WW: One Cloudy Day at Paris, the City of Lights

While enjoying your #stayathome #workfromhome #studyfromhome period, I took the liberty to dig up my external hard disk and boy..  I have tons of unpublished photos from my previous journey. 

Well, I do miss traveling.

Terribly.

But for now, I fully enjoy staying at home because I know I'm saving my self, as well as the lives of my loved ones, my family and the community. 

I cannot deny that I was quite frustrated to see, to read and to hear so many sad news here and there. I am trying to follow all the latest updates on the issue of COVID - 19, be it at home or abroad, and to do my best to contribute, by donating some fund to certain movements and platforms as well as to those around me who need assistance. Simple things like ordering food online, buying your fresh veggies from the traditional vendors who still need to go out and sell things to survive, giving free food and basic staples to those who need them, and staying at home as well as obeying the prevailing regulations will certainly help. So let's be kind and considerate. We all in this together and we all can fight it together.

Anyway, I randomly chose this Paris visit folder back in spring 2018.

Spring is here so I thought it's appropriate to celebrate it by publishing series of spring photos. In some place, spring is not only identical with blooming flowers, but also with rain.

I stayed for two days for meetings and I got a chance to see Paris in between.

Coming here for about 5 times, I never get bored (at all) with this City of Lights.

Even when rain came pouring down the whole day, I insisted to see its ageless beauty under the grey sky. 

Here are some photos I took on that cloudy-then-rainy day.

I took the metro and sopped at Trocadero and walked at the surrounding areas. In the evening, we made a round-a-bout drive along the Eiffel Tower and enjoyed its blinding lights.

Isn't she the prettiest?

Trocadero..

In gold..

cloud and rain did not stop people from flocking around

at dusk..

I just didn't want to move..

The metro is very handy

 And when the night came..

Tell me ...  do you think Paris still looks glamorous even under the pouring rain 

and gloomy sky?

Wonderful Wednesday with Oh My Heartsie Girls

Finally coming back home after being on the road since March 8!
And I was welcomed by winter storm, on the second day of spring.
NYC is once again covered in snow.
Beautiful and cold.

My trip has been quite successful in terms of works and I managed to have wonderful transits in Narita, Japan (again), Istanbul, Paris and Lisbon.

It's really good to be back to those cities after a while.
The last time I visited Paris was back in 2013, before heading to NYC for my assignment.
While we were in Geneva, we traveled to the City of lights several times, with my mom, my family and friends.
Paris has always been special indeed.

Cold and freezing, yet Trocadero is always packed with people

And Lisbon, Portugal, is another wonderful spot on earth packed with great fun vibes, architecture wonders, delicious food and amazing vistas.
I surely got tons of photos and stories to share!

And now, back to the reality, I live with the consequences of all those traveling.
Jetlag, fatigue and tons of reports, LOL.
Well, I'm so used to it but never enjoy it.

But for sure, I will invite you all to our weekly party here with Oh My Heartsie Girls!

Wonderful Wednesday with Oh My Hearts Girls

The long weekend is here!
Although not exactly a long weekend for me as the UN still has some meetings during the President Day as well as the Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year to those celebrating it!

Gong Xi Fa Cai

 

These are some fun photos we took while celebrating the Chinese New Year in Paris back in 2010. Always fascinating to see how colorful the world cultures are! We were traveling with a big group of people,- our big family in Geneve I have to say,- who love photography as well What a fun trip indeed!
And I really missed it! 

I have been using the time to upload some photos on my social media accounts.
Well, some photos are taken during our trips dated back in 2016 and apparently untouched!
Let alone the stories piling up in my drafts :).
Well, I guess I will have to do them one draft at a time!

It's not easy to juggle between my family and kids,  full-time job, and appealing New York City! So much to, so little time.
Especially as I'm counting down to going back home to Indonesia this summer.
 
Do you sometimes feel the same way?
Like you don't wanna miss anything but you know you are tired and just need to pause for a bit. Well, I bet I will soon work it out!

Anyway, now I'm ready, willing and able to invite you to our Weekly Linky Party, Wonderful Wednesday with Oh My Hearts Girls. Here it is!
