I’ve just come back from fantastic holidays in the western desert, between egypt and libya. marie, marie-christine, mario and i started with el alamein – where the second world war famous battle took place. all the cemeteries and battle remains are quite depressing there but the mediterranean seaside is gorgeous and you feel like you’re in so
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
At the copa, copacabana, the hottest spot, north of havana...
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
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
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
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
In april, my mother came to visit for two weeks. we started with shanghai, as i hadn’t had the opportunity to visit the touristiest bits of the city yet. on sunday 1 april, we went to the world financial centre – which is the fourth tallest building in the world – and we had the scariest – and most embarrassing! – experience ever... once
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
On saturday 16 june, marie-eve and i went to shanghai’s gay pride. now i stop you right before you start picturing half naked men on floats!... we’re in china! yes, they’re ‘tolerant’ enough to allow a gay pride, but indoors please! no demonstration, thanks!... which means that what they refer to as gay pride, is only a gay night in an op
On friday 9 march, gaby invited me to her birthday party, which took place in a bar called oscar’s. i thought it was really nice of her and i was more than happy to go along... that was until i entered the place: oscar’s is a bloody sports bar! wtf?! who has their birthday party in a sports bar?! we spent the evening standing at the bar – bec
