Hongkong model for Kosovo?

Troika ( EU + USA + Russia ) on Kosovo Status to host face-to-face between Belgrade and Pristina delegations in Brussels. It looks nothing to do with China. Ah, no, in the final press conference, we made it half about China.
Here is what happened:
There was no enough audio input any more, so I had no [...]

I start liking this city

As long as I remember, I only hear (from the French people of course) jokes about the Belgium people, plus, comparing to Paris, Barcelona, London, Rome…… Brussels for me used to be only the city for meetings in the EU buildings.
But this trip made me start liking this city.
First of all, could you imagine any [...]

I missed the train

I almost became one of the first arriving passengers from Paris to the whole new St Pancras International train station in the day of the 13th anniversary of Eurostar. I said “ALMOST’’, because I was forced to jump out from the train at the last minute by my Europe and Hongkong directors!
All the security people [...]

Sarkozy’s “state of mind”

During the Summit, when we met a French journalist friend, we would ask each other with a big bad smile: you report more the summit, or more about Sarkozy’s divorce?
Press conference given by the President in the afternoon, almost the same time as the one by the summit presidency.
We were all sitting inside the French [...]

first trip in Lisbon

My first trip in Lisbon.
Informal Europe Union Summit.
Had made a record: the media accredation service spent 4 HOURS to give me my press card because their computer had lost my already confirmed registration! Never had that experience before.
Despite this “computer”problem, I should say that I like this city.The naivety and the kindness of the people, [...]

The sun never sets down

I went to the Duomo Cathedral at 8am this morning for saying goodbye to him, before starting the long day of staying the other side of the square, making numerous live reports.
Since I said this name Pavarotti at least 50 times today in all my reports, including each hour news from 12h to 18h, and [...]

Farewell the “King of high Cs”

The second day after coming back from Venice, I am back again to Italy.
This time the destiny is Modena, more than 175kms from Milano.
Before the morning of 6th September 2007, I’ve never thought that I would visit this city although it is a very old historical one with a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Now I am [...]

The N times in Venice

The city makes me fallen into her magic immediately.
Someone says: That’s a city you always dream of visiting; and if you had visited it, you will always dream of returning.
But it is the first time for me to go there for working… less romantic of course… but I suddenly found that Venice is much bigger [...]

Chambley - Ballons

Dailymotion blogged video

English County Church Concert with the “Royal Couple”

When I met LANG Lang in the reception of BBC, I joked: We Chinese call the “fans” “vermiselle”; the big fans “noodles”, as for me, I think I am a pancake already. He laughed a lot.
For making the long portrait of him, I’ve been followed him in lots of countries in Europe.
This time is very [...]
