Guimet & Eiffel: Mix & Match

Stay up late working yesterday... Because today is SATURDAY!!!!!!!!!! The weekend is coming!!!!!!!

 

La Place de Iéla, Iéla square. Today here had a market that merchandising food, clothes and flowers. It is said that such weekend market charges less than in supermarkets, and the quality is rather good. Pity that I know too little French to buy things in the market, so I made my visit to the market a part of sightseeing rather than a purchasing tour.

They sold really gorgeous flowers. French people like flowers so much that they always decorate their windowsills and balconies with bunches of flowers no matter how small the windowsills and balconies are.

I happened to walk through President Wilson Avenue. There are another street called New-York Avenue near this avenue. I guess the US embassy is just around. Anyway, in Paris, they have metro stations called "Franklin Roosevelt""Stalin"and "Clemenceau", which is so interesting.

Guimet Asian Museum, the first museum I visited in Paris, was founded by a famous collector Emile Guimet around 1899. He had large amount collections of Asian Art, mainly sculptures and small artifacts. Here in Guimet Museum, they have the Cambodian collections. I'd been to Cambodia once back in 2008, and I found that in Siem-Reap, where world heritage Angkor Wat and Angkor City located, many sculptures and curved stones were missing... Now I know where they exactly are.

Guimet also exhibit artifacts from other Asian countries like India, Thiland, Laos, Japan, Nepal, Afganistan and China. They are also extraordinarily amazing... When I was facing the Buddhas and other collections, I dreamed of they were all alive and bring me to explore a brand new world in another time and space....

After the breath-taking visit to the Guimet Museum, it's time for EIFFEL!!!!!!!

Eiffel is the modern Paris. The hard metal is not that cold, but rather fabulous and romantic. Especially in the sunshine like today... The beauty of today's Eiffel is far beyond my words...
