Anyway, Ee Poh Margaret came to visit me in Paris!! And to take my 23.4 kg bag back with her! Gosh, I really don't know how I manage to accumulate so much stuff. And I have more stuff to take with me. Better find out how much MAS allows for international flights... ANYWAY. Getting side tracked here. She came to visit, and we did the ultimate in sight-seeing things in Paris: the Bateaux Mouches!! 
This is where Pam and I sometimes go with our Greek sandwiches. Down by the Seine. And I usually wave to the people on the bateaux mouches. Except this time I AM the people on the bateaux mouches. 
We had a nice dinner. Walked about. Never realized how pretty the Musee Orsay looks! 
Episode 3: the return to Roland Garros
Yes, I am guilty of tennis fanaticism. I went back to Roland Garros! But only for the afternoon... just a couple of hours. Ok 3. No, 4 hours. hhahaa. This is Patty Schnyder! OH OH OH... and my final project? I spoke to my prof today, and it's going to be something to do with ROLAND GARROS! Mua ha ha haaa... I'm going to examine sports and identity!
Another great server... frenchwoman Emile Loit
And another great server. Joshua Yeoh, Malaysia! Haha. Amy and I tried the clock-your-serve thing. It was for a good cause. Don't ask how fast I served! All the pressure... let's just say, contrary to popular belief, I don't serve as fast as Roddick. ha ha ha.
Ball in ball ( ha ha ), I think three days at Roland Garros is one day too many. Especially with annex court tickets. It's more convenient to watch it on TV. Haha. So that concludes my Roland Garros experience. Next time I come back will be to play! haha... Next stop: WIMBLEDON!
From stadium to stadium
Next stadium after Roland Garros was Stade de France for a one night only extravaganza: Puccini's opera, Turandot! It was a MEGA production... featuring Zhang Yimou's immense stage set! Look at that! The opera was beautiful! However, I might as well have been watching ants! Haha.. yeah we got the nosebleed seats.
Food, food and more food
To finish this update in true Josh style, we move to... FOOD. Had lunch with Ee Poh before sending her off at the airport. She hadn't tried escargot before, so....
And yesterday, I cooked dinner for my host family!!! It was a challenge considering they didn't have the necessary ingredients, but in the end they liked it! Yay. Char pui and stuffed cabbage rolls! :)
First you chop the carrots, then... hehe. Yup. Oh and today, I was going to go to Hillsong Paris's lifegroup... but that didn't turn out. LOOOONG STORY. Will update on that when the end arrives! :) But till then... 11 days to Erica!!! 28 more days to home!!! Wheeeeee
