-monaco-


date taken : july 2009
location : monaco


A short day trip to Monaco, which i had high expectations at first, for it is always in my mind that it would somehow be the Palm Beach or Las Vegas of Europe....minus the flamboyance and extravagance.... however....it was definitely a letdown....a small city, so dense yet so lack of spirit....

Of course, the high amount of ports, luxury yachts ....posh cars.... also the continuous flow of helicopters transporting high profile people are overwhelming....however, the city itself doesn't reflect that at all.....it's a city stuck in the 70's... architecture is strictly LeCorbusier's machine metaphor....take no offense...i love LeCorb, but the city is really lack of maintenance......so contradicting with its high class profile.

well.....it's getting really late...to be continued...
