A weekend in Paris....
I had been to Paris at least 2 times previously (possibly 3). Once when I was 18 with Jess & Aliza, and we saw every church, cathedral, museum and notable sight. And the second time with Rolle where we there for only 2 days and tried to fit in as many sights. Both times I thought Paris was nice, but that was it. (Nice - eech). Well it's true if you want to see the beauty in a city (well one as classically beautiful as Paris), then travel with a gay man.
Ok so it wasn't just travelling with Will that made me appreciate Paris (as it should be), it was also there was a lot more time spent wandering, eating croissants, crepes, drinking cafe (cafe au lait for Will) and perving at french men. Paris is a perfect city for wandering, yes we did wander past a number of the sights but none of that lining up thing.
Oh and the final ingredient in making me appreciate Paris? The ugliness of Hong Kong. Seriously. The massive sky scrapers of HK, really made me stop and stare at the gorgeous artistry of the buildings in Paris (even the non famous ones).
I arrived back in London yesterday eve, heading over to Trudis, had a quick catch up, a quick shower and headed to the Prince Bonaparte for vino and food and meet up with the crew. Attendees were : Trudi, Will, Chris & Char, Helen and Tim (and me). Was great to see everyone (as per normal). It does feel like im here a bit too often - I was here less than a yr ago. Both Chris and Helen asked when they could expect me back. Hey I'm living in HK, not london you know! Yeh Ok coming back has made returning to london (or europe) more of a certainty - its just a matter of time. I do feel like I belong here - more than I do in sydney, and more than HK (but hey I'll give HK a longer trial period).
I like Hong Kong, I do - I just wished I loved it like I do London (warts & all).
Ok better get off and enjoy it, go argue with HSBC and meet RM & Beth for lunch. Au Revour.
