both airin and i woke up extremely early today. we will have half a day by ourselves around paris before joining my bro,sis and mom to montmartre. we decided we will visit lourve for afew hours before going around palais royal and tuileries before meeting up for lunch in angelina. by the time we reached lourve (and that's very early and extremely cold, we saw a long queue already formed in front of the entrance to lourve and getting longer and longer. due to my kiasu-ness, i went to queue without taking any pictures of the surrounding early in the morning. we queue for almost an hour before able to go into the museum.. frankly speaking, i think most of the tourists, especially from asia such as china and japan come here just to see monalisa.. and to be frank, i m in the same category as well...but, at the end, i think we definitely see more paintings and sculptures than just monalisa..i just love the paintings and the sculptures on the siling all over lourve...love it..and the painting that both of us love very much is the crowning of napolean as the king of france...too bad we only have two hours to spend in lourve...but, we don't intend to enter lourve again the next time we visit paris..both of us have no interest in paintings and sculptures.

lunch in angelinaafter lunch, we went to montmartre, a red district in paris where moulin rouge comes from...well, it's a nice and mysterious place i can say..every corner, place and building has it own story to be told to those who is curious..our tour guide for this tour was jacqueline.. funny and witty, she knows alot about this area and totally enlighten us with stories, informations and jokes..it makes me wonder weather it really takes a person to be funny, witty and happy to be a tour guide..hmm..anyway,here are some of the pictures that we took during our tour in montmartre...

a small garden in montmartre. in the middle of this garden is a statue of a priest holding his severed head
notice the breast part different in colour? it's because alot of passerby keep touching this part
a small bar where picasso used to hang out before he was famous
