La Tour Eiffel

last night we all went downtown to see La Tour Eiffel. i've only ever seen it during the day and wasn't impressed. it was absolutely beautiful during the night. i couldn't believe how large it was. the coolest thing happens too. at a certain time it starts to sparkle. i was able to capture the sparkling in some photos. we decided not to go up this time though. there weren't too many people cos supposedly january is slow for tourism in Paris. which suits me just dandy. there weren't many ppl trying to sell us things either which was nice. no one shot mechanical birds at me this time either!

afterward we went to a chinese restaurant. was pretty good. this tourist area was the only place i've heard english being spoken since we've got here. when we got back david, me, katrina, and abby watched Lucky Number Slevin in the lounge. it was twisted and lovely. then we tried to order a pizza but apparently everything is closed on sundays. we met a girl doing her masters here from montreal. she spoke english and was giving us tips on living in Paris.
