Hey littlestThing I've been to paris this year and I loved the orsery museum, I had seen Pictures of Monet's but live they're amazing! The louvre is also great but there's just too much to see yo get a bit overwelmed (I'm a museum geek). The view from the top of the arc d' triumph is mazing (totally worth the stairs)...
I went to Versalles and couln't go to the garden, which looked lovely, becuase of the snow, so take pictures so I can see them lol...
I really just enjoyed walking in paris, boardering the Sena river or in Champs Elysee avenue!
(Oh just remembered if you have an european passaport you do almost everything free... All the museums, and atractions ;) ( in Italy I had to pay to go to church, but I saved a lot of money with these free pases)

Here it's cold so all I wanna do is watch TV and eat chocolate haha!

No middle name!
Hey Dennise

Hello :)

Paris was awesome! It does have a special charm... We stayed near the Sacre Coeur, which is not exactly the city centre, but it was still really easy to get anywhere with a metro in like 25 minutes. We went on a Paris Walk three times, which was reall interesting - to not just aimlessly wonder wonder around but actually find out some interesting facts.

We did not go on top of the Eiffel tower :( It was a 2 hour wait, because only one entrance was open since a guy committed a suicide the previous night...

As far as museums, we went to the Louvre. We came there at 9.05, which was perfect, no waiting in line, however, at about 10 it started raining... Everyone decided to go to the museums! At the end we saw the Australia, oceania, africa (not sure in what order) exhibit, which was my favourite one. We also went to musee d'Orsay, which was more fun for me and to Musee l'Orangerie, which was the most interesting, because those Water lilies really fascinate me!

The best however was Tim BUrton Exhibit at the Cinematheque! I didn't even know it was in Paris until I saw a poster. It's so interesting and funny and there are his highschool notes and a letter to Johnny Depp and his films and cartoons are playing. YOu should really go see it if you get the chance!

I started work today!

I don't have a middle name either, it would be fun though.

I hope you get on Skype soon...

Katja, your trip does sound awesome! When I go there, I usually just walk and soak the city in.
Oh! My aunt told me about the Burton exhibit, it looks extraordinary, I wish I'd have seen it :)
How is your work going?

I don't only have one middle name, but two, actually (Denise and Sylvie, respectively my Grandmother and my Godmother)


Hi Smithsd7 :) I don't think we've 'met' before, where are you from?

I'm so sorry that I had to decline yoyur call today :'( Did you get my message? I'm usually available in the afternoon, up until 8 in the evening... Then my mom comes and I have to spend quality time with her :D

Work went really well. I just did the hotel one. I was paid okay and we got two free meals (self service 4 star hotel breakfast + restaurant lunch).
I'm back at school now though, and I was in Croatia too. It was pretty great, looks like I'll be getting at least one cousin if not two, by next summer!!

I'm back at school now :) First day today, and we already had an hour and a half of homework... And I already barely convinced myself to do it!

Hi smithsd7 :)

I wonder if SArah and Raquel are still around, I just recently got into tennis and was hoping to talk to her about it :lol:

How have you been? :)
