à Paris

Given up on the HSC. Still not finished with frikkin belonging notes let alone anything else.

Been looking at a few places to visit in Paris. Will keep updating in the next couple of months. We'll start off with the cemeteries (in a death mood). Hey, when you're near Paris for over 2 months, you figure you'd have time to do less touristy stuff like look at graves...

-Pere Lachaise cemetery for random graves of famous people. Poulenc, Chopin (YES, CHOPIN!!!). Randomly enough, France Clidat (a concert pianist who taught my music tutor) is buried there too. Oh and Lyotard!!!! After all the bullshit we learned he could spin on meta-narratives in eng ext, how could I not visit his grave?

-Passy cemetery for Bao Dai (Vietnamese puppet emperor we had to learn about in modern), Princess Brasova (again, another modern thing. Wife of the Tsar's brother who abdicated), DEBUSSY.

-Levallois-Perret cemetery (RAVEL)

-Paris catacombs

-Marche d'Aligre for fruit and cheese

-Eric Kayser bakery for baguettes

-Louvre museum (Mona Lisa)

-Musee d'Orsay (only going if I have time. I'm really not an art aficionado, would have no idea what I was looking at, so would only just go for like van Gough and Monet and then leave after like 2 paintings)

-Natural History Museum

-Disneyland

-Sacre-coeur

-Gaite Lyrique

-St Germain - des -Pres

-Musee National du Moyen Age

-Conciergerie

-Bastille Square

-Eiffel tower

-Arc de Triomphe

-Champs-Elysees

-Chinatown
