  • Sixty Million Frenchmen Can’t Be Wrong

    **** I just finished Sixty Million Frenchmen Can’t Be Wrong: Why We Love France but Not the French. Apart from the title, I found it really interesting. And actually, I think the authors love the French as well, even if sometimes they are delighted with them the way you would be watching monkeys sling shit…

  • Night Swimming

    Actually, we’ve only gone during the day, but there are some municipal pools open at night. We’ve discovered the Parisian pool system. There are three to four pools withing walking distance from our house, and many others that we could access with a short ride on the metro. We bought a card for ten entries…

  • Le Moving

    Last night I went to a gym, le Moving, where they have salsa nights on Fridays and Saturdays. Classes started around 9h30 though I think they were slated to start at 9. The entrance fee was 12€ plus 2€ for the vestiare. Drinks and snacks were included in that price. Watery sports drinks or sugary…

    I tried salsa dancing for the first time last sunday at L’Atelier.

  • “Non” a la Constitution European

    Generally, Paris voted to ratify the Constitution, but not my neighborhood. Pinched between a university and low income housing towers, my neighborhood is comprised of exactly the demographic that pushed the Non to a 10% victory. The dog park perspective They are elated. They are throwing parties, and ostracizing friends who voted Oui. I am…

  • Le Promeneur du Champ de Mars

    J’ai vu Le Promeneur du Champ de Mars au MK2 Odéon. J’ai trouver l’histoire du jeune journaliste un peu pénible, mais en même temps nécessaire pour donner perspectif a l’histoire du François Mitterrand. J’ai trouvée c’est petit phrase le plus impressionnant du film. “Quelle est la couleur de la France? Non pas la couleur politique…

  • Madhat Kakei

    Julien and I went to the Swedish cultural center where we had a brunch of soup and split a sandwich. My orange saffron cake was delicious and the surprise of meeting le vieux et Yolene (sp?) was very pleasant. Hugo was incapacitated at home with a terrible flu that he would pass to me just…
