We arrived at Paris this morning and it really is a beautiful city. Trip was a whooping 10 hour long direct flight but it was ok. There were many fun topics to talk about the trip ... one being a team member (don't want to mention the name because he was serious about this) slipped a soft drink all over and pretty seriously he accused the pilot for going over a pit. (Guess he couldn't find what to call 'turbulence')

Loads of old styled buildings are everywhere and it is indeed a super busy city. Not sure whether these old looking building are really old or recreations based on the old architecture. Anyways looks pretty amazing. From the airport to the hotel it took almost 2 1/2 hours as there were many ... I mean many ... traffic light stops on the way. Folks! Aren't we easily get annoyed by the 5-6 traffic lights on the base line road.. In Paris I'm talking about that multiplied by 10 :) ... Yup! it was really annoying ... after every 50 meters there is a traffic light stop.

Since we arrive at the hotel early we took a walk down few streets and also we just walked around the Eiffel Tower. It's truly is fantastic. Don't ask why we didn't go to the top :) ... right now the top priority is the competition. After that I think we are going there in the city tour. If not we'll find time to go to the tower. How on earth we can go to Paris and come back without visiting the Eiffel Tower.

Will upload the photos later today ...
