A Paris...

Hi! I went to Paris 2 weekends ago, did you know?

I loved it there! It's so cool the hear everyone speak French.. it makes English sound very unromantic. I wanna relearn French now!

They say the locals are usually mean to tourist, but everyone that i met was nice.

The Eiffel Tower with Chi Han and her friends. It was cold and raining.

We went to Versailles. This is Marie Antoinettes 3rd house located in her garden. Let me explain. Marie Antoinette lived with the King in Versaille but she was able to have King Louis build her a private estate in the back of the palace. Then she had another little cottage house in her garden/farm. What a lucky girl .

This is a fat pig that lives on her farm.. its really fat.
I dont think it can walk very well.. it probably has to roll around to get places. hahahhha.. im picturing it in my head. hahah!
Did you know that if you dont pick a artichoke, it blooms into purple flowers??
This is her little lake in front of her garden house. I wish i was her :(
Now this is the actual Palace of Versaille where King Louis XVI lived.
Hallway

One of the many many rooms.
The amazing hall of mirrors. It was very shiny in there.
I wish i can put up more pictures but it takes too long. You can just imagine how grand the palace was knowing how much money went into building it.

Now french food.

Escargot. These were cooked for too long.. they werent slimey or anything, it was actually a little crunchy. I remember had better ones in Vegas.

Authentic French crepes. They were good. lol.. but i mean, eggs milk and flour can only taste so different in another country.
