Overseas Trip Part 2

 Graffiti in Luxembourg, the Latin Quarter suburb in Paris




Still not sure what "Pub Gay Lussac" actually means.

Wonderful old apartment I walked past. It really does feel like you're in some kind of movie. All the cliches -  even men carrying baguettes under their arms...


Well why not?

View from the apartment I stayed in.


Oh, just a teenager hanging out in a funky hole in the wall.

Picture perfect. Two beautiful sisters I met.

Ornate front door of the apartment

Explored the Louvre!

The queue. But it was still worth it, believe me. (Only if you like museums and history though).

It's huge. This is only one section of it.

Just to see the scale of some of the things in the museum. EPIC.

And this is just the ceiling!

Mona Lisa - not worth it really. It's actually a miniscule painting and there will always be hordes of people in front of it.

European style

My First Overseas Trip

I spent a wonderful week in London in Paris in May this year. It was truly a life-changing experience for me and I saw things I'll never forget. I took some major touristy pics, but can you blame me?

Burger King at Dubai Airport



Our street in Earl's Court
Contrast between old brick houses and modern building

Earl's Court Tube Station

Earl's Court High Street (basically every area has a Main Road which the Brits call a High Street).

Leicester Square



Getting used the the Tube rules of keeping right. People in a rush take the left!

Got to attend this exhibition a few days later ;)

Oxford Street

More to come...
