I discovered this handsome door when I left the Robert Mapplelthorpe exhibition at the Rodin Museum last month.
The building is the residence of the ambassador of Columbia to France. I love the colors of bright yellow, Royal blue, and red of the Colombian flag waving against the neutral limestone.

My tour clients come from all over the world, from New Zealand to New Jersey. My first clients from Malaysia, Suan and Fiona, who are sisters, were so kind and brought me a yummy food gift. Tau sah peah or Tambun biscuits are savory round dry flaky biscuits filled with mung beans and shallots. They are from a famous for shop, Him Heang, which makes the best tau sah peah in the city of Penang.
