"Zimbabwe's central bank has announced that three zeros will be taken off every banknote to help consumers deal with inflation of almost 1,200%."

"also announced what amounted to a 60% devaluation of the currency."

madness.

there was an exhibition of cows, much like singapore's lions. this one is ultra bizarre, i shall not post the rest, barely 1/3 through all the photos

the proper statue of him and the prince. it's a nice and unique statue. with quotes all around it. found at the corner of Place Bellecour.

now we have a tic-tac-toe in the sky. it's rather pretty actually

more Saint-Exupéry memorabilia, he was from Lyon after all

2600 euro only! i wonder about the condition though

that car is definitely touching the kerb. Ouch.

walked past this abandoned shell of a building. it's fantastic, roofless, front facade with empty window holes, a few inner walls standing, a staircase. and it's in a row of perfectly normal looking houses. interesting discovery

a cute whorl of a lamppost and a cute street lamp, against a clear blue sky streaked with contrails, makes a summer day happy

a row of cars with traffic fines, ladidah

i found this rather amusing. a trishaw on a wagon. so many wheels.
anyway this is 14th June 2006. many many more

a little patch of lavender by the roadside, on the way home. of course not in singapore

Au nom de la rose

name of a florist i think.

a photo of a girl taking a photo of japanimation shop.

where kevin bought some sauce. chinese sauce. there's kikkoman. or whatever. if i rem correctly he was speaking cantonese to the shopkeeper. so i couldnt understand.

shop window

black and white. or maybe clear and white. =]

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, guy dressed in black near the middle, with the little prince. the wall painted with famous lyonnais

lyon from croix-rousse

two rivers visible, and the strip in between. La Saône in the front here, and le Rhone at the back. actually one's left, one's right. but this is a southward view.

couldn't resist taking one of this shop being painted Purple. it's oddly colourful

Place des Terreaux

hm. ok big main square in Lyon. with cafés around, and a nice fountain designed by Statue of Liberty artist. where you can sit down and drink expensive green Perrier water.

the tables are on the left, and upslope we have this table tennis table. i dunno why this restaurant comes with table tennis. you can borrow the bats and ball, but need to deposit identity card. very fun place for kids

frizzz, it's fireworks season again

jiaxin being happy

starburst

at National Day Parade Preview. got invited at the last minute to go and watch. surprisingly short performance, and tiring, but it was fun enough.
and my photo is off coz the planes came from almost behind me.

the only photo (of that folder) with my face in it. first time wearing my Impossible Is Nothing shirt. i love that shirt
