the pictures are here!

i shall arrange according to where they were taken. note this is only a minute fraction of the 45760712345870971.5827 photos i took, so don't go around ranting about why there are only so much photos.

France
Paris

Eiffel at night

This is the Eiffel at night. A thousand foot tall phallus, in the words of Robert Langdon. trust me you don't want to see what it's like in the day. hideous barely describes it. only when the sparklies come out, then it looks palatable.

Good looking guy??

my cousin saw this guy and felt he was good looking. and of course, with my increeeedible voyeuristic camera mad SK1LLZZ, i took this picture even before he knew it and showed it to my gushing cousin. tsk.

Louvre's outside

took this picture from the outside of the Louvre. see the individual light shadows cast on the clouds???? see the lovely tones??? by the way, the Louvre is a museum, a famous one. the one that houses Mona Lisa! you didn't know?????? philistine (betcha don't know what that means either)

Mona Lisa

yes, it is she. that famous smile. da vinci's secret. your guess. in fact, she's really small. not bigger than a vanguard sheet that we buy.

Arc du Triomphe

it means Arc of Triumph. a big-ass arch, for people to climb up and climb down again. you can get a 360 degrees uniterrupted view of Paris from there. well, not for me the other time, because they blocked off 1/3 of the arch for renovation purposes.

Rendezvous!!!!

have i mentioned i was voyeur?? i've never? i'm a freaking voyeur dammit!!!! now you know. =) as per usual, secretly took this picture of a couple kissing on the Arc du Triomphe, with the sunset!! wooo go me! they should pay me for this picture! *slurp*

Napoleon's Tomb

YES it's that crazy French guy who went around conquering places and met his end at Waterloo. his tomb is BIIG and gawdy, filled with gold of all sorts.

Raphael,what have they done to the clarinets???

from the Pompidou Museum, of modern art. i shan't post any of the art pictures here because i just don't wanna. however, Raphael look at what they did to your clarinets!!!!

Notre Dame

yes it's that Notre Dame, the one with the hunchback and stuff.
P.S: The Quasimodo Ristorante Restaurant) has hot waiters (as in male).
P.P.S: The gift shop next door has hot chick attendants, but they bite.

Notre Dame's inside

random candles in the church..ooh fire!

Italy
Venice

Venice at sunset

Venice at sunset, nothing much to say...

Venice at sunset...again

self-explanatory title

Italy
Vatican City (YES IT'S AN INDEPENDANT COUNTRY)

St Pietro's Basillica

this look familiar? it's almost the same, exact picture as the cover page on Dan Brown's 'Angels and Demons'. this is the inside of Vatican City.

Italy
Rome

Circus Maximus

a stadium once, a big patch of field now. held the first horse racing ever, and probably was what initiated the first horse betting too.

Coloseum

you do know what the Coloseum is, don't you? it is one again, a big stadium, but for different purposes. used to stage gladiator fights, executions and stuff. romans watch all these before lunch!

roman 1: mmm...nothing like a good execution to make me hungry!
roman 2: bloodshed....pass me the popcorn will ya?

Roman Forum

the heart of religious and political activity, now pieces of stone gawked by many.

Palatine Hill

used to be the palace of this emperor guy. now it's all shit and tourist bait.

his sexroom

sorry did i say sex? i meant bedroom. not that it is not a well known fact that emperors are promiscuous and have harems.

Pantheon

the Pantheon. Raphael's burial place. used to be a pagan temple, they converted it into a Christian church now. how do i know so? because i'm smart!

impressionistic skillzzz!!1!!

set camera to slow shutter at 1.3 seconds, aperture f8.0, put finger on button, stand in the centre, when you press, quickly swing around like some idiot and hope not to hit anyone in the process. voila! mad impressionistic skillzzz!!1!!

Bocca Della Verita

it means 'Mouth of Truth'. in the past, when people suspect people of lying, they have them tried at this contraption. the liar puts his/her hand in the mouth thingy, and says a statement regarding his/her lie. is she/he is guilty of lying while saying it, someything bad happens to the hand.

ooh the first lie detector ever. not that it ever worked. unless you count the scorpions and snakes people hide inside to frame the trialed.

Miscellaneous stuff

some random church

don't ask me where this is. i don't know.

neatness!!

i drew this myself!! neat eh? it is a window as you can see, duh. drew this from outside my window.

Raphael loves this!

Double decker trains! everyone sits! no more "fuck you give me your seat you idiot i need it more than you grrrr!!!"

some random street

once again, ask me not where this is.

art is everywhere in Paris

in museums, on walls, and even on trucks and trains!

cute car

it's small. it's cute. it's...everywhere. no big deal to them. it's called a SmartCar.

some random clouds

clouds. what else is there to say but to marvel at how photographic i am?

the end.
