Paris, France : Eiffel Tower Adventure


Paris, France!...and of course, the primary target tourist attraction to look for is the Eiffel Tower!  

The Eiffel Tower, or the "metal asparagus", as some Parisians snidely called it, was named after its designer, Gustave Eiffel.

I was totally inspired as history comes alive right before my eyes. I will forever cherish the memories. 

I journeyed via Metro Train to Paris to witness the splendor of the grand monuments. The Paris Metro (subway) and RER (express interurban train) have stations all throughout Central Paris. Paris airports are accessible via the RER train system, rather than the Paris Metro.

London Eye : Is This Where The MOA Eye Got Its Inspiration?



London Eye is totally different from the MOA Eye we have in the Philippines. The London Eye is actually more like an observation deck described as a giant observation wheel where it can take people up above to get a spectacular view of the city.

The 135 meter (443ft) tall structure, located in the Jubilee Gardens on the South Bank, is a very popular tourist attraction that was built as part of London's millennium celebrations. 

The architectural team of David Marks and Julia Barfield, husband and wife designed the structure as part of a competition to design a landmark for the new millennium.

None of the entrants won the competition, but the couple pressed on and eventually got the backing of British Airways, who sponsored the project.

Foo Bar : Have a Great Time But Hold It Until You Leave




Foo Bar is an upscale bar with tons of attitude and an atmosphere with an upscale edge. You can hear anything from 80's to good old classic favorites during the week weekday nights, but the music turns into house music during weekends. This place goes from spacious and roomy to butt to belly button on Thursday through Saturday nights.

It's the only bar in downtown Melbourne that was decorated by a professional interior designer. The female owner has taken great pride in showing off all of the hard work she has put into the place. The outside patio that has huge comfy cushiony couches and coffee tables. There is a gorgeous custom made all wood bar and back wall. The leather bar stools and ottomans are studded and there is a customized couch that wraps around one wall.  It had a very asian, Mr Miyagi's house kind of feel to it.
