Greece

April 30th, 2008

Comments ( 0 )

The Acropolis considered by many as the most important ancient monument in the world. I was in Greece for a short break.. because my ex-boss was from Greece. He and his wife had so graciously welcomed me to their family home… and showed me some very interesting history. Not everyone in Greece spoke English, if my ex-boss wasn’t with me.. i wouldn’t have been able to get around as well. Greece boasts of a very unique legacy, when you arrived in Greece, you actually feel as if you will be see some Gods.  There are many smaller islands around Greece and it is quite mystical.. to be in Greece and exploring those small islands. Tipping is a must .. because the greeks are so awesome and friendly.. and don’t forget to tip the taxi driver as well.. because you will find him waiting for you .. at your hotel.. the very next morning.. when you are ready to go out.

Cute yellow taxi.. abit old .. and rough in shape.. but it does get you around.  Always make sure you agree on the price.. before hopping in .. some cabbies are really out to get whatever money they can outta you.

Paris, France

When i left Paris, some years ago.. after a short work stint of 6 months.. i cannot help but wanna stay a wee bit longer.. and a soak in more sights and the scene and the food. I would roam the streets for hours.. on those last days… and get as many pictures and memories store in my then not digital camera.

Paris brings back loads of fond memories.. from romance along the Seine to landscapes on bus-sized canvases to the outdoor cafes. Paris is the essence of all things French. Take in the beautiful sunset and its breezy boulevards, impressive monuments, great works of art and magic lights. Savour its gourmet selection of cheese, chocolate, wine and seafood. Feel the wind in your face as you rollerblade through Bastille, or a frisson of fear and pleasure atop the Eiffel Tower.

I love the food in Paris. You can find some pretty good food and cafes .. if you don’t mind the small. The Au Chien Qui Fume that serves great foie gras and smoked salmon, they are all made inhouse. Of course you have to try their oysters and shellfish that you can get all year round.  It was an awesome place to be.. and they didn’t make me speak in French.. that may be because i’m Chinese.
