Sunday @ Paris : Marche Bastille

06:11

As of now, I have settled down and lived in Paris for 2 weeks. Finally, I have some time to explore this beautiful city. While unlike in Australia or other Asian countries, on Sunday, most shops in Europe are closed except major tourist attractions such as the Louvre. Hence, it was quite a cultural shock when I first...

Or to quote: ‘It’s never goodbye, only see you later.’ We just wanted to say a huge thanks to all your generosity! We are sure to put the cash (lol, so practical!) and our gifts into...
