berlin

after a hectic checkout from Lila, i’m now homeless in paris. omg that is so scary.
so it’s an overnight train to berlin. i suppose jx is pretty excited about it all, having seen fewer trains and stuff. nice trains. a largely uneventful sleep where we were both so tired from touring paris and stuff. it [...]

beach volleyball and free condoms

so that’s what happened today!!!
frankly i preferred watching the guys play, it was way more exciting volleyball wise. AND they do not keep on doing stupid hugs and whatnot. not so much. girls have such an obsessive need for support and consolation. and they can’t jump properly, can’t serve properly, can’t spike properly. no wonder [...]

prénom

do you think my name sounds like “Jean-Louis”? haha. i wonder how that came to mind last night. “Jean-Oui” doesnt make much sense. “J’ennuie” perhaps.
now can you make any sense of this. *faints*. well yes you’re going to say that’s quite understandable, but how about having to write that out yourself
Le complexe RAG se lie [...]

scraps of paper

[recording some stuff that i found, i suppose i wrote them on the ferry across the Channel. the waterbody currently blockaded by protesting french fishermen. i thought trade blockades only happened in starwars]
In the dead of the night, on the dark waters with the gulls illuminated in the orange lights. A sleep broken.
If I had [...]

why paris is romantic

my answer used to be “because it’s paris”, that it is a dream that feeds on itself, but now perhaps i can start to see how so.

it is a great city. high population density, high cultural intensity, and the focus of an entire nation republic. [they always refer to themselves as republic]
but it’s a quiet [...]

l on don

complicated nonsensical thoughts are probably not very popular. so let’s talk about the british. well manchester united won the champions league. well chelsea lost, i’m glad, i don’t like their attitude, especially that drogba, haha nice red card. and i like giggs, there aren’t many nice guys in the world.
so i happened to be in [...]

Se ville

Sevilla, or seville, probably the most visited place in Andalucia, España. A great pity that I only spent a day there, and less than 24 hours. It’s simply so pretty.
the day starts off with a train ride from Granada. and then feeling loss at the train station. well the station was lovelyly modern and pretty [...]

granada

i still wonder what’s with granada espada, but nvm.
granada, a town in Andalucia which almost everyone hasn’t heard of before. have you? greatest thing there is the Alhambra arabian palace. nice small town, not big in size, but not lacking in amenities either. the centre looks modern enough. it has all the named spanish shops [...]

weird rants

why do ppl in the UK drive on the wrong side of the road. come on, the entire europe and 2/3 of the world drive on the right side.
secondly, their coins are so ugly. gosh, the coins are small, fat and heavy. and ugly. the euro coins are more ergonomical and much much prettier. [...]

Fête de la Victoire 1945 (WWII Victory Day)
