Long cold day today.
Try to do something different by going to Paris city hall where there's a free exhibition related to Paris. There was an exhibition by a photographer called Doisneau who took photos of Les Halles neighbourhood, and also photos of where it used to be a huge food market in Les Halles. The photos were quite interesting in that they showed how Paris looked like from 1930-1960's.
As people say, a picture is worth a thousand words, and for me, it was worth a million, as the whole exhibition was only in French.

I walked through the exhibition quite quickly compared to others who probably appreciated the photos more then me because it's interesting to see a transformation of their familiar neighbourhood. Overall, I spent an hour and an half waiting in a queue, freezing myself (while ironically reading a chapter of a book about burning of heretics in 1500s), 15 minutes looking at photos and two minutes asking a personnel at the front desk about other paris exhibitions.
After, in order to defrost myself, I made a swift decision to head back to my neighbourhood and head straight to a Thai restaurant, ordering food for two, including good ol Tom yum soup.
Now lying on my bed, thinking I need to update my hipgeo. Today, I froze, and defrosted.
Tomorrow, I shall update the last few days spent with Mr. Latif.
