Trip to Paris

To be fair Paris was a bit of a spontaneous venture--I purchased tickets a mere seven days prior to my departure. In the end, my three friends and I hopped a flight to the city of love for five days of unabashed tourism. We ate French, Japanese, Chinese, Turkish and supermarket food; walked the entire city of Paris in a span of six hours; helped a lost Malaysian woman find her way to her hotel; learned a bit of French; and somehow managed to avoid being robbed, cheated, or beaten (that we know of). Anyway, below is the photo diary:


 Notre Dame 





The Lock Bridge--where one can purchase, write on, and leave behind a lock to symbolize an everlasting romantic relationship, friendship, etc.
