... or just welcoming them into their insane world. It’s a sort of mad-hatter’s tea party where questions aren’t answered, they’re reformulated and spat back at you; where the real becomes show-reel, and where daily work might include painstaking hours of painting a mannequin’s buttocks.
But how are these sculptors, stylists, photographers, painters and performers coping with newfound legitimisation? No longer marginalized, they’ve been thrust ...
... those desserts, time to burn them off! The Arc de Triomphe was a good start anyway! Shane and I climbed the 284 stairs inside to reach the top. It was mighty hot inside that stairwell!
View of the city from the top of the Arc de Triomphe.
And...back down we go....

... for the Easter holiday. We purchased a Metro day pass (5.50 Euros) and started our day with a short ride on the Metro to the neighborhood of Barbes for a visit to Montmatre to see the Sacre Coeur Basilique. Why do Catholics make you climb so many stairs to reach the cathedral? Is this supposed to represent the climb to heaven? Or maybe it gives ...
Paris, Île-de-France, France globetrotters... off and walked around to see most of the major fountains. I can only imagine what this place would look like in the summer in full bloom, but it looks like those memories will have to come another day. We plan to try and return in the summer months, even if it's stopping for a day on the way to somewhere else, because it would be an amazing sight and defiantly worth coming back for. We made the best of it however and wandered around ...
Paris, Île-de-France, France devinwatsonBonjour tous, So I finally got some sleep yesterday afternoon and awoke around suppertime and met 2 other Canadian girls that were sleeping in my room. Sisters from Toronto who had just spent one year working and travelling around the world. Yesterday was their last day and they were leaving for Toronto this morning. Super nice and we ate supper together downstairs in the adjacent bar/pub at our hostel. It got dark quickly last night and so I decided just ...
Paris, Île-de-France, France sunmoonstarz... of the smaller designers (by Paris standards) of the Jewish Quarter, even finding a discount shop where shirts were only around 150 EUR (we didn't buy any) We saw where some of the elite used to live, and then we headed up the more bourgeoisie Boulevard de Magenta from the Place do la Republique up to Montmarte. We saw the church of St. Vincent de Paul and then headed up up up to Sacre' Coeur. Wow, I forgot how impressive it was and HATED ...
Paris, France safetyinnumbers... the magnificent view of the city from its steps. This was after all the second highest point in Paris after the Eiffel Tower. Now the steps of the Sacre Couer was the place to be after dark here in Montmarte. Lots of locals as well as other backpackers come here to take in the view, mingle, get wasted/stoned, as well as impromptu performances by random musicians. Sort of like a big open mic night. That night there was someone playing the bongoes ...

Paris, France mjpileggi... which I did not expect and this kept me from having to run to the market right away! After unpacking a few things I took a nice walk to look around my neighborhood. The St. Germain des pres area is very charming area and while my street is very central, it is quiet in front of my apt. After my walk I went back to my apartment and took my usual nap of about 1 1/2 hours. This seems to be my best routine after trying different things (not taking a nap ...
Paris, France waytogogirl... the flying Dumbo ride either, still too cool I guess haha. Bought myself a few souvenirs and made my way because the park was closing. Got back and Celine was here, I went out and had dinner as she already had, came back did nothing exciting and went to bed because I was shattered (exhausted). Today I had intended on going to the Eiffel Tower and a Museum or two but when I grabbed my iPod to turn it on found out all my music has disappeared, yes all 775 songs, gone, so I'm ****** off and ...
