Catacombes de Paris

I finally finished my dress.. well, I only have to sew a zip on it. So this morning, me and Redza went out to get one in Anvers. I was having the craziest idea, though my feet hurts from all the walking and shopping.. oh, I forgot to mention that I was shopping around Rivoli street. It was super tiring..Anyways, me and Redza went to the Catacombs de Paris. It is one of the historical place in Paris.

Towards the end of the 17th Century, Paris was facing a problem of restricted surface area. There were'nt enough room for expanding enterprises of the living and certainly not enough space for dealing with and storing the dead.

The cemeteries were overflowing and disease from open mass graves, improperly buried corpses, and soil full of decomposing organic matter developed into a situation where the dead overwhelmed the living and were posing serious health risks. It was not just the case of one isolated cemetery, but several, because at that time most of the larger churches of Paris and some hospitals had their own cemeteries.Though this had been going on and getting increasingly worse for nearly a century, the decrees in effect were to no avail and something else needed to be done.

Dear old school mates.. Congrats!

Before yesterday, my old classmate Tu, messeged me on MSN. He invited me and Redza to watch the students graduation's fashion show which was held yesterday, by my old fashion school in Paris. I was so so happy cuz it was so great to see all my ex-teachers and classmates. I had quite a big chat with my favourite teacher, Jenny. A 26 yrs old American girl who works with Anne Valarie Hash and some other companies in Paris. She's one of the coolest teacher I've ever had, well, she's more like a friend than a teacher really. Anyways, I took some pictures of my favourites..

The Birthday continues

Oh thank God! My dress is almost finish, and finally I have the time to write. So, as I was saying, we all went to the Park near the Chateau de Vincennes. The park is really nice, and the flowers are so pretty! When Redza and Lina decided to play mini golf, I was like.. "ya!cool!I'll be just right here if you need me!" hehe. Anyways, I was in the mood to play with the camera, so I managed to take every single monument in the area.

I can't remember exactly what we were laughing about

I love the bell shaped flower

Concerntrating..

The afternoon at the park was good, I had fun, especially the eating part.. haha, and I enjoyed taking pictures too. But the day wasn't over yet for me and Redz. I decided to go to St. Michel Notre Dame, the beautiful place that I used to live in. It holds a lot of memories for us, it was perfect! We had a long walk from St. Michel to St. Germain. Another beautiful place.. sigh.. I am so going to miss 5eme arrandissement!

St. Michel.. full of restaurants and cafes

Our yummy dinner! Well, we had to fry em ourselves, but it was grrreeat!

It was kind of tiring at the end of the day, but it was so worth it :)
