While you get something, it’s also the moment that you loose something else in the other way.
That’s what I lived for today: I had finally got my little nestle, I live from now on “in my home”… the same day, after spending 5 hours on a long distance phone call, the half of me still [...]

Findings on my way

I had driven a lot these days. Noticed several interesting things on my way.
First, the big advertising boards everywhere with a very simple white background, written: N’AYEZ PAS PEUR ( Not to have fears). Very nice marketing idea… I do not know how many people could guess the connection between this advertising, and ……………………

My first TV live show in France

Inside a loft near the Seine River, after being away from my last TV show in China for almost 7 years, I appeared in French TV. How could I imagine this day? I could not speak even one word when I arrived in France in December 2000!
We were three, in a very famous show in [...]

City Hall cocktail vs the little Shandong restaurant

When I arrived in the gate of City Hall,I saw police everywhere, there were already people getting out, with purple flowers on the chest, as every year.

a St Valentine’s Day with people who do not celebrate it

Chirac arrived tonight for the official diner with his wife and daughters, lots of African leaders luckily, (or unfortunately:-)))) with their wives, but most of the people that night in the Palace [...]
