train

Finally, the main reason why I came to Paris is .. To take a picture with the famous Eiffel Tower kekeke ..


Chinese restaurant in Chinatown

Does this look like a curry to you?? Believe me, its not spicy at all even though I requested for extra spicy ..

Day 2 in Paris ..
Me and Mei woke up early just to go to Lourve Museum ..

The famous pyramids ..

Up close and personal with The Sphinx

A mummy's casket .. I don't know what you called it

Some X rated stuff for you guys to drool on ..

The beautiful and impressive paintings on the ceiling

Main attraction of this museum is .. Jeng jeng jeng .. Mona Lisa
Real one okay .. Not a fake one .. You stare into her eyes and move left, right, up, down .. Her eyes will always follow you .. Scary huh??



After almost 2 hours at the museum, I was running hungry ..
Again we went to a fine dining restaurant at Champs Ellysee ..

My main course .. Duck!!

Louis Vuitton at Champs Ellysee


I also managed to dropped by the infamous Moulin Rouge .. Paris red district!!


My last meal in Paris .. Some more I had it in PARIS RED DISTRICT!!

Salmon .. Nothing but salmon and few slices of toast bread
