Sunday, 7 December 2008 7 things I didn't know last month... about Paris

Just got back from a weekend away in Paris for our company party, so this month is 7 things I learnt from my excursion.

  1. The Eiffel Tower is a LOT bigger than I thought it was!
  2. The Buddha Bar doesn't serve alcohol until after 4pm
  3. The 'Venus de Milo' (in the Louvre) has her bum crack partially showing :D
  4. Although the Hilton in Paris is lovely inside, the building is a horrible 1960s pre-fab!
  5. The metro train doors don't open by themselves on most of the lines and you can open the doors while the train is still moving
  6. The 'roundabouts' in Paris have zero road markings and even less rules!
  7. The waiters (the ones we met) are really quite friendly and not rude at all
