La musique adoucit les moeurs

January 29th, 2008 by Thomas

Un des gros points positifs de la vie parisienne est l’hyperactivité de la scène musicale, et le nombre incalculable de concerts à voir tous les soirs. Et ça fait plaisir de retrouver cette ambiance, de revoir les habitués de la Maroquinerie et du Nouveau Casino (comme quoi en 2 ans rien n’a réellement changé). J’appréciais Yerevan et les arméniens de Bambir, mais la scène parisienne n’a pas grand chose à leur envier.

Heidelberg

January 16th, 2008 by Thomas

Quelques jours passés à Heidelberg chez Phildar et Carolina avec les potes des Skallumés (groupe-icône culte de toute une génération d’ESSTINinens).

Rien de vraiment phénoménal à raconter, si ce n’est la joie de passer la nouvelle année avec des amis que je n’avais pas vu depuis un bail pour certains et cela faisait énormément plaisir de revoir.Soirée du 31 au concert de Mardi Gras Brass Band (site + myspace) (ils sont vraiment bons, allez les voir si vous pouvez) puis bouffe gargantuesque et puis voilà.

Earlier on this month, I got contacted through Facebook (my profile is here) by an old friend of mine with whom I’ve been travelling to Benin 3 years ago.

The occasion for me to remember these goold old days. Read the rest of this entry »

October 25th, 2007 by Thomas

Paris through my eyes, last month.

Nothing really interesting to tell, still jobhunting, doing some small free lance jobs, thinking about redesigning this blog

Oval planet

Not really another post about the Rugby World Cup, or France who beat All Blacks team yesterday evening. Just all communities from the city of St Denis (home of the Stade de France) partying in the streets.

#2 : Kashan, suffocating
#3 : Esfahan, easy-going, visual, elegant + More pictures
#4 : Shiraz, depressing and austere
#5 : Persepolis, quiet & mystic
#6 : Yazd, arid and luminous
#7 : Tehran, Alternative iranian way of life

Iran #7 : Tehran : Alternative iranian way of life

September 13th, 2007 by Thomas

Tehran. Final (4 days long) step of our trip. We flew from Yazd with Iran Air. Service was good, and flight went smooth. 1h20, 800 kms, 23 US $ (yes yes).

We arrived by night straight to our Hospitality Club host. A really nice guy.

To be honest, I don’t really know what about starting writing…

Iran #5 : Persepolis : quiet & mystic

August 31st, 2007 by Thomas

The main reason we were going to Shiraz was Persepolis, the last remainin ruins from the Achaemenid Empire. About 2 500 years old.

So we left very early in the morning, by public transportation to reach the place. Read the rest of this entry »

Iran #4 : Shiraz : depressing and austere

August 29th, 2007 by Thomas

Without any other transition than a 7 hours bus trip by night, we arrived to Shiraz.

Tough change compared to the Half of the World.
