Jenn's Paris Adventure: Jakarta, Indonesia
http://parisjenn.blogspot.com/2009/09/jakarta-indonesia.html
Tuesday, September 1, 2009. Unfortunately while in Jakarta I worked quite a bit (yes there IS a downside to travel). Be that as it may, I had a very wonderful dinner with colleagues at Dapur Babah élite. Below are just a few of the meals we enjoyed. In addition to the food, the atmosphere and service was top notch. My eggplant, tofu, and yellow curry dish with a side of satay and rice - very traditional Indonesian. I don't remember what this was, but doesn't it look appetizing? Le Musee de Louvre.

Jenn's Paris Adventure: October 2008
http://parisjenn.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 12, 2008. This is MY recommended list of essential books and movies for understanding French culture. I have personally read/watched each of these and found them entertaining and educational. I recommend these books and movies for anyone who is planning a visit to France or just interested in the French culture. I have spent a lot of time trudging through other. Sources, but if I found them too dry or too fictional they did not make this list. A Year in the Merde. In the Merde for Love.

Jenn's Paris Adventure: Istanbul & Islam
http://parisjenn.blogspot.com/2009/10/istanbul-islam.html
Sunday, October 25, 2009. According to Wikipedia, "Islam is the religion articulated by the Qur'an. An adherent of Islam is a Muslim, meaning "one who submits (to God).". Lucky for me, I was in Istanbul during Ramadan, which is the Islamic month of fasting and prayer. Many people travel to the big mosques in Istanbul during this month, and there are big parties with music and food at night. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Le Musee de Louvre. Cathedrale Notre Dame de Paris. View my complete profile.

Jenn's Paris Adventure: Christianity in Istanbul
http://parisjenn.blogspot.com/2009/12/christianity-in-istanbul.html
Friday, December 11, 2009. Three down and a few more to go. The first two here are of the Church of St. George. In short this is the principal cathedral of the Orthodox Church. And the seat of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople and Ecumenical Patriarch (the head honchos). I cannot wait to go back to this place with my new camera! These next four pictures are of the Church of St. Savior in Chora. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful examples of a Byzantine church. Le Musee de Louvre.

Jenn's Paris Adventure: July 2009
http://parisjenn.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 21, 2009. Tuesday, July 14, 2009. For my lovely Leos out there (you know who you are). Over the course of 4 days I did and saw everything that I wanted to while here. There were definitely a few things I missed that will see when I come back some day. Would like to spend some more time in Eberswalder Strasse, go to the top of the dome in the German Parliament, and see the DDR museum. The German Parliament Building. An older part of the wall. Cecilienhof (location of Potsdam Conference, 1945).

Jenn's Paris Adventure: August 2009

Sunday, August 16, 2009. There is soooooo many wonderful things about this city: the people, culture, weather, food, architecture, and beaches :). Here is how to duplicate my perfect weekend…. 1 day and night in Cascais. 1 day and night in Belém or Alfalma (Lisbon). 1 day and night in Sintra. Cascais is centrally located between all three areas and would be a nice home base, but hotels can be rather pricey; the primary attractions of this seaside town are the quaint and beautiful beaches. Saturday and Tu...
