Diner au "Restaurant dans le noir"

Have you ever wondered how it would feel to be blind? What if you had to go through an entire diner without even seeing what you eat? This is the principle of what the "Restaurant dans le noir" (Restaurant in the dark) offers, an amazing and unique experience of dining in total darkness! Interesting thing to notice is that the waiters are blind. This is the best shot we got from the evening:

Among the many crazy things that happened during the diner, one of them was that Ira got an apetizer instead of the desert he had ordered! Funny how even the waiters get confused :) Definitely a great experience, and one to recommend for a "blind date" ! (uh uh, funny!)

Soirée improvisée à PAAAris...

Arrival in Paris and we go straight to an comedian improvisation game. This is a great experience, the two teams compete on different themes and have to improvise the scenes. The public votes and a funny referee has to call the winning team based on the votes. People who disagree with the ref can throw a slipper at him :)

Next in la Butte aux Cailles, a nice little quarter in the 13th. We find a restaurant called les Gladines! Tried to get free food, claiming that Gladine is really an name evolution of Glading and that Alice owns the brand... did not work! The food was excellent though...southwest and Pays Basque, can't go wrong with that.... !

Finally we meet with my friend Gilles and his pal, and we got to Maxim's, no less! A fun evening that ends around 6AM.... wow, the song says "5AM, Paris s'éveille", but we go to sleep after that...luckily tomorrow is Sunday...
