Paris!

The Arc de Triomphe which honors the Napoleon kings was a great sight and it was huge!We had loads of fun taking photo with this structure!
And of couse the Eiffel tower, first impression from faraway was hmmz, greyish N dull tower, until when u r this close, u would realised how remarkable and beautiful it is!
Under the tower...Nice!
With loads of tourist waiting to go up to its 3 different tiers.
Thats the view from up there! View was so spectacular that i wanna be part of it!
Evening shot...
From real far away, this was taken while walking towards the Louvre as we wanted to check it out in the evening and then head back to Eiffel in the night. On the first day there, we actually walk all the way around, easily covering up to 25km around Paris.
At the Louvre during sunset!
Eiffel at night!
Nice...
Twinkling...
Went over to Versaille the next day to visit the Palace of Versailles aka Château de Versailles where King Louis XIV stayed. The whole place is like damn huge with an enormous garden!
Paintings decorated the ceilings and walls.
Check out this statue's sexy pose!
Hahaz...ermz...Paris Lovers.
Somehow, the buildings at Paris all look the same...
Another statue in the Garden of Versailles.
Thats the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, very amazing sight from afar!
I like this statue thingy and was admiring it for a few minutes!
Its also amazing how they have toilets along the roadside with automated doors N all,impressive!
Went back the next day to watch this structure again!
Lourve...
Dragonflies in action...
Sheeps at Paris,hahaz...didn't know i will see them here!
The inside of Notre Dame.
Real nice ya!
Moulin Rouge!
Had dinner just beside Moulin Rouge...
Interesting Pizza in an oval shape.
A pic of it at night, which i think was nicer compared to the one taken in the day.
Thats breakfast at the Perfect Hotel in Paris!Of course it gotta be Baguette, think the french peeps will have very strong teeth by eating it everyday.
Manage to chance upon a huge market that sells everything from fresh produce to shoes and clothes. Cheap also...Got 3 pairs of socks for €1.50 only, thats like about S$1 a pair!
This is the metro station where the market was, its a must go as its somewhere only the locals will know and by their stuffs.
Another nice church around the hotel..
Paris was the place where we took the most photos and seriously 1 or 2 days is never enough for it!
Went up to see the Sacré-Cœur by the funicular. Didn't actually know whats a funicular till i went there, its an inclined cable railway and its amazing how these things works just like the one at HK's the Peak.
The Notre Dame from the front...Beautiful!I love Paris...

Amsterdam XXX!

What better way to intro Amsterdam with thier infamous Red Light District. Red Lights everywhere, where loads of ppl ply their trade which is respectable and recognised over there.
Thats where they sit,dance and attract their customers. Apparently they have to rent that box up room by the day.
and the bed inside...
Here's where Magic Mushrooms are sold, these hallucinogenic mushrooms would make the consumer to hallucinate for up to hours...The owner of our hostel also did explain that those who consume it would go for a trip of their own, just got to be careful with the many canals around,don't sound too exciting to try eh?
And the canal outside the hostel...its nicely done up as the city centre is surrounded by rows of nicely stack canals...machiam like little venice.
Holland!
and since we are there we visited the well known sex museum!See their city flag, coincidentally got XXX also, Heez!
loads of it everywhere...
And their bicycles are everywhere...even up the lampost to prevent theft of bicycles which are quite rampant.
Thats their kind of life...chill under the hot sun, perhaps enjoying their marijuana or magic mushrooms.
Loads of pigeons too...i wonder what would happen if i feed them with magic mushrooms,Heez!
Cute taxis...
And their local fries was damn good!with so many topings to choose from...Yummy!
