15/July/2008  Pontoise

本來是要去奧維城堡, 跟Acasia弄的太晚, 暑假車輛很少, 沒想到下一班要等快一小時, 在轉車點意外的發現這個小鄉鎮, 我們到處拍照, 去旅遊諮詢處, 才知道這城市是一個畫家Pissaro的故鄉, 很多名畫的取景點都在這條河岸旁, 如梵谷....等 - - We planed  to visit Chateau d' Auvers-sur-Oise, because of meeting with Acasia Brown ,we were late and couldn't catch the train on time, and the next one was almost one hour later!!!!! = ="    We happened to find this small town called "Pontoise". In the tourist information center, we found here was camile passaro's hometown. Many famouse painters, such as Van Gogh, came to this town to get the inspiration and draw the scenery along the river.   http://www.otpontoise.fr/

17/July/2008  聖心堂 - Basilique du Sacré-Cœur

這裡是我最常來的觀光景點,因為"布市"在這裡,遊客好多..眼花撩亂@_@ -- I come to this scenic spot very often because the fabric market is here....too many tourist.....made me dazzle....

17/July/2008  蒙梭公園 - Parc de Monceau

當然有先去超市補甜食, 不然我倆一定會餓到發瘋!!! 在吃洋芋片時, 我隨手亂丟給麻雀吃, 他們整群飛過來, 貼的我們好近, 每一隻都在卡吱的卡吱的吃洋芋片,真的很可愛~~  -- Of course we did pass by supermarket to get sweets; otherwise, we would starve to death!!  when we were eating chips, I fed  the quarrels. They all flocked to us and sounded "ka-ts ka-ts" while they were eating. They were really cute ~

20/July/2008  凡聖城堡 - Château de Vincennes

主日下午,跟Francoise一家人(Ricky nad Ramon)來了凡聖城堡參觀,小兒子Remon很可愛,是我的專屬攝影師,一直跟在我後面拍我....--After Lord's table, We visited Chateau de Vincennt with Francoise and her two sons, Ricky and Raymond. Raymond was really really cute. He was like my personal photographer and followed me to take many pictures.

22/July/2008  Ile St-Germain

總算是來到馬蒂斯的"Allee"前面好好的看一下, 我們來了三次了, 第一次每找到, 第二次整個島給他關門, 沒想到這個公園很大, 中間有生態保護區, 後半段則是慢跑區, 裡面還有幾個不錯的藝術品跟展覽...Finally we got to see Matisse's "Allee" in detail; we've been trying to come here for three attempts! The first time we couldn't find it, and the park was closed during our second visit. We didn't realise how large the park was, with a conservation area in the centre, jogging trails in the back, and several nice artworks and exhibits.

23/July/2008  Château de Chamarande 

我倆去的都是不受歡迎的旅遊觀光路線,先是到站時沒人跟著我們下車,然後根本找不到城堡指標,我只好對著對面的不友善老伯大喊問他在哪 = =",整個小鎮沒有一個超市,只有一家可麗餅餐廳,偏僻!!偏僻!! 城堡已經改成這個地區藝術展覽館,所以公園跟主堡都是免費的,公園開到8點.... 對很會拖拉晚出門的人很好!!哈.. The locations we visited were unpopular among tourists. Not only were we the only people to get off the RERC at the station, we could not find any sign pointing to the castle and had to shout across the street to an unfriendly old man for directions =  =" The town had no supermarket-it only had a creperie. Such a remote place! The castle has become the exhibit centre for local artworks, so entrance to both the park and the main castle was free. The park opened until 8pm, which was good news to people like us who drag their feet before the trip. lol....

24/July/2008  Maison de Chateaubriand (with Little Mimi)

今天決定不化妝帶小bebe咪咪出門,半路上誤闖私人豪宅,兩個人裝沒事的從前門出去,兩個亞洲人最好是沒被看到,到了Maison de Chateaubriand 一個工友問我說我抱的是皮卡丘嗎? ㄟ...@_@皮卡丘是粉紅色的嗎?? 另一個小姐說,昨天他們在中國城看到很多店裡都在賣,有躺的,坐的各種姿勢,我正在耐悶,我家Comomo在法國有那麼紅嗎? 我反應過來!!他們在說"Hello Kitty"," 咪咪來...轉身給他們看喔!!妳是小熊熊,尾巴是圓的,貓才不是這樣勒 "....遇到一個法國老媽媽.看到我抱咪咪,說他她掉了一隻貓,整個家人都很難過, 還給我一張照片, 請我幫她找貓.... Decided not to wear make-up and brought Mimi with us. By accident we went into a private property.We pretended nothing happened and got out from the front door....though obviously we were very noticable because two Asians....lol... In the Maison de Chateaubriand, a worker asked me if Mimi was a Pikachu?... Did he think the colour of Pikachu is pink?? then another lady said they saw a lot MiMi with different gestures in Chinatownyesterday...what the hell.....I was wondering if Comomo so famous in France....then I realised they actually were talking about Hello Kitty! Come on Mimi, turn your back. You have a round tail because you are a bear. Cat's doesn't look like yours. Later on we met an old French lady. When she saw me holding Mimi, she told us she lost her cat and all her family were very sad. She even showed me the photo and asked us to help her look for the cat.........right =  ="....

25/July/2008  Blending with Saints

帶岳師母去吃了大花冰,在附近的Niki噴水公園讀了以弗所書生命讀經,到了Francoise家已經七點多,Sam跟Titus也是珊姍來遲,大家聊了很多,Titus用沒有口音的中文分享他在台灣那一年半的一些經驗,他中文真的好到爆炸,還會成語,美國黑人弟兄!!厲害!! We took Sister Judy Yue to a spcial ice cream shop. When they put ice cream on the cone, they make it as a flower!  After that we read Life-Study of Ephisians together in the Niki Park. so when we got to Francoise's place for dinner it was already 7 pm.....Sam and Titus were late as well. We talked a lot and Titus shared his one-and-half-year's experience in Taiwan with his perfect Chinese. His Chinese is amazing, and he knows lots of Chinese idioms...It's unbelievable he is an American African!

26/July/2008  Damien Moura Delort's Stag Do

2006年在幫Michael Sun工作時認識了Damien,他當時是一家皮包製造工廠的負責人,在這之前在LV任職了幾年,年紀相仿使我們很有話聊,當時他也幫我介紹了許多賣皮工廠,配件...等等,2007年巴黎景氣差,法國人工貴,許多大公司轉移到大陸去生產,Damien的公司宣布關門,後來就搬到倫敦與他的女友同居,生了一個小女孩之後決定結婚,他的好朋友決定在巴黎幫他舉行一個stag do,我接到邀請電話時,當時不知道什麼是stag do,我拉了Laura陪我去,到了看見一票男人,才知道是告別單身派對,當時很尷尬...我不知道我們為什麼被邀請....又不是男的...吼...哈哈.... I knew Damien when I worked for Michael Sun in 2006. He was in charge of a handbag-making company, and worked for LV for several years. We had many in common because of being at the same age and he also introduced me many fabric and accessories factories.  In 2007, Paris faced the economical recession, along with the labour cost is much cheaper in China, many big maison transferred their manufactories to China. The company Damien was working for closed at that time so he moved to London to live with his girl friend...Lisa. Later on they got a girl and decided to get married. His friends had a "stag do" for him and he invited me to come. When I was talking to him on the phone, I didn't know what stag do is at first, and I asked Laura to go with me. Finally we found out it was the bachelor party and Laura and I were so embarrassed. I have no idea why he invited us..we are not males @ @............haha * *"
