PS I really miss Paris -- and Europe. It's been a decade since I stepped into continent Europe. And it'll probably be some time more before I head there again, especially since I am going on an austerity drive. The newly-wedded cousin is headed to Paris in end Jan to cover the haute couture shows of some of the iconic fashion houses such as Chanel, Christian Dior ... in the Lourve! So green with envy! Afterwards, headed to Switzerland for the honeymoon. Even greener now ;->
