Yay! I got a scholarship to learn (or rather, re-learn) French for three weeks (that's why the shop's closed). Alors, je suis à Paris!
Paris is ridiculously cute. It's beautiful even in the rain, and totally ideal: music live in the streets, loads of art, very cheap second hand books stores everywhere... goodness! If I only managed to improve my French dramatically.

The Pompidou has a rather fab show on contemporary India which has, as a side-activity, a huge photomaton that prints A3 or A2 b&w images. Mignon, non? (pic., not mine, from here).

Also, an article by me appeared in the fantastic Lecturas magazine, from Chile. For those of you that speak Spanish, it's here.

Also, as usual, you can find me pinning at Pinterest!

Offensive or uplifting?

I did not write "here and there" as I said I would. But I shall be forgiven for Paris was absolutely delightful. I went with the secret anger of knowing it could not live up to the hype to all the " you'll love it", "oh, it's just so beautiful", "Oh, Paris, I really love that city". But it did. And it exceeded expectatives. The museums! (Oh, Pompidou, Oh, Quai de Branly); all the boulangeries and little shops! The Parfum shops!! Oh, oh, oh.
Too good.
I'll search through the pictures that Mr M took (I am a disaster with cameras); and I'll share the nicest ones.
Oh!
