Some people might have thought it was a bit crazy that the first thing I did here in Paris was swimming. Swimming pool or "Piscine" in French could be found around the city. They are also cheap and clean. After the swimmin, it was time to have a snack and a cup of coffee. The French seem to be able to preserve their brasseries even some major cafe like Starbucks are spreading. After the morning cofee, we went to Porte d'Italie to see the new tram line "T3" services from Porte d'Ivry to Porte du Garigliano. Unlike most of metro lines, tram services are on street levels, therefore passengers might not be bored looking around. We continued our journey with RER to Tour de Eiffel, one of the world most famous landmark. She was standing tall welcoming all tourists from all around the world. From Eiffel Tower, we ended our today trip at Avenue des Champs Elesee, one of the most famous and expensive street in the world. Just window shopping is worth coming here.
We went to Minako's picnic at Canal St.Martin that evening. Both sides of the canal were full of restaurants, cinemas, people, musics and dance floors. Minako was an incredible japanese woman, speaking fluently in 5 languages (or more), holding postgrad-degrees in Physics and Maths from many countries as well. She also has got various type of friends. Holding camera at 45 degree is her character that I really like. We left the picnic late at night. I prepared myself for Musee du Louvre the next day.

French styled buildings, this picture was taken out of Starbucks at the end of Avenue Les Goblins.
