• New Year's Eve
• Fri. Dec, 31^st 2004

For this last dinner of 2004, the French chefs we are sometimes have decided to make a huge dinner. Like we did last year, in fact. So, we spent hours (4 on thursday) in supermarkets finding all the local products which would complete ours (imported from France in our luggages) and almost all the Friday in our kitchens preparing the most we can (in order to relax during dinners).
So, we were 10 at Clement's new flat: Clement (of course), Cedric and Camilla, Francois (directly arrived from Franc... [Read]

• Panora's 2004 end
• Sat. Dec, 18 2004

The day after the Ad Lib party at Panora that Sam, David and I attended to, the Panora had his last party of the year. In more, that party was The Gabb, a label for definitively good party. However, to enhance the feeling, we had a Raclette (thanks to David's tools) at home. That was such a good idea because the last one I ate was in Amiens, so, that is more than two years ago... Ouuuf, I'm getting old...
So, I invited some good fellows to join and even Nina and Amanda (two girls from Lugi rug... [Read]

• Le fil du rasoir
• Fri. Dec, 17 2004

Because Cedric heard about it and also because it is pretending to be a French brasserie (for those who don't know what a brasserie is exactly like, I would say it is a French caf?, with the particularity to have several types of beers and also the possibility for any customer to eat whatever the time) -and we are French too- we had to go there. So, in order to be sure to enjoy our Friday dinner, we booked a table for six. The head waitress welcomed us warmly and, waiting for our table to... [Read]

• Blues
• Thu. Dec, 16 2004

Strangely, I have realised that, since I have booked my ticket for Japan (and received the tickets), my mind is already there. And there, that's quite far from Sweden... If you add, above everything, some boring jobs with delay and the terrific impression that nobody takes care of your work, you are at the half of how I feel...

Fortunately, with such time of wandering, I found some good sites on the Internet which made me laugh or discover new horizons... And maybe, that's a good thing.

• Plums
• Sat. Dec, 11 2004

I spent most of that Saturday with Scoob aka Cédric. For, we made some shopping together in order him to build his mini-car and me (and him too, finally), to cook the dinner we would have together before reaching the Panora, and the last Intensified ever. So, leisurely, we drove around Malm? and were back at 5PM to start cooking. We were perfectly synchronised with Bond, James bond, starting at 7. So, we ate watching this incredible English agent causing hundreds of thousands pounds of da... [Read]

• Back to Japan
• Thu. Dec, 9 2004

This morning, I have booked my flight. So, I'll leave Copenhagen on February 23rd to Paris where I'll stay until February 25th to make some shopping: JR Railpass and others omiyage for my hosts and friends. Then I'll go to Japan until March 15th evening...
Now, the only thing I have to think about is certainly the trips inside the country. I don't know perfectly yet where I'll go to inside the country; normally, Tokyo, Kyoto, Kamakura, Hiroshima and certainly some other places like Iseshima or ... [Read]

• 日本語能力試験
• Sun. Dec, 5 2004

That's it. The test is behind me now. So, what to think? Not a lot of thing, unfortunately. For, it seems I won't have my 3kyuu this year again... But, I just have to complain to myself. I think my preparation wasn't efficient enough. Not serious enough, in fact. However, it was not so easy to study every nights after work. Whatever, I'll work better this year (especially with 3 weeks in Japan, next February - personal message: thanks to Makoto -) and I'll try again (and again?). The objective: ... [Read]

• Coming back to Paris
• Fri. Dec, 3^rd 2004

Taking the opportunity of being back to Paris for some days, we organised a dinner with everybody (during some hours, we were expected to be 22) at the famous Caf? Commerce, Paris. This big meeting took place on Friday night from 8PM to 1AM and I think that, thanks to good dishes, good Beaujolais and nice atmosphere, everyone enjoyed. In more, origins were mixed: friends from ESIEE, from Sweden (phd was with us), from high school and Yuki, for her first French week-end without jetlag.
A really ... [Read]
