I was so sad last night because
Netherlands didn’t win the semi-final. What a pity!!!
Back to today. We went to a
counterfeit museum in the morning. I had seen a lot of counterfeit products
when I was in China. But this museum still shocks me. There are so many things
that I never see before such as fake medicines. There is a story. When I was a high school student, my friends
buy a pair of Nike basketball shoes. The merchant sold him a real shoe and a
fake shoe. He let my friend try the real one. When my friend bought it, the
merchant put the fake one in the box. I just want to anyone who is watching
this blog know the way that how merchant cheat costumers and be sure to try the
both shoes.
In the afternoon, I went to the Avenue
des Champs-Élysées and Arc de triomphe. I saw them in the movies and books
before. I heard that it is the last stage of the Tour de France has finished on
the Champs-Élysées since 1975, with riders typically making six to eight
circuits back and forth on the avenue, with a furious final sprint. The
subsequent awards ceremony also takes place directly on the Avenue. About the
arc de triomphe, it is one of the most influential and distinctive types of
architecture associated with ancient Rome and was used to commemorate
victorious generals or significant public events such as the founding of new
colonies, the construction of a road or bridge, the death of a member of the
imperial family or the accession of a new emperor.
Tomorrow we are going to see a
fashion show. As the capital city of fashion, there are so many fashion shows
in July. But I have never seen a fashion show before. I am really looking
forwards to it.
