As a continuation of my previous post, today's post is about my visit to the Centre Pompidou, specifically the Musée National d'Art Moderne, on "Free Museum Sunday," aka the first Sunday of the month. The child of an architectural competition, the Centre Pompidou is dynamic, bright, and bold. The unforgiving steel frames against the rounded [...]
Paris has an overwhelming number of museums, which can become extremely pricey if you want to visit many of them. Thankfully, on the first Sunday of every month, a ton of museums offer free admission, and that, my friend, is when you should hit the town.

Located in 20th arrondissement, Père-Lachaise is often overlooked by tourists because it is far from the center from Paris. After visiting, however, I feel [...]
After class on Tuesday, I decided to go to a department store with a couple of friends for lunch. As much as I love arms-length baguettes, I needed some more variety in my diet. So, we headed to Le Bon Marche, a department store in Paris. Its name (which translates to "good market") is an incredible understatement, [...]
