I can't relate to my peers

nobody@vox.com(Ukifune) — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 15:17:13 +0000

Yesterday morning I woke up and took a walk to L'Arc de Triomphe, which is about a 10 minute walk away from my house. It's my favorite monument in France. Later, our class went on a field trip to L'Opera Garnier. It was really beautiful inside. ...

Europeans need more English-speaking friends

nobody@vox.com(Rottin' in Denmark) — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 06:50:06 +0000

Surely someone at an organization as large and well-organized as 'Paris Foot Gay' had a buddy from Minnesota or whatever, someone they could ask 'hey, is it normal in English to just name your human rights organization three vaguely related nouns...

What a lovely book this is. The main character is Claude Reynaud, a French dressmaker and designer, who lives in Senlis, about 30 miles outside Paris. Claude is a man born years too late - he has not embraced modern design methods, or refuses ...

Renault Laguna Coupé: elegant and ﬂuid

nobody@vox.com(Jack Yan) — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 05:38:43 +0000

Renault also showed its Laguna Coupé at the Paris salon, although Lucire first reported on the car when Renault boss Carlos Ghosn drove one to Cannes. Here are two videos: one from a Monaco launch and another showing two Laguna Coupés in action.

Opel Insignia Sport Tourer launched at Paris

nobody@vox.com(Jack Yan) — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 22:39:19 +0000

Opel has launched the estate version of its Insignia saloon at the Paris Salon. It’s a smart-looking vehicle and if Holden New Zealand wasn’t such a bunch of idiots treating consumers as shoppers at the Warehouse, we’d have it, too, and the compan...

I want a Renault Mégane Coupé

nobody@vox.com(Jack Yan) — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 13:57:43 +0000

I want one of these. Based on the styling alone, I want one of these. And you know, with all the cars I can drive, it takes a lot for me to lust after a car. I already own a Mk I Mégane Coupé and since Renault did not make a Mk II (at least ...

New Tattoo, Crying with CocaCola, Fuck France

nobody@vox.com(Ukifune) — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 20:45:41 +0000

Today was a busy day! My first day as a retired (for now) hostess. I went to get my tattoo at this place near Tabata station. My Israeli room mate came with me; she's an artist and helped me draw my initial design. It was a beautiful house and t...

How French Women are Impossibly French, Entre Nous

nobody@vox.com(Pearl in Paris) — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 08:25:19 +0000

After writing Tuesday's post about French reading, I started to think further about the many, many books that have popped up in the last five years--almost exclusively for women-- about "being French." This isn't a new cultural phenomenon for A...

Paris reading--required?

nobody@vox.com(Pearl in Paris) — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 12:33:06 +0000

After last week's visit to Galignani and this weekend's visit to W.H. Smith, I am certain there are more books about "living French" than about any other culture in the modern world. This includes books by French authors about their own culture ...
