M.Y. Lessons Learnt

Paris is many newly-weds’ honeymoon destination, and all of them will visit Eiffel Tower. Certainly Eiffel Tower is a very very romantic landmark, but to enjoy a very romantic moment is in fact not visiting the tower itself. Indeed there are two other options.

One is to go to the top of Arc de Triomphe. Yes, most tourists visit Arc de Triomphe but somehow they don’t visit the roof top. I don’t know why … anyway, just go to the roof top in late afternoon and wait for the special moment – when the Eiffel Tower lights up.

Another place is Pompidou Center, again visit the center in the afternoon and then walk out to the terrace in 5th or 6th floors and wait … with your love one.

As mentioned in my another blog post, I like to visit libraries, monuments, museums, train stations etc. And in fact, the other place that you can get closer to the locals is to go to their parks. Been there, done that.

Just wondering can I do the same when I am 70s ? (Seniors practicing their Chinese Calligraphy with just water and a brush)

I think no matter we like it or not, Shanghai will be one Megacity in very near future. The people there are hardworking, and determined to make their home city / country a great one. The point is, will there be any downside of all these developments, any dark sides behind the beautiful Nanjing Road neon lights ?
