Back in Paris, my last trip in Barcelonnette really motivated me to start my driving lessons. It turns out to be a perfect time to learn driving here. Paris is eerily quiet, with very few cars and only a few people on the streets (the Parisians have all left the French capital for holiday). The... Continue Reading →
Summer break far away from busy Parisian city
Since living in Paris, I have been told, by different people, how much they hate the stressful and busy Parisian life, which I did not understand at first. Having lived in Hong Kong until 14 years old, Paris is no where near Hong Kong in terms of stress and business. However, this summer, because going... Continue Reading →
Gala in Anglet next week~

On our last day,... Continue Reading →

Another last minute trip – Colmar
It was another last minute idea, I decided to go to Colmar this week for two days. I left Paris in the morning of the Labour Day, on 1st of May. Early in the morning, the usually-busy street "Rue du Ranelagh" was empty on my way to the metro station. That image was very inspiring... Continue Reading →
