Today just managed to ride out from the many busy roads of Paris - A real big city! The ride was also delayed by a morning shower rain which lasted for almost an hour but was happy to see the sun after that.Armed with a city map,following the road to the Concord and the Arc de Triomphe Etoile. The Malaysian Embassy was just next to the Porte de Malloit.While our Mr Ambassador was busy in the meeting , a very friendly Encik Khazali ( 3rd secretary ) was there to welcome me from his busy workload.He brought me to a nearby restaurant for a chicken sandwich and a hot coffee.He also presented a cap,2 souvenir pins with the flags of Malaysia & France and also a very special heartwarming gift.Terima kasih Meng ucapkan atas kehospitaliti anda. Not forgetting also Cik Rogayah and Major Fadzilah, once again Thank You very much!!!!!
