Paris January 2009

While I join our gang of four to discuss physics, my crew will tour around Paris for the largest exhibition of Picasso.

Amazing Race 2008

Our trip to Europe this year is within 3 weeks with schedule and detail settling down. Burgundy, Lake Geneva, Swiss Interlaken, French Alps, Cinque Terra of Italy and of course, the Cote d'Azure.

Le Festin - Car rien n’est gratuit dans la vie

We had a little festivity with fried and rotisserie chickens before watching the movie Ratatouille (a story of a little rat chef in Paris) in our town's ball park last night. The movie itself sponsered by a local dental office was free; except that mosquitoes also had their share of feast on us "Car rien n’est gratuit dans la vie" (because nothing is free in life).

It's a lovely song from the movie soundtrack - Le festin (Ratatouille) by Camille Dalmais.

Planing the Amazing race 2008

It's gonna be Switzerland, Italy and France through Alps and Côte d'Azur.

The images of our journey:

Heureux qui, comme Ulysse, a fait un beau voyage

We caught Ridan's Ulysse, the theme song of our Amazing Race 2007, on the radio "Europe 2". We didn't understand its lyrics (in French) and haven't read the novel Ulysses by James Joyce either. It resonated mysteriously as we drove through little villages in southern France.
"Heureux qui, comme Ulysse, a fait un beau voyage" (Blessed who, like Ulysse, made a beautiful journey).
