Paris - First Impressions

One Word - Fabulous.

Its 7:30 in the morning and the sun still hasn’t risen, I think it might due to the fact that the sun set at 8 last night. The whole place is like a scene from a movie. I’ve seen more exotic bikes today than the past 16 years. The buildings are great. The people I’ve met so far are friendly and kind. I’ve been taking pictures like there’s no tomorrow and successfully took the 20,000 th picture with my new camera.

I also went to this shop called ‘FNAC’ today which is practically my dream come true. Every single gadget you can ever dream of is available there. I saw the Playstation 3 is all its shiny glory sitting pretty with a price tag of 600 Euros. I couldnt wait to get my hands on the Wii but much to my despair, the store manager informed me that I would have to place an order for a Wii and it might take anywhere between a week to a fortnight to be delivered. I just hope that its available at some other shop.

And here are some pictures just as I promised, click the thumbnails for full size images.
