First News out of Paris

Good evening! I managed to revive the old computer after numerous attempts, and surprisingly, changing the time zone was key to accessing some of my most trusted programs, including this one.

After spending five full days in Paris, there's much to share about the Sponsor Collecting efforts—more details to come on that front, or rather, rear.

I also had the chance to drop by the Alibaba site on the Champs-Elysees, and the experience was delightful. Wearing the pin vest might have helped, but regardless, it's a visit I highly recommend if you're in town for the Olympic or Paralympic games.

As you can see from the image above, this stands at the entrance counter to the pavilion, and it represents all tje great cities of the world, and although the glass through the picture off a bit, it still makes for a lovely piece, and would love to get my hands on that, (fat chance, but one can dream can’t they). Going through the exhibit, it imagines, how one will present themselves in the future through tele conferencing in a lively and entertaining way, and also change shopping for personal items the same way. The line was not long, and you moved through smoothly. Will update this with the image they sent later, but look at it this way, the pig looked better than me in lipstick.

But the best part of it was they offered a pin, with a choice of two at the end, (which I’ll be posting later as well).

From this interaction, I can truly say not only was it an enjoyable experience, but seeing I was a pin trader as well, the on duty staff that was on duty should be commended for their kindness and professionalism. They took about 8 or 9 pictures with me as I moved through so needless to say, I wish I could go back but would never abuse the privilege so to speak.
