PARIS

I went to Paris with one of my best friends Caity recently and had the best time. She had a Comic Con appearance and asked me to come with her so for once it wasn’t a work trip and I actually felt like I was on vacation.

We even went to see Moulin Rouge! The show itself was a little outdated but it was an amazing experience to get to see it, and we got to go backstage to meet the dancers which was pretty cool.

We had an amazing dinner at Cipriani’s (the chilean sea bass was the best fish I ever had), and went out to a club to celebrate my friend and I’s birthdays. We had so much fun! Monaco & Monte Carlo is definitely a place worth seeing, …
