Breizh Café

as Le Figaro says:
Genre : Régional
Cuisine : Bretonne
Spécialité : Bio, Crêpes, Poissons – Fruits de mer
Traditionnel mais tendance, sous-titré non sans humour « La crèpe autrement », c’est le concept du Breizh Café, le coin breton à la mode fraichement débarqué en 2007. Ici pas de rustique mais plutôt du bois clair. En cuisine, on utilise [...]

Fête de Fierté | Gay Pride

la gay pride. in a city as gay as paris, how bad can it be. it was about the celebration of gay-ness, anti-discrimination, anti-AIDS and stuff like that. jumped in at ST-Michel and caught the parade going throug the streets. what a noisy street party. the funny thing is, i’m so used to manifestations that [...]

le 19 juin

Today is the 19th of June. Let’s just go by time. The day started off with me watching Friends until 9am (SG Time). Actually I was watching Jennifer Aniston. Anyway I can’t find anything compelling to do to make me want to go to sleep to prepare for the next day. Then I woke up [...]

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 the problem is that there’s another (major) strike on 22 May. LINK. but [...]
