Paris

In the end of September 2002 we made a little weekend trip to Paris with our old time Singapore friends Micke and Marina.

We had only one evening and a full day to explore this large city, but we managed to get around quite a bit thanks to the subway system.

Versailles and the Eiffel tower was very impressive, but what I really liked was the older part of town with the buildings, shops and cafes. My impression is that the city is pretty crowded, expensive and expensive. This might have been because we only had a day to explore it. Perhaps if you go off the beaten track there is more genuine charm.

Nevertheless, the city is beautifull and it was great to see it!
