OK, I am back in Paris. A different hotel, Renaissance, definitely a lot better. Officially, each night cost FF1,850. Bedroom, Study Room, Small Living Room, Toilet and Bathroom. I am very satisfied with what I have.
I am really glad that I can connect to Lotus Notes via the digital phone line. As I have always said, actively pursue what I want, I managed to get the cable from the Hotel.
Something called a King Pie (or something like that), one feet in diameter. Inside each pie, there is a “charm” (feve in French). Whoever get it will have to wear a crown on their head. A very interesting culture. Today, there was a gathering on pie eating. With all the French, it was also boring as they never even put an effort in speaking English to me.
Went down to Virgin Store and everything seemed the same. Gala’s “Freed from Desire” is still number one. Kind of a very funny experience. Not much difference as compare to 3 weeks ago. Even the songs in M6 are the same.

Wil- French ppl always very proud one huh.. Someone once told me before that in order to get the French to speak English, you just speak Chinese to them. Speak English to them and they will ignore you.. haha..
Any way, i was also thinking of picking french up. Seeing how you always have fun during your Spanish classes, btw did you pass your Spanish Exam?
Ng – Wow … what an old post of mine that josts my fond memory of Paris. I guess I have to thank you for that.
You know what? The timestamp should be 1997 instead of 2007. I must have made the mistake when I manually migrated entry-to-entry from my “old site” to this new one.
As for the Spanish exam (thanks for asking!), we didn’t have exam today as we thought it would. And it will take place next Jan!
