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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
