First Impressions - New Pictures

Hello!  So glad I get a few minutes of communication with you guys back home.

First of all, Paris and London have been AMAZING.  What a culture hotspot.  Here's a couple things I want to remember to expand upon when I have more time:


1. A Family Dinner in Paris
2. Mopeds, Motorcycles, and Men in Suits... First Impressions of Paris
3. Seeing JK Rowling and the whole Harry Potter crew in person London for the Premier in London
4.  Scenes from the top level of the big red bus!
5. Car fire in Paris.  Makes life here feel more real.
6. How much I am in love with the FOOD!!  Cafes to supermarkets (do not imagine WalMart or Publix when I say supermarket, PLEASE.  That would be a hugemongous disgrace to the markets here.)
7.  Sleeping with 11 other people in the same room... Hostel life - the good and the dirty
8. Museums, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Harrods, and so much more :)


It is so interesting to see life here.  The people, the shops, the food, the work, the museums, etc. 
Know I'm safe and doing very well :)

  1. JK Rowling in person?! Wow... : )

    Have you had a chance to experience the metro in Paris yet? :D Can't wait to hear about it. Mmm... my memory of Carrefour is fading... if that's what you are referring to. They used to have some in HK too.

    Can't wait to see/hear all about it!
