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

It is the story of a peasant family in China in a times of famine, flood, and prosperity. A peasant Wang Lung who lives with his widowed father, marries O-Lan, the homely former slave of a wealthy household, the Hwang Family.

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 !!!

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.

It has been now one week than I came back to Toulon, after living almost 2 years in the suburbs of Paris for my studies.

Hi,

I am inaugurating this blog with this post: yesterday I have seen one of my best friend, Ghislain, who recently moved to Six-Fours (another city in the South of France), and we spend all the afternoon playing in his swimming pool.

I was pleased to talk with him, since it has been a long time we had not seen each other. But I was also very pleased because it was my first bath of the year, but for sure it won’t be the last !
