Rodin creates incredibly beautiful sculptures that show incredible details on the bodies.  The muscles and the veins stand out unbelievably well.  The movement of the bodies of many of his sculptures are so eloquent and curvy.

People can do all of their shopping in one day at the same location which is at Champs-Elysees.  Champs-Elysees is a one-stop shopping area for tourists.  My family and I went to Champs-Elysees for dinner and to hang out. We had dinner at a very nice restaurant that had entrées for reasonably prices FOR CHAMPS-ELYSEES.  […]

This building amuses me.  There are pipes wrapping itself around a rectangular building.  I took an awesome escalator ride through the pipes to the fourth floor where all of the artwork are displayed.  The architecture is just so unusual. I was entering the Pompidou Center, a place that has the National Museum of Modern Art […]

As always, Musée du Louvre is the most confusing museum on the planet.  This museum is so big that I can get lost easily, and I actually did!  I only spent my two hours there exploring the Sully section of the museum which houses mostly paintings from the 17th to 19th century including Dominique Ingres, […]

Don’t expect to hear from me too much in the next few days as the internet at this hotel is EXPENSIVE as hell.  Just wanted to let you all know so that you’re not worried about where I am in the next few days.

When I was creating my itinerant for Paris, I NEVER thought that there would be a big serious event during the days that I’m in Paris.  As my family and I were walking towards Champs-Eylsees, we came across a HUGE vehicle with a huge tower and this machine that lifts a camera man into the […]

Good-byeeeeeeeee to London!  I’m on the train called Eurostar, also known as the Chunnel Train, and I’m heading to Paris.  As I’m leaving London and looking out the window, I see cars on the left side of the roads for the last moment.  I pass by big rectangular boxes with company names on it, big […]

While the volunteer program, Volunteer for Peace, was a huge disappointment as I dreamed to make a difference in a foreign country and instead, I was just simply a Cinderella who was living under the roof of a wicked leader, I still have a meaningful moral of this trip. The first thing that I can […]

My last few days of the trip was a living dream. Since my very first trip to France, I’ve had numerous dreams while sleeping at night about my returning to Bayonne and enjoying all the fun with my friends. Anais and I hooked up Saturday morning and headed to her mom’s workplace to say ‘Bonjour” […]

It was the next day late afternoon, Friday afternoon, and I was sitting in the hotel lobby in tears. I was so exhausted from my farm leader’s arguments and also very upset that volunteer program was unsuccessful, and I was unsure about my plans in Bayonne as everything got messed up. I was supposed to […]
