little india in paris

bonjour again from paris. i am still in the hotel now and the local time is 7.50a.m.
just woke up and can't wait to blog again. i love writing on this macbook air. so thin and light.
ahhahaha...damn, i am so in love with this.
going out at 8.30am. for breakfast. wanna try some french pastry.

did not get a good night's sleep last night. i think i went to sleep too late. past midnight here. never mind....i am gonna have fun. the weather today is going to warm!!!! yippee! time to get burnt ...okok tanned.

ok the photos below are not in proper order yeah. no time to really arrange everything tidily. here are a little bit more of yesterday's arrival in paris.

the air france flight was all right and we took the train to gare du nord, the station near our hotel. it is eurostar main station too. however, there was a slight delay from the airport because they closed the train terminal where i was at because of suspected luggage. so we had to take the airport shuttle to another terminal to board the train. french policemen are machos!!! so fit in their dark blue uniform hahaha.

and when i arrived at gare du nord station, another handsome parisian helped me. this time in the shape of an air attendance from air france who had just landed from san francisco. he saw me not knowing where to turn once i got off the escalator and offered to help. so kind. he brought us all the way to the right exit to our road turning into our hotel. wahhaha....encounter with french gentlemen in uniforms!!!

our hotel is only 1 minute walk from the metro and train station. woohoo!! so convenient. it is no high-class area, but very 'black' area. you can smell india here! haha....not the black you imagine when u get here, but it feels like home away from home. there are many asian markets here and we even bought mangoes from india to eat. so i dun think i will miss home these few days.

the receptionists at my hotel, hotel faubourg are also very friendly and helpful. phew!
my hotel is kinda quaint. the building is old, but the interior has been renovated. the lift is ancient and sooo soo small! the staircase is also old but the room is clean. i am satisfied. it is a good 3-star hotel.

sorry have to start with the picture of the toilet first. told you the photos arrangement is messed up. very big for paris i think.


view from the balcony.


staircase leading to the rooms. i am on 2nd floor, the other room is on 3rd.


claustrophobic lift. can only fit one luggage and one person. i refused to go in. rather walked and lugged that piece of luggage. call it extra exercise


the place where the two men are facing each other, that is our hotel. next door, an asian supermarket.


my room. cosy and spacious for a 3-star.



my first meal!! indian!! stomachs were so hungry tat this was the first place we found few doors away and zoomed!!! eat eat eat!!! the best indian food we had had. can't find this in malaysia!

cheese naan...more like roti canai but still good.


nasi briyani. out of this world! enough spices!!! wa wa woom!

tika masala. succulent and juicy.

masala thosai. i am not a fan but they say it is good.

ok, time to go for my breakfast now. gonna paint the city in green...hahah..green dress!! woohoo! shopping! eiffel tower, seine river cruise. louvre!!

p/s: the post will come one day later ya....tonight will have a late one. gonna catch moulin rouge at 9p.m.
