Souvenir de Paris

Samsung Digital Imaging has provided the author of this review with the mentioned digital imaging device.
Hello everyone, long time no posting.
I haven’t been feeling very well lately so do forgive me for not being able to communicate with you guys.
I have been quite down for the last two, three months, physically and mentally, but now I’m much better and came back to my easy, breezy, beautiful, happy, shiny, peaceful, bubbly Sara.
(Yes!! I’m going to be refusing to feel dark, down, sad, depressed and all the other bad things!)
Anyways, as I was coming back to Morocco in January, I stopped by Paris, France.
I stayed at the world-renowned sculptor Prof. Dong Lak Lim’s Paris home.

After spending a night in Paris I woke up and opened the windows.
The fresh daybreak air made me fresh as well.
Looking at the luxurious villas on the hillside of 16th arrondissement of Paris brought back old memories.

Prof. Lim is known as one of the top ten artists in the world that Korea produced.
Sitting at the small table in the corner of the living room,
The pretty little sweet park by the house comes into the picture over the window.

Looking at the picture on the living room wall, the roaring Pacific crossed my mind.

Prof. Lim’s Europe exhibition posters were pasted on the wall.

And on the speaker was a miniature of Prof. Lim’s art piece.
There were art pieces here and there making the whole house feel like a gallery.

Since there was some time left till getting on the plane to Morocco, I got out of the house for
a while. Looking at the Eiffel tower and Seine is always a pleasure to the heart and eyes.

It is always overwhelming to see the beauty of the Eiffel Tower.

museum.

Sadly time didn’t allow me to go inside the museum.
The scattered groundwork on the garden seemed quite free.

Even the commercial gift shop seemed like a gallery.

The artificial canal flowing through <Le Musee du Quai Branly>
It brings about a lovely image going well with the nearby mansions.

On the cornerstone at the corner of the garden, it says
“The garden of the Branly museum that was designed by Gilles Clément was made by the
support of the enterprise ‘Gaz de France’.”

Aren’t the windows of the museum quite unique?

In the spacious space there are several chairs so that even a quite decent meeting could take
place. I thought it would be a great place for the students to discuss after touring the
museum.

When Eiffel said he would put up a steel structure the Parisians of the day objected the idea by
saying “We don’t need any hideous steel crumbs in Paris”.
However, the Eiffel Tower is now the symbol of Paris.

We went into the café on the first floor of the museum.
The unique and clever chairs pleasantly welcomed us.
