If we took a holiday...

If we took a holiday...

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

If i could turn back time...

Yesterday morning, i was picking up my laundry from the rack outside my window, when i dropped a pair of funky boxer shorts – you know, the silvery silky ones – which happened to end up on my downstairs neighbour’s rack. i was facing a dilemma: going straight away – at 7am! – to my neighbour’s to ask for my underwear, or wait until i co

Les sirènes du port d'alexandrie...

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

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

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

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,

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

Huh, huh, this my sh*t, this my sh*t...

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

Just don't let the good life pass you by...

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

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
