Centre Pompidou is Wi-Fi
We visited Centre Pompidou earlier this week. While we didn't make it through a lot of the peices, it was amazing. When I was here years ago I did not have the chance to go to Pompidou though I really wanted to see it. When we came up from the Metro, there it was, larger than life. I almost cried as cheesy as that is. I realized THIS is why *I* came to Paris, to finally see this place. I had been waiting since i was 15. I love this place. The kids loved it too. It was bedtime so their attention didn't last long. We went into this room with soft relaxing music. Inside it was pink. Pink lights, fuschia flashing lights, white sheets gently blowing on the side of the room and a big read high heel shoe. The kids loved it, Byron was perplexed. We sat and discussed how stimuli works in the brain. This was a combination of almost contrasting stimuli. If there had been techno music it might have elicited feelings of stress. Sicne the music was relaxing and the sheets were gently blowing being in there was relaxing despite the fuschia flashing lights and gawdy overall colors. We are planning to go back. James might even like to go. Outside is a big open cement area. venders are there, people picnic, we even saw throat singers and people surf the net as Pompidou is wi-fi throughout. And they are very clear abou their wifi status as shown by the picture.

Centre Pompidou is wi-fi, and George Bush is not punk rock.
