Eiffel Tower

In Nov 2009, I had seen the Eiffel Tower at Shenzen.

Recently I had seen the real one in Paris!


a ticket to go up my dream tower


Awesome view of the tower while I was cruising the Seine River


high up in the air


You can imagine how big is the tower in comparison to the bus.


Welcome to tour eiffel!



 We had to queue up to get into the lift to take us to the second level of the tower.


The tower stands 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building. Upon its completion, it surpassed the Washington Monument to assume the title of tallest man-made structure in the world, a title it held for 41 years, until the Chrysler Building in New York City was built in 1930; however, due to the addition in 1957 of the antenna, the tower is now taller than the Chrysler Building. Not including broadcast antennas, it is the second tallest structure in France after the 2004 Millau Viaduct.

    You must have spent a long time admiring the tower. Seeing the tower on pictures and postcards is already breathtaking. How much more in real life? I wonder how Gustave Eiffel saw such a marvelous construction among heaps of metal.

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..
