Mona Lisa and Effel Tower

Louvre Museum is a formerly a palace and is enormous. Entry is 9 euros for adults and free for 18 years and below. It is spacious and had lots of paintings and sculpture. The paintings are very good. Mona Lisa, the most famous and also the most popular is actually quite a small are at same size as in the painting. Some paintings were even bigger. Looking at the paintingpainting size of a family protrait or A3. There are many life-size painting i.e. the human subjects s, it must have taken the artist a long time to complete the job. Many of the them are life-like. I am not a arty-craftsy type and so I was tired out by the walk. In total, I spent less than an hour. Walking to find Mona Lisa from the entrance take more than 15 mins. After seeing meeting Mona Lisa, I would not say this is a life changing experience.
Going up to the top of Effel Tower in the bitter cold is interesting experience. The weather was gloomy and a little foggy. So the visibility is a little compromised. However the view is spectacular. It is also scary for those afraid of heights. It is quite fun just to go up to be on top of the world, I mean Paris. Paris is a interesting city. There is only one tall modern building. There must be a height limitation as the buildings are not more than 10 storeys high. Another interesting feature is there are many huge doors on the arches along the buildings. Some are entrance for cars. There are more than 12 metro lines. The pedestrian path is quite narrow and Parisens are always in rush.
Taking the metro(MRT) and buses is a cinch and convenient. It is also cost effective. Living in an apartment with a kitchen also save money. You got it! We are touring on economy class.
