Voila quelques photos, et bien sûr une petite scène préparée par Isabelle sur des thèmes multiples et variés ! La folie des grandeurs, l'adolescence de Sophie, ses passions, son caractère ont été cités!!

A mourir de rire!

Féria de Béziers 2006..........

Everything started from old souvenirs...and some motivation to look for those pictures!
Some snicky bastards arrived a saturday, a nightmare, young, crazy and don t care about...
A crazy week end until tuesday...starting by Julien (and could have almost be finished)diving into the pool, and he said "yo, this one nobody did it once before today" yes exactly...close to break his neck, they build up the tent, the guys from bretany were missing (fred&vincent) but Mika , poiro, Barbu, Max were present; Anthony joined us on Monday

• Poiro a failli se casser le cou en plongeant dans ma piscine 2 secondes après etre arrivé...ça ne l'a pas empéché de s endormir à la féria, heureusement il avait un plan!
  The first night, we came back by taxi, first since i live in Beziers with karol and Julien...Barbu took 9 hours to come back instead of 24 minutes on feet...so he will explain you..on the next comment!
• Barbu a mis 9 heure s pour revenir à pied chez moi, au lieu de 20 minutes bien vu l ancien!!la nuit commençait pour lui, pas de corrida, mais on l'a retrouvé dans sa hutte en fin de journée... Then we went to a novillada, it was a crazy time to see this bull fight, then we met Jean thomas and memet scholes (not linked) ending the party at 14H30 on the morning, we had a break in Jean thomas' place, then break on sunday....before the big night !!Nico joined us slighly drunk, we had some home made sangria, a barbecue was prepared as well...
• Joel était là, Peter, Olivier, Nico, Ludo, Loic le vieux, Antony...ceci lundi soir...quelques foto, mais c'est rien comparé à tous les souvenirs que nous gardons !!Poiro a fiat très fort ce soir là, merci le concessionnaire Renault !!
  A oui, Patrick dills était là !!

Les fameux passports !! Those saved their life many times!!! I put pictures of our year in Dk, with a map inside of Beziers....to watch...all with their favourites country ! the one of barbu is missing...

Tout s'est bien fini ...à lannée prochaine, je vais au lit...

so our hollidays have started:)

after hard last few months some time to rest a little...

We have made a lot trips by now, starting from 3 week long trip around poland and a piece of ukraine finishin..or not yet;) out stay in france:)
In Poland we have made a cool trip round the south east visiting on the way, kazimierz dolny, zamosc, zwierzyniec, lancut and ustrzyki dolne where i have a familly. From there we have made crazy trip tp lwow:)

ЛЬВІВ (the main trip of these holidays)(of doom)

The departure ... We left at 6H45, i guess, the train was going as fast as a goat in kazakstan,i guess as well, we saw a queue of cars and we understood we were close to european gates...Then Vladimir poutines' neveu came in and picked up evryones' passport, i did not dare or attempting to think about complaining...(ça m'a rappelé mon passage à la frontière polonaise)...et la c'est le drame...j hallucine, he came back and looked at me like Benoit Poolvoerde in le boulet and the officer, cool one, looked at me, i was smiling, but he insisted to check if it was a real one, (i m laughting but iwas not at all at this time), another came back and ask me in Ukrainien something, a couple tried to translate behind but idd not want to be involved and poor karolina tried as far as possible to speak in polish but he said sorry not to speak french or english...he really asked why we were here (to visit wanker) it was not the good path i guess again...and forbid us to take the same train to come back...that means it must be a crazy stuff to see...the path between two countries the in the south in Poland...hidden...bizarre!I really i wont finish the trip alive. And he said ok (i arrange) then we breath out, we made 5 kms more and then (the moon)no(a pink elephant)no, but an empty place, village, like in Kazakstan with borat(the english berry)with huns running after each other (who is their owners??) the couple helped us, a lot!we went to chnge some cash and waited for a wild bus, there is no normal lines in Ukraine...so you must see the fight to climb into a bus, first everything is allowed, elbow in old woman faces, face tackling, forcing...we came in, gave the money from one hand to another..(don t even think about sleeping in there)...we saw roads, another world, so close from here...

we finally reached Lviv train station (4/5 hours to make 90kms)and our friends bogdanandvanillaice had to follow their way to east, more than 20 hours trip to do...amazing!

The first taxi we took, looked like a rocco sifredi video clip, or the next borat's movie, the trick was he asked us(which language?)how much we ld give him..tourist youthink we are??a snicky bastard?

Yes , we are.we gave the same amount as we paid to come from poland....

We met some Americans students making a "one day in a european capital then I know the place",looking for a Mc donald i guess or massive destruction weapons as well, really i just like everything to summarize: we walked a lot, saw the most beautiful city i have seen so far,had good fun,very happy, a lot of fanta, even a party in the night club (nice cheeks),i recommand,karolina is one the first picture in fornt of a gorgeous grafiti...we bought a camera over there.I bought a nice flag and funny stuff on the market....



The cemetary (wa had a marvellous feet bath in the fontaine!) and a street and a nice façade on the market place, many many churches to see there...




My karolina, the star! who saved my ass many times, because she speaks Kazakstanian, polish and ukrainian very weel!

Once we left lwow, we went back to the train station, jumped into a train for Poland(have to be carefull not going to saint Petersburg!)and we met two polish guys, 1 from holland, and 1 girl from Brussels, we had a nice talk druing the trip back to ustrzyki-dolne, a lot of time, it s crazy how people are patient in here!We saw all the cigarets smugglers hiding their fortune in roofs & seats and we finally arrive we saw the borders guards, even one woman lost a lot of money because she got caught!The tea was good in this train...I wil go back to Lwow one day!

This "virée" was more than a visit, it was a story...to be continued

I M I S S Y O U!!!!!!

Smile for me

When you smile, You create a language of intimate interaction,

When you smile, You send an instant message of heart to heart communication.

When you smile, You create a dream world of happiness,

When you smile, The whole world smiles with you,

When you smile, The despair and troubles seem so far away,

When you smile, The hope and cheers seem only a stone’s throw away.

When you smile, My heart gets the will to survive in distress,

When you smile, My mind gets the power to overcome all the hurdles.

When you smile, My heart belongs to you,

when you smile, The whole world belongs to you.

....me ?( karolina) i'm little ill...brr..cold again

Karolina arrived in Grenoble then we went to les 2 alpes, it was really three nice days
then we came back to Beziers, and we visited Nimes this thursday. Arênes, Maison carrée, pont-du-gard...
We visited as well Béziers, very nice city for touristic tours!

We spent the week-end with some friends, jean-thomas, Francky and manu....
In l'usine a gaz, it s a very cosy place (not of the doom) Karolina finally met my friends, the Beiers life style, and Richard gasquet but she did not know him!

Then the spanish rally in Barcelona, la capitale catalane.
petite blagounette: qu'est ce qu'un catalan? Un belge qui n'a pas trouvé l'Espagne.
First day we arrived after visiting Girona and figueras (for Dali museum) we met
Anna close to the old center, ramblas; gothic hotel.
We really love this city, it was not my first time, sometimes it s hard to understand people speaking in catalan.
THE SECOND DAY , we visited Park Guel and la casa Batllo, it was cool i got a great co-pilote, she is better than a G-P-S !! and nicer.

Somebody stoll me my bad with everything inside
J'ai tout perdu dans Barcelone, mais bon a part des vieux souvenirs en photos d 'avant ,ce n'etait que quelques sous!
So we managed to spend the last meal together.
The wednesday after, i brought Karolina to the airport then I went to the UPC
the big Campus of barcelona, to check schools and student life style!
I met Anna and when I came back, the car was not here anymore so, we found out that the town hall took it. Bastard's, the dogg pound for the cars.

C'est la vie. thank s for Anna for helping me again in such situations. Gracias
