Well my adventure as a white man in Harlem, or rather a chinaman in Saint-Malo is over. It is a nice little town with a lot of sun, surf and beach. Originally, I was thinking that I should have spent another day there, but now I do not think that is necessary. Anyways, I am back in Paris and now staying near the red light district, otherwise known as Pigalle. I visited the Moulin Rouge and Sacre Coeur, and I have to say that Sacre Coeur is a neat area to be around. If you look past the tourist stuff, it is very grassroots and interesting.

Since the Sacre Coeur is on a hill, you have a great view of the city; along with a lot of tourists. After exploring a bit, I found that you could climb up to the dome of the church, so I did that (like 300 steps!) and had a great unobstructed view. They say that it is the second highest view in Paris (1^st being Eiffel Tower), but I think it is the best. No lineup!

Anyways, staying around here is rather odd. Walking around, you have various people coming up to you as you pass and following you in an attempt to draw business for their club. They are pretty aggressive, and similar to the vendors in China.

Also, if you notice, I did not use on apostrophe in this post. Why? because I cannot find it on the keyboard…(recently found the question mark though).
