Paris, je t'aime (Part 2)

Ok so after spending a couple of days sight-seeing, partying and looking around Paris, its time to shop!!. So we woke up early in the morning and head to Cimetiere Pere Lachaise where we found Oscar Wilde and Chopin's place. I know its a little hoohah to go to a cemetery on the first day of Chinese New Year, but u know some people believe that the cemetery is actually a holy cleansing place, I feel cleansed!!


The tombstone of Oscar Wilde, go catch the movie if u havent. All the red marks are lipstick marks left behind by his fans
The tombstone of Frederic Chopin, for the piano lovers like myself. Maybe he will show me some divine inspiration in playing his pieces lol

After which, I started a long walk from the Garden Tuileries towards Champs-Elysee. Oh we were at Tuileries because there is a super cool shop called Coulette there that sells all the limited edition goods around the world. I bought a pair of Starck's shoe laces that were really nice!
Pretty sights and architecture en route to Champs Elysee

Its Louis Vuitton time in Paris! This is the biggest LV in the world if i'm not wrong which has just opened recently. Here unlike that of Singapore, u get served like a King. U can even request for drinks and just tell them the bag designs u want and they'll bring it to u in a giffy. Fantastique! And i met some Singaporeans here also shopping for LV haha the accent was unmistakable, think her name was June. Cool person who bought at least 5 LV bags haha.
Crazy shopping at Champs-Elysee, Alright so i've got LV, my aunt's Fendi and Lacoste and Gstar n Celio and ........
The famous night scene of Champs-Elysee. Took this picture in the middle of the huge road, scary!

Ray, Sarah and I at a wonderful FRUITTY restaurant (every dish they serve has some fruit theme to it)

Sarah and I enjoying our (Fish coconut rice and Chicken pineapple riceeeee)
The super Cool Ray who loves Wong Kar Wai movies. He's Shawn friend in fact and it was gre8 that he was willing to put us up for our trip in Paris. He works at HERMES ok dont play play. And he stayed at the top floor of some building which had a panoramic view of Paris and u can even see the light from le Tour Eiffel!
