Romantic city, chic city...

I prefer walking to my class although it takes 30 to 40 minutes. If I take the commuter (Metro), I can reach my school in 15-20 minutes. Metro ticket in Paris is a flat rate of 1.60 Euro, immaterial of how many stations you travel as long as it's within the same zone. But walking the streets of Paris is one of the best things to do as an outsider. I prefer to enjoy the view instead of transferring through the dark tunnels from train to train. Lucky thing, there is more than one route to my class, so I get to explore different nooks of Paris everyday.

Yeah, purple is the most favourite colour this summer, and Converse sneakers is Parisian favourite. I bought this purple bermudas at the Galleries La Fayette, just a few blocks from the Place Vendome Ritz Hotel, where Princess Diana spent her last evening before she died.

This is one of my favourite flower shops. They change the deco of the shop facade everyday, and I just had to stop by this shop to take the fresh smell aaa~~~~.

With a few of my classmates crossing the streets of Champs Elysees... we went to book our bicycle excursion after class yesterday. We were to make a cycling trip to the grounds of Versailles! Will write about the cycling trip to Versailles in the next entry. * This picture was taken on En Arip's 12 MP HD Cam, on wide screen setting. Not bad!

Champs Elysees, Paris

After my painting class yesterday, I headed for Ave. des Champs Elysees, the most happening shopping strip in Paris. En Arip waited me at the Arc De Triomphe (the huge gerbang) at the end of Champs Elysees. En Arip is also here for a week or so...

I had a great time having tea on the Ave. des Champs Elysees! Will update about it later. I'm forever rushing here and there these few days!

After searching for 15 minutes near the Arc de Triomphe, finally, there he was!

They said Laduree's macaron is the best in the world! Yeah damn yummy, and they still exist, since 1862


I'll blog more about Arc De Triomphe, Laduree and the Ave. des Champs Elysees soon!

Anyway, all pictures below were taken by En Arip through

Durian Frappucino and Chicken Story

Phatnfierce.com

Our hotel was just a 15-minute walk to Rumah Mode. I preferred to walk there instead of taking a taxi, so that I get to experience this Indonesian neighbourhood at street level...

Phatnfierce.com

This jamu store-owner said Indonesian youngsters nowadays are not taking jamu like they used to, during her teenage years...

Phatnfierce.com

We finally reached Rumah Mode, and grabbed anything which looked nice. Who said guys don't know how to shop? :P... but of everything there, I really luv this cafe setup at Rumah Mode...

Phatnfierce.com

The most satisfying item of the day was the Java Bean's Durian Frappucino... OMG! The taste was heavenly delicious!

Phatnfierce.com

If Durian Frappuccino was our favourite drink in Bandung, their fast food restaurant - Chicken Story was our favourite food besides other authentic local dishes. The BBQ chicken was simply amazing! Guna ayam kampung plak tu...
