Paris 2

I was traveling Paris last weekend. I saw beautiful Christmas lighting up.



Inside the department store, there is a huge Christmas tree and fancy presents are hang down from the dome shaped ceiling.



Outside the department store, there are many fancy window displays. The theme of this year is "ginger bread". All displays have ginger breads.




BTW, did you know there is a "Statue of Liberty" in Paris?

WHY?

I keep working as a marketing researcher on phone. Last Thursday I ringed a world famous company; at first my phone connected to “customer service” and she put me through “human resource” and she told me she put me through “communication service”. I didn’t get why “communication service” so I asked “I’m doing marketing research and do I have to speak with communication service?” then she said “I’m afraid so” and she put me through there. “Communication service” told me that I should contact "fleet service" and hung it up. Oh dear, I didn't know the phone or extension number of "fleet service" so I ringed “customer service” once again and asked to put me through "fleet service" then she said she could put me through "switch board" and I could ask him/her to put me through "fleet service" so I did it eventually my phone connected to a fleet manager however it was a voice message service. It was wasting time.

Halloween the third year

It’s been the third time for me to spend Halloween in Manchester. I’m gradually getting used to this custom and finally I was invited Halloween party this year.
Unfortunately I didn’t bring my favourite Ninja costume which I put on at Halloween party in Japan and in America. I needed to find something and went to “One pound shop”. I bought a “Glitter Fashion Poncho” which wasn’t scary but it was matching with my funny sun glasses very well.
One of participants put some boxes in the following photo on his shirt. At first sight I didn’t get the meaning. Do you have any clue?

It’s a serial killer (cereal killer). I like it!
