Non-Parasian Highlights of Paris

Sitting and basking in the sun outside the Notre Dame Cathedral and having a girl come up to me and speak to me in her sing-song French. I smiled and nodded enthusiastically as she spoke, letting her serenade me for a good 2 minutes before interrupting and  informing her that I could not understand a word of French.

In her broken English she said "Oh, ok...sorry...I just wanted to know where you got your boots from. They are beautiful". I replied in my own sing-song bogan,  "Oh thank you, I got them from from this high-end shoe store in Australia called Target".

My $25 Target boots gets the
 French tick of approval

This Ferrari being pulled over by two French police officers on bicycles, in front of our packed tour bus. I think the proper french term for this situation is 'Oh fuck'.

Khaos in Kuala Lumpur

Hello!

Well, we have finally arrived at KL and boy, are we exhausted! Being a tight ass is definitely not for the fainthearted.
We left the airprort, dragging  3 suitcases and managed to make the bus to head to the train station.

After a 15 minute train ride we arrived at central KL and caught a taxi to the Shangri-La hotel.

Wow!  Can I just say the hotel itself is pure opulence, and the hotel staff -  well, don't get me started on these people!  They are so nice and attentive!  When we arrived they informed us that we would  be upgraded to a Horizon Club room (I would have said the previous statement even if we wern't upgraded. I swear). People, this room is awesome. Here are some pictures. The building second from the left is the one of the Petronas towers. What a view!

For $140.00 per night, it is definitely worth it. Now if you will excuse me, I'm going to make myself a coffee on the whizbang Nespresso machine in our room.
