I thought Eiffel tower looked amazing as it is on a broad daylight, but watching it at night is a whole other experience. I remember the obsession starts when I was planning a supposedly Europe trip during my uni days (which came to an abrupt end when, well, I was introduced to final year semester and crazy hectic lab days) I came across a lot of nice pictures of Eiffel tower and I really made a vow to myself to at least go there once.
So apparently we weren't satisfied of witnessing one of the greatest treasure in the world during the day; that we just HAD to go there again at night!
Proceeded to strolling around in the city cause we were feeling adventurous that night. I was immediately reminded of the movie Taken (where the daughter was kidnapped while in Paris with her friend, gasp) so I clung to Fiqah all the time. Not a good timing to be reminded of such movies, really.
We found ourselves walking across the river, passed by a few blocks up until we found Champs Elysees and Arc de Triomphe again.
At that moment, all I could think of was; now I - little me - was there. I am finally there; after all those years of reading about this cool city and saving all those gorgeous pictures as my desktop background and phone wallpaper and there I was, taking my own pictures in this breathtakingly beautiful city.
And I decided, it was a perfect night for me.
Wait, how'd you know Afiqah Aisyah ?! Small world, small world.
