After breakfast went Galeries Lafayette to wait for it to open lolxx...
It's a beautiful mall, most of them rushed to LV. I was done after buying Hermes perfume.
A giant Xmas tree in the air.
The entire mall only had one public toilet located at the top most floor. It had many cubicles, that had red light = occupied, green light = empty.
This was the tax refund center and there were chinese speaking crews to assist.
The roof top of Galeries Lafayette had a gorgeous view of Paris, could even see Eiffel Tower that's far away.
It was at this point that I realised Paris doesn't have any high rise building.
Little Eiffel, so cute and pretty.
Did what normal tourists would do, Je T'aime.
We had lunch at a random cafe nearby.
Prawn salad with avocado.
I had cappuccino, PapaVoo had tea.
Roast chicken leg.
Pepperoni pizza.
Total damage €44.
Old man's smoke break after meal.
Comfortable weather.
Random pics of Paris.
We were looking for limited edition gliders, no luck.
Inside Adidas.
This was another mall, I went into Naf Naf, this fashion brand was no longer in Singapore. I saw a pink trench coat which I liked but no size, it was only SGD60, I wanna cry.
I bought my niece a bracelet.
Arrived at Paris airport early.
Upgrade to biz class at the counter, was still quoted USD1700 for the first leg to Dubai. We took it this time as it was Emirates A380. I knew it wasn't the best deal, but I didn't want to miss this opportunity, we don't fly that often.
Walked pass only.
The upgrade didn't come with lounge access, there wasn't any priority boarding either.
Huge double deck boi. Weeeeeeeee.........
I wanted to experience this so much, so thankful to PapaVoo who forked out his fortune lolxx...
EMIRATES A380 BUSINESS CLASS, gawd damn it!
It's probably our first and last, we can't be splurging like all the time.
It was old man's first biz class flight while I had mine with Etihad to-and-fro Abu Dhabi and Singapore.
为生活，为旅行，干杯！
Sibei happy.
There was a ipad which we were too tired to use and the mini bar was an amazing feature.
Nice headphones.
Bvlgari amenities kit for gents.
For ladies.
Old man fell asleep as soon as the flight took off. People always talked about the service, the food, big space, but people never mentioned these minor points which made a big difference:
1) air quality, more oxygen, less dry compared to economy, cos less people is sharing the space;
2) you don't have to sit 90 degrees upright during take off, that how PapaVoo fell asleep at a comfortable angle.
After the champagne came this really nice mint/lime mocktail.
Potato & leek cream soup.
Monk fish with cous cous I think.
Didn't take pic of old man's food, these were our desserts.
After the meal we took a stroll to the lounge.
The whole cabin was quiet with soft snores till the the pilot gave an abrupt announcement. Wrong move, cos everybody started to look for food, especially those who didn't take the meal service earlier. The crews were running like headless chickens.
The few hours of deep sleep on biz class literally saved our lives. Dubai to Singapore flight was "banished back to cattle class".
Food was good although no more luxurious space.
Thank god for the safe flights.
Back home on 8 Dec, we had ba chor mee at 11.30pm at our neighbourhood coffee shop.
Bought this key chain for Ber (my son's ex).
Bvlgari ladies, show you all what's inside. I had 2, gave my kid sis one.
My hubby's, let my sons bring to Japan, heehee...
Brought back a ton to tea/coffee from all the hotels lolxx...
This was FOC from Switzerland.
And a mountain of laundry.
About a week later, received Longchamp Eiffel Tower print limited edition from Boss Joe and Wang Lei as birthday gift.
I completed my Europe posts muaaahaahaaahaa.... great achievement! I can go to Japan in peace liao.
So the Japan trip will be from 18 Mar to 12 Apr, most likely I'll do 26 daily posts. Will be taking a break till then. Meanwhile will still have updates at www.ordinaryauntie.blogspot.com.
Big thank you to all of you! Muacks!
