Day 6.

Bonjour Madames et Messieurs!!


Perry et Estella blogging from the romantic city of Paris. It's the 6th day and we feel like a part of this amazing city of arts, culture and beautiful people. Morning began at 8.30. Both of us getting sick of the everyday baguette-cornflakes combo; we had cup noodles instead. Yum!

After breakfast, we made our way to Thomas Mann College to visit our amie again. We were a tad early so we had the chance to spend some time at Decathlon, a local sports shop. Almost everything was less expensive than the sports apparel in Singapore, probably because they're produced locally. The sports shop was 2 floors and packed with specialized equipments of many sports you can think of (Boxing, Rugby, Golf, Diving, Fishing. Skiing and even Ballet). Chris and Amos' jaw dropped. After only 30 minutes of shopping, our (mostly Chris and Amos) hands were loaded with Decathlon bags. Beat that Queensway!





There was a slight drizzle so we had to run to the school. Anglais (English) lessons started promptly and we joined in the mad rush to get to classrooms. The French students shared their culture with us through an interactive presentation and we followed up with a presentation about our Singaporean culture and life in CJC. After which we had a mini bonding session with some drinks that the students brought. We also presented our YOG mascots, Merly and Lyo, to the director of the school and a collar pin to every student in the English class.



We had our Lunch at Thomas Mann College before we made our way to a famous engineering University of Paris, MINES ParisTech. Where we were given a talk about the University and a tour around the campus. Guess what? The university has a Museum too! As the University started in the 1700s for miners (Hence the name MINES), they have a huge collection of rocks and crystals. Geo students will definitely be blown away by the familiar terms like quartz, feldspar and dolomite.


Lastly we went to Hard Rock Cafe Paris for a while. Some of us went shopping while others went, cabaret-style, to find crepe instead. Thank Goodness we had Kat to ask for directions and actually understand them when they were given (Both of us only knew how to ask, but when they answer we just go.....haha). In the end though we did not find our most desired crepe:( Just a side note, anyone considering France as their next travel destination, especially girls, go in January, the discounts are fabulous!!


Dinner was at another Chinese restaurant, with pleasant Chinese food. Thats about all for today, so Au Re'Voir and have a blessed day=D


Till next time A bientot, moi amies.
