Sophie et le Tour Eiffel


Sophie et le Tour Eiffel
Originally uploaded by nz fille.

I can hardly believe that it has not even been a week since I left! I think it is because there is so much to take in here that I feel as though I have been experiencing Paris for weeks and weeks already.
Sunday here was drizzly and cold, so I enjoyed a very brisk tour around the Latin Quarter with my neighbour and then we had lunch in a bright and cheery bistro. My first ever croque-madame and it was so delicious - while I was eating it I decided that any visitors I get will have to be taken out for a taste of this chewy cheesy goodness. So all fueled up on croque we visited 'Le Musée de l'Homme' (Museum of Man/Humanity). There we viewed a very vast and unusual collection including such oddities as the skeleton of the tallest man to have lived, a giant prehistoric molar, mummified bodies, a preserved head. Eep, it was bizarre in the extreme, the highlight was the fantastic view of Paris from the upper level.
That evening attended a french service at an anglican church. There were lots of young people of many different nationalities, had a great time. Lessons in French slang over a bowl of pasta with Léo (neighbour). Quick explanation of housing - it's a large appartment building but I share a foyer and toilet with two others, Léo who is a real sweetie and family friend of 'my' family and another woman who I have yet to meet but who does vacuuming and loud talking on the phone at 6 in the morning.

When you are touring you end up going to see all kinds of things you wouldn't bother with in your own country. Some of those zany things can make a normal museum more enjoyable. I went to the Guinness World Records Museum in Denmark and they had the Worlds Tallest Man lifesize statue outside. Needless to say life back then must've been pretty tough for someone of such large proportions.

So I went ahead and splurged -- bought myself a [url=http://www.ordio.com.au/products/Fatman-iTube-ValveDock-with-Speakers.html]Fatman iTube Dock[/url] and I've got to say I am an extremely happy customer. I actually listened to one at a friend's house a few months back and just couldn't get that music out of my head because it really truly surprised me. I searched online everywhere for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I rang them first and asked a bunch of questions and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and bought it. Shipping was very fast. Everything was as it should be. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they ship outside of Australia but you won't be sorry if they do.

Best accessory I could have bought...

Всем привет!

Недавно перед мной встала задача, куда деть накопишиеся [b]европоддоны[/b], или еще их называют [b]Паллеты[/b],
[b]Поддоны[/b], [b]Европаллет[/b]ы Размеры 800*1200, 1000*1200- Это [u]Тара Пром назначения[/u].
Немного предистории.
Сам я работаю кладовщиком на складе. Нам приходит много продукции на [b]Европоддонах[/b],
товар продаем а поддоны остаются, у нас возник вопрос куда их девать.
Раньше мы их выкидывали.
Потом я узнал, что за поддоны можно получить деньги.
Начал звонить по фирмам везде были цены дешевые,
потом приятели мне подсказали, что в Челябинске есть такая Компания "[b]Уралсклад[/b]",
около 10 лет на Рынке Промышленной Тары с прекрасной репутацией.
Я нашел их сайт в интернет - [url=http://www.uralsklad.ru]www.uralsklad.ru[/url] и позвонил по тел. +7(351) 233-07-14.
Буквально через час подъехал их представитель, Авто с Логотипом "[url=http://www.uralsklad.ru]Поддоны Челябинск[/url]".
Цены закупочные оказались самые высокие в г. Челябинске.
Все цивилизовано грузчики загрузили [b]Паллеты[/b] ешё и лом поддонов купили, расчитались на месте наличными.
Про другие фирмы я узнавал либо Цены низкие, либо Бракуют много, да и денег от них не дождешься.

Так что если у вас завалялись [b]европоддоны[/b], не торопитесь их выбрасывать, лучше обменяйте их на деньги.

Nonetheless, there are some essential factors that need considering
