Let it shine, just let it shine...

Let it shine, just let it shine...

Ok, so what’s happened since the last time i wrote something on this blog?... which was like 25 years ago! well, in may we had our 4 days long weekend for labour day and marie-eve and i decided to go to hainan – a chinese island in the south china sea. we arrived on the friday evening in sanya – the main island resort – and were really impr

In my desperate attempt to see everything i can in egypt before i f*** off for good – oh yes, i can’t wait! – marie-eve, mario and i went to alexandria last weekend, as none of us had ever been there and it’s meant to be a cool egyptian city... well at least, it’s got history. anyway, what was meant to be a lovely day trip ended up being

If i could turn back time...

Yesterday morning, i was picking up my laundry from the rack outside my window, when i dropped a pair of funky boxer shorts – you know, the silvery silky ones – which happened to end up on my downstairs neighbour’s rack. i was facing a dilemma: going straight away – at 7am! – to my neighbour’s to ask for my underwear, or wait until i co

The rest of february was not very exciting and i’m afraid i don’t have much to say... on saturday 11th, marie-eve and i went to a spanish night in a random bar in town, as we are both quite keen on the spaniards, with their dark looks and their charming accent... it did feel like being in spain, as everyone around us was speaking spanish, and e

No, i’m not gonna watch you, ‘cause i’m not the one that’s crazy…

Today i felt very out of place in shanghai... first, clare, marie-eve and i went to the annual shanghai design art and fashion fair which took place along the river banks. the three of us were looking forward to finding out about the cool stuff happening in the city... and as soon as we arrived, i was like wtf?! the place was full of tw*ts who were

Over the easter holidays, my mother came to visit. i was really happy to see her and looking forward to our planned holiday cruise on the nile for the next five days. when she first arrived in cairo, i took her to a silver shop where many of my colleagues and i usually go to get some presents for people. what a mistake! my mother is so difficult to

Can you pay my bills? can you pay my telephone bills?...

Ok, may was a funny month... i started looking for a new flat in the city centre, as i am fed up with living in the south east suburbs where everything seems so far away – except for my school, which is literally down the road! but who wants to live near their workplace?! ugh. on sunday 6 may, i went to the french consulate to vote for our new pr

I've got soul but i'm not a soldier...

Hello everyone this one should be quite long, as i have not written for a while and a lot has happened since my last post, as you may have heard on the news – unless you were hibernating or you are just plain sh*t. everything started on tuesday 25 january. while the first protests were occurring in the streets of cairo, my flatmate (isabelle)’s
All my people on the floor...

All my people on the floor...

Now, you may wonder what happened after my trip to mount sinai – or not. well, i’ll tell you anyway. as mubarak resigned and things started to get back to normal in cairo, our school reopened. isabelle, my flatmate, came back from canada on friday 25 february, only to pack her bags and leave for good the next week, as she had experienced modern

And it feels like i'm seventeen again...

Ok, i have been pretty lazy lately, i haven’t written here for ages. sorry about this. i have found that in this country you tend to have mood swings every other day. sometimes you just feel you are having the time of your life, and sometimes the only thing you want to do is take the first plane to europe (aka the land of sanity). two weeks ago,
