Europe Trip - Paris - Day 5 (Part 1)

ah... brand new day... by this time into the trip, we already had plenty of rest from work.

first thing's first... shopping! we grabbed a quick breakfast and crossed the road to Louis Vuitton which opens its doors at 10am. unlike what we heard from friends, there were no queue. now LV is really worth buying in paris, unlike other brands like Gucci and Burberry, LV has no factory outlets nor sale. With the tax refund, you should save about 15-20% compared to buying it in singapore. we spend about an hour shopping, threw all our purchases back to the hotel... and off we go sightseeing...
