Paris Pyramid


Edited post ~ I liked to draw reference to the big Museum. I dun think I could rem the routes. I dun think I could do so if I was back in the Museum searching for the Mona Lisa Paintings or Vincent's Sunflower paintings. Guess only those who stayed there long enough, just like me in 4-yr-U, could do so without blinking the eyes.

One funny point about the pyramid to share - Recently we caught a French show and one of the scenes was at the Lourve Museum. The "Mummies" joked that there should be a pyramid to be built and not many people caught the joke. To those who travelled to Paris, they should be aware of the "pyramid" they spoke about in the show. This time I was fast and could catch the humour.

It is interesting to re-read this post and I can't rem the emotion then while writing this post. I only rem us taking a photo in front of the pyramid. There were many people right from the start of the queuing downstairs.  Interesting, I could rem a lot of people trying to pose in front of this pyramid. At this point in time, we still dunno if we would be travelling back to Paris again.

I like this pose. Full of excitement.  Can also feel the big structure towering over many of us.

蒙娜丽莎的微笑

"蒙娜丽莎她是谁
她是否也曾为爱寻觅好几回
她的微笑那么神秘那么美
或许她也过感情的千山万水
才发现爱你的人
不会让他的蒙娜丽莎流眼泪"


I have shared the tips of visiting a huge museum. For the louvre museum, this tip was handy - zoom straight to the paintings that you would like to see.  We definitely wanted to take a look at the famous Mona Lisa. Many people were queuing to see the painting. It was much smaller than what we expected as we saw many huge paintings - even ceiling paintings. I wonder if Mona Lisa was expecting so many people viewing her portraits? Smile is usually associated with Mona Lisa - did we also realise that she should have other less cheerful moments?

I recalled a Chinese song about Mona Lisa when I was blogging this blog. The  title of the song was the other extreme - the tears of Mona Lisa. For me, I thought many people like to see or hear the brighter side of the day. Not many people also choose to hear or see the less bright side of the day. Many times, we wanted to hear good things especially when the day was already very dull and stressful. But it is actually during this time when family talk, close friends gather. Hearing good things is good but sharing not so good things is also good. I recalled Mario once shared that many of us were actually "friends" in name, we didnt really share. To be able to share is actually a step closer. Only close friends share. That's why I like to use the word "share". Of cos, when we are willing to share, we need to take some time to listen too.
