Paris Apartment

My service apartment in Paris is in their CBD area and is quite a cosy little place.
This is my living room.














My kitchen is quite self sufficient complete with fridge, dish-washer, stove, kettle, coffee maker and all sorts of crockery and cutlery.
It will be nice to cook when Shutterbug is here!


















The bathroom with a tub as well.


















My bedroom.
Since I am staying alone they gave me a double bed.














The view outside my bedroom. Its always clear weather everyday.













Guess the bad thing about staying alone is about the safety issue cos I have a break in just 2 days ago when I was alone in the room. The guy tried to knock on my door but when I ignored him guess he thought that there was no one in the room. About 10 mins later, I heard my windows being opened when I already lock it! When I went to check, he tried to come in but upon seeing me he actually mumbled something before going away.
Well, thank God that nothing happened. My parents and Shutterbug are pretty worried and came up with all sorts of measures to ensure that such thing will not happen again.
Nevertheless, this episode has taught me to be more vigilant and more prepared in case anything else occur again.
I miss home!

Paris Part 1

Managed to downsize my photos, hence can post it on the net finally!
Was treated to a sumptuous dinner at Crystal Jade at the airport by Shutterbug cos he is so afraid that I won't get good chinese food in Paris. Wanted to order the Peking duck but was sold out. Oh well, can always eat it when I am back ha ha!
Posing a bit awkwardly for me!
Paris airport was not as chic as I thought it would be! Rather it resembles a half constructed building. We took the tube like escalators to collect my luggage. The only futuristic looking thing.
Waiting for our luggage took ages. Tink we waited close to 1-2 hrs. My colleague's box of maggie mee was found to be still in Singapore Changi airport though. In the end he had to file a report. Although they promised to send to our service apartment in Paris, it never came.
Was tired after a 13 hrs flight and we went straight to the apartment.
