musée jean moulin

so. i had a spectacular weekend. on friday, i went to the museum with my fashion marketing & merchandising class. the museum was called "Musée Jean Moulin" and there, i saw an exhibit of paris' fashion during the nazi occupation of 1940-44.

it was really interesting. the exhibition basically showed how the french went on with their daily lives despite the nazi occupation. for example, hitler would not allow the french flag to be seen on any thing, personal nor public, let alone waive high in the sky. so, to work around this restriction, french women would sew a red, white and blue interior inside of their hand bags, symbolizing the french flag.

anyway, it was very interesting and worth my getting up at 8am to prepare to go to the campus to meet the class.

afterwards, i was suppose to go to the bon marché as a part of an assignment. but of course i did not quite make it, i got lost. i ended up at marché st. .... (i forgot the street)

but yea, whatever. getting lost isn't too bad...i know how to make my way back home :)

i did hw for the rest of the day :]
