2nd Day in Paris (Part 1)

Been really a long time since Marpig went to Paris... cant rem the details cos covered quite a bit!! Itz really nice walking and relaxing along the River Seine... dont mind going again!! But this time, will definitely go with the right kind of pple!! :D

Anyh, the 2nd dae was great!! Well, need to welcome each dae with a smile!! Although it is grey and freezing cold outside!! Marpig don really care!!So, (not in order and not everywhere) Marpig went to the Pompidou Centre!! Itz funny bcos pple tend to noe the Eiffel Tower, River Seine, Hotel de Ville, etc but actually Pompidou Centre is quite famous in Paris!! Just tt not every tourist would be interested!! Well, guess itz 职业 病? :D May be Dingko Nut will appreciate the xcitment? ahahahhahahahahaUnique th bout Pompidou Centre is tt all the M&E svcs are external!! The pipeworks, cables, ductworks are all outside and are actually the buildingz facade!!See the lift shafts!!Ha!! Don even need to have risers!! Normally we use blue for clean air xtract (rooms) while the green ones are dirty xtracts like toilets.
Anyw, after Pompidou, Marpig went to Hotel de Ville and there was a building bside it but sharks, Marpig couldnt rem!! Guess itz a parliament hse or smth... It said, "Liberte, Ecalite Fraternite" Guess itz liberty, equality and smth else :PTherez quite alot of carving and Marpig just couldnt resist taking photos!! Wah~~ didnt noe a little boy peeing can also be an artistic photo!! hahahhahaha Anyw, therez tons of nakedness ard Paris... hmmm quite open-minded :PWomen power!! Who said women cannot be intelligent ? There was also a carousel and an ice rink in front!! Ah~~~ if Marpig is with smth else whoz more interesting, she would really go on the carousel just like these happy adults!! :D

Coming next!! The LOUVRE (pronounced, "looff" not the usual English, "loo-ver")

The entire place itself is already a masterpiece(?) and an art. 1st, the place is HUGE!!

... ... Think bcos of the number of photos Marpig took in The Louvre, guess it deserve an entry by itself!!
