Chinatown-Chateau de Versailles
Friday, February 09, 2007
Ok, basically, last weekend I went out to Chinatown which is in Paris. Wah, I was so happy to be able to find all kinds of spices they don't have in the normal supermarkets. They even have other types of veggie, unlike the common supermarkets which only sells broccolli, lettuce and long beans. But since they're super x, i settle with broccoli again arh in the end. LOL.After that went and meet a few other fellow Singaporeans. They are all super super nice people. M so glad to have them as companions here.
U noe... so many things are sooo pretty here... So I can't possibly feature all pics here lah. It's too tiring, so i've put all my pics at: http://picasaweb.google.com/rdelzz
So, I'll just feature more interesting pics here ya...
OK, first. Look at the car!!!!
It's french car. LOL. Une petite voiture! (A tiny car)
It's so small that I find it so cute. Only 2 ppl can fit in, but it's not sports car, lol, it's half the size of normal car i think.
I guess it'll b easier to drive that. I think I would be able to drive that small car, anyone want a ride? But get ur life and hospitalisation insurance first ya. Wahahaha.....
OK, next!!! I wanna complain!!!
U imagine ya. This photo on the left, i s taken from this train station, supposedly the nearest from my school. Guess how near is nearest????
U see, that stretch of trees where above is already the sky??? THAT'S WHERE SUPELEC IS!!!!! So yeah, to get to the station on sunday (coz no bus on sunday) and at nite after 9pm, we have to walk down the stupid hill, through some jungle, and out through a stretch of houses. It's soooo damn far and tiring u noe, the going up i mean. It's sooo steep the slope, mayb 30-40 degrees arh, but it feels like 50 degrees man!!!! Heh! I complained to my French friend, who the hell has the idea of building a school at the top of a hill, far from everywhere, in the middle of a stretch of fields. He just laffed and said, well, at least we got a nicer view and it's very peaceful here. Duh! Of course it's peaceful, there's noone else here except us. LOL
Anyway, other than the walking, the trip on sunday to Chateau de Versailles (Versailles Castle) is niceeeee. The weather was perfect, it's very cold but there was sun. So, very nice. The park is hugeeeeee. At the end of the trip we were so tired from all the walking. We walked 10 hrs almost non stop man. And on the way back i still had to climb that stupid hill with all the strength remaining in me (which was not much, really). The guys had to stop several times to wait for me lol.... Well, wat to do, I tried my best, I did! Hahaha....
Oh, and this is my fav place in the castle. It's sooooo pretty and feels so peaceful. I really like the place. In spring, it would be even prettier. I wud go there again in summer!!! Anyway, we went there to Versailles coz there's free entrance to all museums and castles on first sunday of every month during winter here. So, it's free!! Otherwise, it'll cost quite a lot. Yupz! We're a bunch of cheapskate people. LOL
