death by kidney failure in Paris

Friday (2nd day)
7:30 AM. Hotel's cold breakfast buffet. I take croissant, chocolate croissant, 2 other pains, muesli with fruits and yoghurt, hams, cheese and a big cup of chocolat. Jon has croissant and coffee and 2 pieces of ham. I am patay-gutom.
Me: Babe, we can make baon some croissant and cheese and have picnic later!!!
Jon: No.

8:30 AM. First view of Place de la Concorde. The Egyptian Obelisk, Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe looming before us.
Me: O diba, ang taray. Meron ba kayo niyan!!!
Jon: Pet-malu! (malupit)
Me: C'mon let's take picture of you with the obelisk!
Jon: No way. They stole that from Egypt.

Tuileries, Louvre, Everything is so big here. And full of Asians taking pictures. The caucasians are still sleeping or having their leisurely breakfasts.

We cross Pont Solferino to look at the Musee d'Orsay. Hovering by the Allegory of Continents -
Me: Bakit kita boobs ng Asia, Africa and Oceania.
Jon: Because we're savages until they came and made us civilized.
WTF.

It starts to rain so we take shelter at a nearby brasserie. They don't have cafe in the menu but we still order it. The bill comes and they are EUR4,60 each. RIP-OFF.
