Quirky La France

(Paris, 05 April - 18 April 2006)

Bus-Stop : Exact timing of the arrival of buses tracked by satellite.



A fast and economical way for rubbish - no body cover, just strap on the plastic bag.


A self-cleaning public toilet.
I tried it once - very clean cos after every use, it automatically flushes and disinfect.



Such small cars - great for me cos if I can't park it, I could just simply push it into the parking lot.


Wonder if hubby could fit in it since he's tall and big size.

Set on a hill 130 meters high, the area of Montmartre looks grandly out over all of Paris.
Also a place where the artists gathers.






Long way up - but I took the cable-car


Hubby's bro with his daughter.

Open your mouth - there, that's a good boy.














The top most picture is my favourite. The hauntingly blue night sky....
