At this very kerb, I learnt my very first lesson in this country. People here are very direct. VERY. Don't feel insulted then, when they offend your finer asian tendencies. Boo. They're still generally good at heart though, and try their best to help you when you do need help.
The Palace of The Legion of Honour was well worth the trek down to the other end of the island. Paintings, sculptures, Trojan amphorae, decorative art. I'm not about to bore you with the details of the exhibits and my uneducated opinions on them, so here are the pictures!
One thing I cannot help noticing though. The eyes. Look at the eyes of the saint in the painting and of the boy that is the sculpture.
Haunting isn't it? Just looking at the photo makes my hair stand.
Now it just wouldn't do to end of this post like that won't it? So, say hello to the double chin! Oh and I'm sorry Liang but when I saw this amphora I couldn't help but draw certain parallels.
on a side note, banana republic here doesn't have the invisible socks.=( I did however, get a pair of loafer socks. No more olfactory assaults when wearing the blue pair of deck shoes!
