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

Ok, so what’s happened since the last time i wrote something on this blog?... which was like 25 years ago! well, in may we had our 4 days long weekend for labour day and marie-eve and i decided to go to hainan – a chinese island in the south china sea. we arrived on the friday evening in sanya – the main island resort – and were really impr

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

In my desperate attempt to see everything i can in egypt before i f*** off for good – oh yes, i can’t wait! – marie-eve, mario and i went to alexandria last weekend, as none of us had ever been there and it’s meant to be a cool egyptian city... well at least, it’s got history. anyway, what was meant to be a lovely day trip ended up being

And it feels like i'm seventeen again...

Ok, i have been pretty lazy lately, i haven’t written here for ages. sorry about this. i have found that in this country you tend to have mood swings every other day. sometimes you just feel you are having the time of your life, and sometimes the only thing you want to do is take the first plane to europe (aka the land of sanity). two weeks ago,

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

What's the name of the game? does it mean anything to you?...

On tuesday 7 february, the school organised a pub quiz night for staff. some of you out there know very well how keen i am on taking part in this kind of shit, and so when david – the spanish teacher – asked me to be part of his team, i almost wet myself with excitement! now, i must confess that i wasn’t really sure about our team’s potenti

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

I've got soul but i'm not a soldier...

Hello everyone this one should be quite long, as i have not written for a while and a lot has happened since my last post, as you may have heard on the news – unless you were hibernating or you are just plain sh*t. everything started on tuesday 25 january. while the first protests were occurring in the streets of cairo, my flatmate (isabelle)’s

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
