June, my darling friend, i too should be in that! together we can confess our work aholic ways and support eachother through our need to travel and do exciting things!
I have been working so much! minus my 5 days in paris i have been working everyday of the week almost. The only reason that i agree to such ridiculousness is because i want to go everywhere.see everything. and i just cant say no!
I too, need to get my priorities in check!
xoxoxo

paris?!?!?!?
Now, if i were to talked about every single joy that I experienced while I was in Paris you would be sat at your computer for hours, no, probably days. So, my plan is to divide it into points to make it a bit more easy for you to read and to help prevent me from rambling.
1. FOOD: There was practically a cafe, bakery, cheese shop, bistro, crepe stand, chocolate shop, winery, and fruit/veg stand on every street. It was overwhelming really. The place where we were staying was right above a bakery so we had pastries for breakfast um, every morning - FAB! Pretty much, the food was tasty, well presented and priced for the queen.
2. BUILDINGS/MONUMENTS: As our little gang strolled through the city it seemed as if there was some extravagant building, statue or garden on every street. They were all individually appealing and crafted with such detail and beauty. It is quite phenomenal to think that hundreds of years ago these building were designed on paper, without the help of computers and then built by pure human strength- they didn't have CAT tractors and huge, powerful machinery to help them out back in the day. Here is a list of where we went, from amazing to a little less amazing:
Le Sacre Couer - most beautiful building i have ever seen, it is truly breathtaking
Musee Du Louvre - the art;beautiful, the ceilings;magnificent
La Cathedrale Notre-Dame - stunning and spooky at the same time
Tour Eiffel - we went on our last evening and i have never seen so many lights, you could see all of Paris - amazing
Arc De Triumph
Museum D'histoire Naturelle
3:FASHION: There are no trashy people in Paris, I will tell you that right now. Everyone has some sense of style but mostly, everyone just knows how to dress themselves... I didn't see one muffin top! ( that is really exciting to me because i cant stand when people wear pants that are too low and too tight, so , hurrah!) On Saturday night I went out with my dear friend Emilie Lacroix and we went to this club...everyone= fashionable and beautiful! it was great!
4: MEN: As in most cities there were slimy, gross men but to balance it out there were some beautiful, nice, french speaking ones as well! HURRAH! I don't speak french let alone understand it, but i felt shy or flattered each time a stunning young man would talk to me, even if he was the waiter just asking what i wanted to eat.5: POO: There is a lot of dog poo in Paris, no joke. It is just on every tree, lamp post and garbage bin. This was the only sadness of my whole trip. but really, so gross!

Workaholics Anonymous. This is where I belong.
I think im about to drive myself into overload again!! bahhh.
The problem is: I constantly have 5 or more things that i want to do!!
I know its realistically not possible to do all of them but my workaholicness is taking over once again. So I'm wondering right now what my priorities are?
Gotta set things straight!

hygeine
Haven't updated in ages. I'm so sorry!! okay something random I discovered recently...
So everyone knows that Japan is one of the most hygienic places... probably on earth. Everything is packaged at least twice or more, and baths are beyond essential for Japanese living. But recently I have found an incredibly shocking loop hole about Japan's hygiene!! That is, public washrooms!! (￣□￣;)!!
Okay, so I've encountered several time now where I walk into a public washroom (train station, department store, etc.) and find a nice clean stall. The toilet papers are all filled up, so far so good.
Then I go to the sink to wash my hands and everything seems to be going alright... until I push on the silver soap dispenser beside the sink and NOTHING comes out. So I go to check the others, but nothing comes out. I slightly panic. But I check the first dispenser again just to make sure, but still, nothing. Then, a small metal sign beside the soap dispenser catches my eye. It reads "umbrella holder"uh.... pardon?
An umbrella holder?? You mean it's necessary to have UMBRELLA HOLDERS at each sink but NO SOAP?! wow. that's great. -____-;;
So I wash my hands with just water rub my hands on the side of my jeans because of course there's no paper towels or a hand dryer. excellent.
You may think I'm being kind of a germaphobe about the soap thing, but it's surprising to me because Japan usually so meticulous about hygiene. And especially with the flu season coming on the rise public washrooms are one of the most prime places to catch germs!!
So these days, I've learned to carry some hand sanitizer around and a small towel where ever I go because you never know when you might end up needing it here!!
