Eiffel tower here we go!! 

The next morning, we decided to wake up earlier to go and have a walk. We wanted to go to the flea market but it was closed on a weekday. We met a nice Chinese lady who suggested that we go to the France Sports Stadium instead. It was really huge but it looked like every other sports stadium that I had been to so I wasn't really that excited. We wanted to go to another place but in the end we didn't go...
We were supposed to meet Kang and David at the eiffel tower. We were there early as usual and they were very late again!!!We passed by a river near the Eiffel tower and took some pictures there.We waited and we watched the crowd and took alot of photos. It was really interesting to see artiste performing and youngsters screaming and having fun....
Finally they came and we saved money because we climbed up to the mid level and took a lift up after that. It was really good as we saved a lot of money because we had student rate as well. Kang couldn't get a student rate as he was overaged... haha by one year. On our way up, it was really tiring, Ying was like saying... ahhhhhh so long... haha... anyway, it was really fun going higher and higher and seeing more and more things.... Finally using the lift we reached the top... we took so many photos and i even shoot Kang spitting a gum on top of eiffel tower...wonder if the gum fell on anyone??? ahahahah
After that we went to Les invalides. It was the Napolean museum. I learnt more about France's history there. It was interesting although I wasn't really interested in the history.
We decided to go to Disneyland the next day and we happened to see an offer which gives an extra ticket for 4 tickets paid. We treated David to Disneyland and we hurriedly went to buy the ticket before the day ends. He walked so fast that I really had a hard time catching up...but Ying was right in front walking as fast as him. I was truly amazed by her speed...
Later on, we went to Arc de Triomphe which is in Champs-elysees which was built to commemorate the France's freedom from other invaders. We bought a lot of lighters in the tunnel leading to Arc de Triomphe and we took a few pictures there. Champs elysees was the richest district in Paris. it was a whole street of glamourous stuff and it was really beautiful!
Finally everything was done and we went for our dinner in MAC. It was really good and we met Alex and another guy by coincidence there. We had a hearty meal and talked a lot before we went off.
