法国巴黎（二）。Paris France (Part 2)

The next morning (13 May 2007 Paris date), 4 of us had breakfast together. Eric made coffee and tea for us. Mr Yap almost finished all the cookies.

第二天一早，4条友就起床了。Eric泡了咖啡和茶。大吃鬼叶先生有几乎把人家的cookies干到完。



After that, Sri guided us to The Garnier opera house (Palais Garnier). This is the background of the story of "Phantum of Opera". We took metro. Eh, you know, in Paris, their metro service is so complete and the charge is reasonable. Only about Euro1.4 per zone (that means you could transit as many time as you can, as long as still within the same zone). Compared to our LRT here, I was speechless that time......My Shanghai friend Crystal ever complaint to me,"Why your LRT system is so sucks ya? Why half way cannot transit further ya?" You see, how LAO YA our LRT system is.

过 后，Sri带我们搭地铁去歌剧院。那里是夜半歌声的故事背景。巴黎的地铁网络够广，而且收费合理。欧币1.4 就能无限量转车，只要在同一区的话。跟我们KL/PJ的LRT比，差天差地liao！我的上海同事跟我讲过：“你们的LRT怎么那么差的鸭？！会突然间转 不到车的鸭。。。” 你看，我们几捞鸭？




This is the grand foyer of the Garnier opera house. When the handsome Parisian tour guide of the opera house was telling the stories about the meaning of each and every decoration in the hall, I snapshot this photo. This photo looks like a postcard.

多么美轮美奂的大堂。那些吊着的不是蜡烛，是灯泡。当那个靓仔巴黎导游正在讲解这大堂的独特设计时，我拍下了这张照片。很有postcard的感觉。



Saw this interesting sculpture.

雕像: 看什么看？没看过靓仔啊？



Every single staircase at the back has its unique shape and design.

每个阶梯的设计都是独一无二的。这里真的很豪华。



Went back to the condo. Eric fetched us to Versailles, to check out this luxury palace. Eric is very good in history. He could tell us a lot of ancient stories with the date provided. Wow, talented young lawyer! We witnessed how a genuine Parisian park his car. You know, their parking skill is unbelievable! Such a small space, Eric managed to park his car in! You know, when Parisian park their car, they will not pull their hand brake, so that when other people park car, they can slightly knock the cars in front and behind, as an indication that the car already successfully been parked in ngam ngam. Their car bumpers all have scratched scars. If you think your parking skill is superb, then I think you really need to test your parking skill in Paris before you said you are good in parking, haha!

回到公寓，Eric载我们到凡尔赛宫，看看古代的法国皇帝有几巴闭。Eric很厉害，竟然记得 那么多历史故事，而且连年份都记得。不愧为年轻有为的律师。我们也见识了巴黎人的泊车技术。Eric的车轻轻地动到了前面和后面的车，他说：“刚刚好！” 我望一望后面的车，是Merz 跑车。巴黎人泊车后都不拉hand brake，那么就可以被人家轻轻地撞一下。他们的车前车后，都会有被轻撞刮花的痕迹。如果你认为自己的泊车技术很厉害，先别骄傲。等你能够在巴黎把车子泊好的事后，才来骄傲吧！

This is Versailles. 这就是凡尔赛宫。



Luxury King Bed. Not King size bed, it's King Bed.

什么叫高床暖枕？ 这是路易斯的龙床。



Why those people like to paint on the ceiling? If you go Europe, must bring along a mirror, so that you can see the painting on the ceiling without hurting your neck.

古代的人很喜欢把画画在上面。如果去欧洲旅行，1定要记得带1面镜子去，方便看上面的画。我就是没有带镜子，所以脖子就快要断了。



Coming back from Versailles, we past by Eiffel Tower again. Mr Yap and I decided to drop there again, while Eric & Sri went back to the condo. The ride going up to the tip of the tower was Euro10 per person. At the tip of the tower, I can see the whole view of Paris city. A well developed city, but not destroying all the historical buildings. The cold strong wind was blowing. I was shivering.

从凡尔赛宫回公寓的路途，我们又经过铁塔。昨天 叶先生和我没有上到铁塔上面，有点不甘心，所以我们两个瓜就叫放我们在这里，他们先回去公寓。我们乘电梯上去塔峰，一个人欧币10块。在铁塔的顶端，整个 巴黎市尽收眼帘下。这么先进的城市，竟然保留了酱多的古迹，哪里像我们酱，百多年的印度庙都被拆掉。那些鸡蛋糕笨蛋难道不知道古迹可以赚钱吗？刺骨的风吹 得我全身麻痹。讲话都发抖。





Summer season, the day time was longer than night time. 7PM there, the sky still looked like afternoon in Malaysia.

正逢夏天，所以晚上7点了可是感觉上好象只有马来西亚的下午那样。



Went down from the tower. Gru gru gru......We could heard our stomach making noise. We bought french fries and coffee, had it right underneath the tower.

从塔峰下来后，肚子咕鲁咕鲁响了。买了薯条和咖啡，就坐在铁塔下吃。

9PM, the light on the tower had on, but the sky still not turned dark fully.

晚上9点了，铁塔亮灯，可是天空依旧没有暗下来。

The romance sense was in the air. A lot of couples were having french kiss in front of the tower. Mr Yap and I were not an excetion. We felt so happy and sweet at that moment.

四周洋溢着浪漫的气氛。热情的情侣们都情不自禁的来个法式热吻。我和叶先生，也都。。。。。。我们当时的心情，何止浪漫酱简单？

10PM, the tower started blinking, for 10 minutes. Since year 2000, every night starting from 10PM the tower will blink. Every subsequent hour will blink for 10 minutes until the last blink for 2AM. (I am not sure, am I correct, Sri?).We recorded some videos there. However, I could not edit the videos in office now. I will upload it from my house later, if I am free to do so......

晚上10点，铁塔开始闪烁，持续15分钟。自2000年，巴黎市每晚九点开始，每隔一小时（如果没记错的话）都会闪烁，凌晨2点是最后一次。 我们把这个美丽的闪烁录了下来。现在公司的电脑不能edit video， 迟些如果得空的话，会从家里upload上来。

When we were on the way going back to the condo, we past by a McD. Just bought a burger, Euro1.90 only. So cheap (Do not think about the currency la......Parisian earn about the same as Malaysian but their living cost is not that high).

回公寓的路途，我们经过McD。买了个汗宝宝， 才欧币1.90，便宜。不要想货币兑换率啦！人家法国人的新水也是几千快，可是人家用块9钱就能到一粒汗宝宝，一片正版CD才16块钱。难怪马来西亚翻版那么猖狂。。。。。。

To be continued France Paris (Part 3)......
