Paris

Looks like I have seen the Eiffel Tower for real.

Miniature Eiffel Tower at the Window of the World



up-close from underneath the tower



far away view



Palazzo Vecchio nearby the Eiffel Tower



splendid architectural designs



The 108 meter (354 ft) tall Eiffel Tower dominates the skyline.

Magnificent!

But I have yet to see the real Eiffel Tower in Paris
which stands at 324 m (1,063 ft) tall!

    How funny. I've been up the real one and wondered at first why the surroundings looked so different.

    You got me! At first I thought "how lucky Wenn is to have seen it" and then I noticed the description! My dream is to see the real one someday, my husband has seen it.

    When I quickly looked at the Eiffel Tower on your post at first I thought how lucky you were that is was a sunny day because when we were there in Paris last month it was not very sunny. Then I read your post and saw that it was not in Paris, but it does look so very good. I did not know that there was an Eiffel Tower there – I knew of the one in Las Vegas, which I have not seen. I have only been on the Eiffel Tower twice even though I lived in Paris. Every time it was to take friends or family coming from afar. Last month at the foot of the Eiffel Tower peddlers were selling miniature glass towers with lights turning all around it. I bought one. The Eiffel Tower is 120 years old and to celebrate it there is a special light display every evening. It flickers then many colors appear. Here is the official web site in English: http://www.tour-eiffel.fr/teiffel/uk/. Click on “for more information on the light show” and you will see a clip of it. Voila!

Twin bananas

Image
Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
