The rest of february was not very exciting and i’m afraid i don’t have much to say... on saturday 11th, marie-eve and i went to a spanish night in a random bar in town, as we are both quite keen on the spaniards, with their dark looks and their charming accent... it did feel like being in spain, as everyone around us was speaking spanish, and e

So where was i ?... oh yes, our trip to dahab! what a great experience… when we arrived at our hotel on tuesday 8 february, there were about ten guests, it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves… because of what was happening in cairo, tourists had fled and the hotel staff were feeling quite down. we even found out that most of the emplo

Cheers to the freaking weekend, i drink to that...

On friday 3 february, the school organised a chinese new year staff party at a chinese restaurant near my place. we started off at gabi’s flat, which is in the building next to mine. i’m not sure whether i’ve ever mentioned gabi before: she’s a primary school teacher who works with clare. she’s got a boyfriend, tom, who teaches literature

Can you pay my bills? can you pay my telephone bills?...

Ok, may was a funny month... i started looking for a new flat in the city centre, as i am fed up with living in the south east suburbs where everything seems so far away – except for my school, which is literally down the road! but who wants to live near their workplace?! ugh. on sunday 6 may, i went to the french consulate to vote for our new pr

Over the easter holidays, my mother came to visit. i was really happy to see her and looking forward to our planned holiday cruise on the nile for the next five days. when she first arrived in cairo, i took her to a silver shop where many of my colleagues and i usually go to get some presents for people. what a mistake! my mother is so difficult to

I hope you hang yourself with your h&m scarf...

On saturday 10 march, marie-eve and i were having a lovely meal at a tapas bar, when marie-eve received a text message and started some frantic texting while laughing her head off. as i was inquiring about it all, she explained that a male colleague of hers had seen some pictures of me on the internet and was keen on meeting me... i was flattered b

It sucks to be me...

Now, the day my mother left, i realised how shit life is to me... oh no, not because she left and i was sad about it, but because i had a “domestic accident” on the very same night she had just gone, and god knows i could have done with someone being there with me. here’s what happened: on the day she left, my friend marianne called and asked

Now, you may wonder what happened after my trip to mount sinai – or not. well, i’ll tell you anyway. as mubarak resigned and things started to get back to normal in cairo, our school reopened. isabelle, my flatmate, came back from canada on friday 25 february, only to pack her bags and leave for good the next week, as she had experienced modern

Hey ! first of all, a very happy new year to you all! i hope you had a great time over the holidays. ok, i haven’t written for ages but my life was rather dull at the end of last year… after my funky trip to the western desert, i only spent another weekend away to the white desert and the black desert, and that was about it. for those of you wh

No, i’m not gonna watch you, ‘cause i’m not the one that’s crazy…

Today i felt very out of place in shanghai... first, clare, marie-eve and i went to the annual shanghai design art and fashion fair which took place along the river banks. the three of us were looking forward to finding out about the cool stuff happening in the city... and as soon as we arrived, i was like wtf?! the place was full of tw*ts who were
