This will be mostly pictures because i am rushing to Germany for 2 weeks and I know my sisters will kill me if i make them wait so long to see their pictures. :D I miss them already...
BARCELONA ( part of it... the other pics are with them)
Sagrada Familia - Gaudi spent 40 years on that piece of art before he was killed by a tram car. Very sad...
Another Gaudi's work, Park Guell.
The lizard, by the way, is damn small. And the houses, according to my da-jie-fu, look like Hansel and Gretel's house. With my da-jie as company (she majored in Arts), Barcelona turned out to be less of a shopping trip and more like the chase after Gaudi's works. Fine by me, but my er-jie nearly had to have her stomach washed. Or so she says.
All in all, they really enjoyed Barcelona and I'm so glad we had such a good view of Barce from Park Guell. Lesson learnt: Do not go to the Olympics Village and stay faithful to the Gaudi trail... :D
PS: Outside the restaurant La Quinze Nity (damn good Spanish restaurant) at Place Reial, is Calvin Clown. Who entertained me and my er-jie throughout the half hour queue. He is SO FUNNY. "na ne ne ne ne phey phey" he whistles, each time he makes a stunt. :D
PARIS
This is Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, La Defense and us on board the BATOBUS, which brings us throughout Paris' most famous sights for a very cheap price. Esp good when the French think all asians look alike and my sister could get in with student's price as well. EVEN THOUGH they prob graduated 10 years ago... HAHA...
NICE
Beautiful coast line, pebble beaches, top naked women sun worshipping, paranomic view at the Chateau, Cours Seleya for fresh flowers and produce, Promenade Anglais and the very very yummy Pasta Bastas along Rue de la Prefecture.
I think that Nice was the nicest among the few towns i visited along the Cote D'azur... And of all, it was the most organised and I had the most relaxing feeling there when I sun bathed by the beach... Thanks to my family who had to endure the sun (when women get older, they absolutely refuse to suntan.. freckles fear etc...only applies to singaporeans, cos the old ladies there were naked):P
On to MONACO...
The Land of the SUPER Rich. Quotes a sentence from a friend's friend's blog that i just read. Even the Singaporean's Richest may qualify for their welfare system. Known for Princess Grace (Actress Grace Kelly) and if you read the tabloids, her scandalous daughter Princess Carolina, F1 races, yachts, Casino Monte Carlo. We basically just stationed ourselves outside the casino and people watched. Beautiful young women and old men in antique cars, and lots of other damn chio cars which sadly, i dont have the names for. Luckily, my sisters redeemed our poor sad sorry looks by buying alot of stuff from Gucci. 3 cheers to working women and their husbands' credit cards!
CANNES
Was it glitzy? Nope. Worth going? Nope. Saw any celebrities? Nope.
Although i can proudly say i saw the Cannes fest's CHAIRS. Yep, they were preparing for the big show in 2 weeks time. Rosh, are you sure u wanna go?

Went to Grasse for their perfume tour and I love it! The sales lady was really nice and we had a free guided tour, after which we strained our noses for 1 whole hour looking for nice fragrances. Finally i can start to smell nice after my perfume spilled on my flight to France... :P
Ok, this is the end of our 2 week family trip. -pats on my own head- for a job well done in organising this trip for my family. And many thanks to my sisters who paid for my expenses, even though it meant that they had to go on budget and burst their spending limits. i love you!
Next stop: Berlin, Munich, Prague, Budapest, Vienna, Salzburg. -yawnnnnn-
