This is my first impression of Paris: the smell of the cigarette. Also, street performers are everywhere. Mind not their quality, they are always there to please the tourists. Even in the metro, one could find street musicians offering to share a song with you. (Of course you have to pay latter!) |
 |
They love reading. Strolling around Paris, you'd find lots of bookstores everywhere. Old bookstores and new bookstores. Visited by most people. Most of the time, one can only find books in french. At the same time, you could also find people reading everywhere. On the metro, in the park. The "reading" atmosphere is quite popular in this city. |
 |
"A Leisure Lifestyle". Every Sunday afternoon, the retirees would gather at a square in front of the market place. They would set up the microphone and instruments to invite volunteers to play the music and sing with them; meanwhile, they also encourages the passerby to dance with them to celebrate the joy of a Sunday afternoon. How lovely! |
 |
Like everywhere else in France, french eat "Baguette" (The long french bread in the photo), and there's no exception for Parisien. A secrete about Baguette is that they are only fresh for one day. Normally, after the second day it gets really hard like a stone. |
 |
Another often seen scene: texting and smoking during the pause. |

When its sunny, everyone is out for the sunshine. A huge contrast to the Taiwanese society where most people especially women eager to hide in shades when the sun comes out. Before departing to Europe, I've always heard of this differences but never have a chance to understand how the difference is made. I've discovered that there reason for the taiwanese ladies to find shades is because of the influence of the asian sense of beauty: the whiter skin you have the prettier you are. But at the same time, you can't deny that most of the time it is sunny in Taiwan. The summer last for six months in a year. With the high humidity and temperature, it is more likely that normal people prefer to stay in door with A.C. and want to hide away from the sun since it is just " too much". In contrast, in Europe, summer lasts maxim two months. They have heater instead of air-conditioners at home. It is not hard to imagine that when they see the sun, they grab the chance to indulge themselves in the warmth since it's less often seen, especially in a cloudy city like Paris. Also, they view the people with more tanned skin as healthier and prettier. When they are tanned, it means that they are wealthy enough to travel to the south where there's more sun. How interesting to see the differences in two cultures while knowing it that they share the same concept: It's more valued when its less seen; it's more cherished, when we don't have it. Exactly the same idea as the business idea nowadays. I'm just wondering, would it be a day when people can finally cherish what they have and who they are, instead of dyeing their hair blond or black. |

Travelers are everywhere. See you next time! |

Lost in traffic light and tree. winter, Paris. |

Looks like an important social event. Everyone was properly dressed. On the right, the french way of greeting "faire le bise" by saying hello and goodbye. 看起來，這是一個隆重的社交場合，大家都打扮的相當正式。 在右邊，你可以發現法國人的打招呼方式，他們會用臉頰碰臉頰來說你好和再見。 |
 |
Normally, there's only a Cathedral in a town, and when it's full, there would be churches springing out. 通常，在一個小鎮裡只會有一座大教堂，等大教堂滿了以後，才會有其他的小教堂紛紛出現。 |
 |
The priest was still wearing the centuries-old vestment. It made a great contrast with the bodyguard standing at his left and the modern lady standing in the Cathedral. Seeing, the petals on the floor, one can imagine that there was a wedding. 如今，教宗依然穿著他那越過世紀的服裝， 與他左邊的守衛和仍然在教會中的摩登小姐形成對比。 花瓣灑落滿地，我們不難想像，一場婚禮，剛剛才結束。 |
 |
Even kids are here. He and his father shared the same orange. How lovely! 小孩子也在這。 他和他的爸爸使用了一樣的橘色，多麼可愛！ |
 |
Ladies had made an effort to dress up, gorgeous! 女士們也爭先恐後 不遑多讓 的打扮，美極了！ |
 |

 |
I was enchanted by the elegance of the french "chapeau" (hats). 我深深的被法國的帽子吸引，著迷。 |
 |
I've started to talk to people. This is the beautiful generation: grandmother, daughter, mother. Wedding can always bring families together. 於是，我開始和人們交談。 這是美麗的三代： 祖母、女兒、媽媽。 婚姻，總有魔力讓家人相聚。 |

Before leaving It seemed like this lady was waiting for something/someone. Waiting for being able to do something As kids waiting to grow up Teenagers wait to be legal while time waits for no one We've wasted our lives waiting for the better, the happier or is it better to stop waiting and cherish, what we have. 在離開之前 這位女士似乎在等，不知道是在等什麼，還是等誰 等待，等到哪一天，我可以做什麼 就像孩子們總想要等到長大 青少年們總想等到成年 但是，時間總不等人 是否，我們浪費了生命在等待。等待更好，更快樂 或許，別再等了 但是，珍惜，擁有的。 |

"Bonjour, vous attendez à qqn?", I asked. She replied, "Oui, j'attend mon marie." I asked again, " Je suis une photographe taïwanaise, Est-ce que c'est possible de prendre une photo de vous, parce que je trouve vous êtes très belle." "Bien sûre" , she replied with a charming smile " Vous prouvez prétendre que vous attendrez qqn", I told her. |

| ----Château des ducs de Bretagne, France Each day, I would stop breathing for two seconds to check if I am still here or is it all a dream. For a girl twenty years-old spring never ends The thought of freedom after university makes her blossom, makes her giggle how much sillier can the world be? |
 |
出發前，我們約在法式咖啡館集合。年紀還小的愷愷只能垂涎愈滴的看著大人吃鹹派。 PS. 你有發現愷愷的衣服上寫著「Boss/老闆」嗎？ Before departing, we met at the french cafe. Baby KaiKai could only look at us while the "grownups" were eating Quiche. Ps. Have you found out that "BOSS" was written on Kaikai's shirt? |

Noortje 在吃薯條。奶奶說每個星期五她們都可以吃薯條。 荷蘭人的主食有許多的炸物，由於鄰近比利時，薯條也是他們的強項之一。 平日走在街頭，可以找到薯條的專賣店，淋上特調的美乃滋，相當美味。 奶奶還偷偷和我說，當她們來台灣的時候，吃太多飯會不習慣，還會偶爾跑去麥當勞懷念家鄉味。 Noortje was eating fries. Their grandmother said they could eat french fries every friday. The traditional dutch dishes are mainly consist of fried food. Since they are really close to Belgium, french fries is one of their specialties. While you walk on the streets, you could always find little shops at the corner sales only french fries, dipped with a special kind of mayonnaise: Extremely delicious! The grandmother had told me that when they visited Taiwan, to avoid too much rice-eating dinners; sometimes, they escaped to McDonald's for some changes. |
