A Sunday out
Today had to wake up really early and go to the fleas markets. The morning was as usually cold and travelling around was great as there were very few people around. Today firstly went to the flea market near Ledru rollin, it was really short walk from the metro station. In my opinion, the flea market wasn’t as big and fabulous as the reviews said it was. Walked around for a while, and found some interesting stuff, black Levis jeans for 20Euros was one of my best finds. Didn’t buy it in the end because the cutting was not nice. After wondering around for about an hour, went to the next flea market which was at Porte de Vanves. The flea markets line the streets for as far as the eye can see. IN my opinion this is by far, the best and largest flea market in Paris. Spent around 3 hours there. There is a whole lot of things to see. (Mostly very interesting stuff.)
Thereafter was suppose to head back home, but in the metro, I saw St-Denis – Porte de Paris and since I was so close, I decide to check it out. It turned out to be a nice place to visit. There is the stade de France, a mega stadium. Haha, very nice. When I was there, I saw a big mall beside, so will probably go there over the weekdays.
All in all, it was a very nice Sunday spent

Walkway to stadium
Notice the lines on the ground, although the ground was spoiled, but I wonder what the lines were for. To me, it looked like lines on a running track, maybe when the stadium are full, the athletes run outside instead…haha..just a guess
Close to the stadium is a river…the place looked very calm and nice

The ultimate gift
How a rich boy who didn’t care about the world realized what the true meaning of life was. For him, money was no option, and having not worked in his life, he didn’t know what hard labor was. In his mind, all he could think of was that whenever he was feeling sad, he could always use money to solve those problems. Well, at least he thought he could.
This movie really moved me more than any others did, when one has everything, you forget about those who have nothing. And for many of us brought up in a well to do family, most of the times, we neglect this things. All along I have left this in some way or another, but I guess, this movie really reflected what I truly feel.
Now did I fully realize what my father was teaching me all this while. I know that people reading this might think this guy is emotional or something, but I really feel that it is true, and I am thankful for that. My dad was always a humble man, and he had always taught us to be humble. Not to over spend and to invest. All along I thought that he was being bad to us, and not giving us what we wanted. But what he did was made us think. Every time I buy something now a days, I will think of if it is practical and the long run.
Only when I am in Paris did I fully thank my parents for what they instilled in me. (Being considerate, roughing it out, fending for yourself and most importantly learning to love yourself first, before you can love others.)
Pursue your dreams
