Loot!

This one is J's.
It's impossible to find a beard trimmer in Singapore, much less a good one. We were delighted to find this in Selfridges and gladly paid 30 pounds for it.

Ecco shoes from Cambridge
Very comfy and the price was slashed from 75 to 37.50 pounds. Yeah!

Guide books!
For someone with poor memory, these are a necessity. :)

I've been eyeing this for some time. I love its big pink face! Got it in Switzerland for about $20 less. Pleased as a peach! :)

In Paris

We stayed in a budget hotel recommended by the French husband of a friend of mine. It was small but clean and very quaint. :)

The Louvre was all I wanted to see so we spent a whole day there!

Mona Lisa!
This was how far we had to stand away from it.

The painting is behind 2 glass casings and there were tons of security guards standing around.

I like this!
It made a young teenage boy giggle and his mom was so tickled, she told him to take a picture of it like I did.

This is my favourite sculpture.
She has a look of agony because she's been bitten by a scorpion. Tucked in a corner in front of a window and her back facing the visitors, she looks forgotten.
