It’s now over, and I can give a shot on my impressions: first, I think it was really a huge expo, maybe the biggest one in France, with thousands of visitors and hundreds of stands. All japanase comics editors were present, also DVD editors, but the most interessant aspect (according to me) was the presence of many fanzines writers and also many cultural stands, showing demonstrations of japanese traditions.

Just wanted to talk about the last book I read: it is The Good Earth (La Terre Chinoise), from Pearl Buck.

I really enjoyed reading it, and I haven’t seen the time passing by while in the train (took me 8 hours to read it).

So, if you’re looking for some special reading, then I will recommand you this book. You can read the summary, taken from Wikipedia:

Story summary

This week-end I am going to Paris to attend to the Japan Expo 2006 edition.

It is a huge event gathering many people around the Japan, its culture, japanese comics, movies, music, food …

Being a big fan of japanese comics since I am 12 years old: I currently have in my collection more than 1200 japanese comics !, I couldn’t miss this event !

I will post photos of the event when I come back.

I am really eager to go, I should see many friends there and so many animations !

Geez

Tiens, un post un français ?

Oui, mais là l’exception est justifiée: un peu de chauvinisme ne fait pas de mal, et la France étant en finale je me permets de lui exprimer tout mon soutien dimanche ! Voilà qui est dit.

Alors, allez les bleus, faites nous rêver encore une fois !

Non, pas ces bleus là voyons, ceux-là:

Ah oui j’oubliais, dimanche je veux vivre ça sur les Champs Elysées:

Allez les bleus !!!

It seems that the results of the TOEIC Test I have passed in June are now available. Though I have not received yet the official paper attesting of my score, according to the language department of my school, I got the mark of 930 !
That’s cool, isn’t it ?

This afternoon, I got a headache after coding this site all the morning, so I decided to make a pause and go for a walk.

I never said it before, but I like walking, particularly in the hills and walking/climbing in the nature is my favorite activity.

Now that I am back home in Toulon, I can enjoy once again the pleasure of walking. The place I went is called Chateauvallon, it is an easy ride: it took me less than 1 hour to reach the top of the hill, but it was a bit dangerous at the end because I was walking on unstable rocks.
