day 11 out on the champ

we decided to go to have lunch at the 'planet hollywood paris' out of all places we can eat at. we have to catch the early bird and went out at 1030am hoping that they will be open at 11pm, but they open at 11:45pm so we have more time to kill. we ended up in a mini shopping mall next to the planet.

we shopped for souvenirs. jp bought like tons of shot glass for his co-worker back home. i bought some cute stuff for his sibs. it took awhile for the shop owner to wrap everything all up and baby got upset cause he was hungry and hot. we had to take him out to cool off and papa bought baby pastry at 'paul'. it is a famous bakery. we wanted the ginger bread man 'petite homme' outside on their window display cause it was so cute, but of course those where not for sale. papa bought us croissant, chocolate petite pain and an eclair. the croissant was probably the best one i have tasted. it has just the right amount of butter and it isn't too flaky nor dry like some other ones we have tasted.

all the restaurant in france still have smoking and non smoking section but it doesn't really make a difference i can still catch the odor. hopefully the government will pass a law to get rid of smokers indoors in restaurant and public spaces.

so far most of the food places served cold food. either the server waits till they are cold to serve or the cold weather makes the food cool off faster. yet the plates the food are served in are hot. services in restaurant are just plain out of question. first the server handed the food to the wrong table, then he handed me a hot plate. if it was super hot i would have just dropped it. and it doesn't even take any more effort just to walk over to my side of the table and place the food on the table. it was a table for four?!

that planet is very run down. everything just look dusty and old, but still people goes there cause it is labeled 'hollywood.'

we have 10 minutes to walk back to the hotel to get our things ready!
