Today we saw many photographers in front of oasis bar. They were taking pictures of a pretty model. I finally took part of the photos :)

I quit my job mid february. After 1 month travelling and relaxing from 1 year hard working, I'm now looking for a new job. I mostly search in the APAC region. If you know a company looking for a telecom engineer, please contact me :) I already had interviews with few companies in China and Singapore, I hope they will find a job for me!

Today is my last day in USA. Because I'm on holidays in Beijing I should have time next week to write an article about my trip in Washington and New York, and put many photos.

I will also put a summary of the book I'm reading : "Why we love France but not the French", the point of view of Americans about French people. Here the cover : "The French smoke, drink and eat more fat than anyone in the world, yet live longer and have fewer heart problems than Americans. The French work 35 hours a week, and take 7 weeks of paid holidays per year, but are still the world's fourth biggest economic power." Are the Americans jealous of French people and French way of life? The answer soon...

During this time, in Beijing people celebrated Chinese New Year. Go to read the nice articles at camillenchine or annecenchine to know more about the celebrations...

Happy new year, and see you soon in Beijing, I'm back :)

Our speed dating event at Oasis bar was a sucess! :)

Here the feedback from our participant :

I have never expected such a cool crowd turn out. The floor managers played absolutely wonderful hosts by helping me feel less nervous and eased me into the mood for this new-style socialising. There was an excellent mix of crowd for both male and female participants.

There were people from

USA

It was a great opportunity to experience what lies beyond your career and geographical boundaries even if they didn’t strike you as the most ideal romantic partners.

I can see that they have spent considerable effort in creating the mood for this event with their rustic atmosphere flavoured with bourgeoisie furnishings and art nouveau lighting. Food from nearby BBQ shops with their nice well stocked cellar and yummy cocktails went down well with the palate too. The feel was chic too with the nice music unobtrusively filling the atmosphere. 

I would highly recommend anyone with evening plans short of impressive try Oasis Bar out because I definitely will be back for more fun SOON.

Before telling you how the american police was looking for a bomb in my ass at Los Angeles airport, before putting pictures of the pretty cheerleaders during Georges Washington basket ball game, let come back a few weeks ago for my Yunnan trip.

I spent 5 days in Kunming, Dali and Lijiang, and it was really wonderful. I didn't find time to talk about it and put photos so Charlotte, my friend from France, created a blog to talk about this trip and our visits in Beijing. Let visit http://charlotteenchine.canalblog.com to see why you should visit me in China! Who's next? ;)

La Plagne en Chine !

Le samedi 10 février 2007, Zhong Breizh vous invite à sa grande soirée de la chandeleur et vous propose, en association avec le chef français Thierry DIEU, un menu gastronomique breton d'exception.

L'opération chandeleur a pour but de financer la venue en Chine en mai prochain de musiciens bretons bénévoles pour assurer un fest noz (fête bretonne alliant musique, danses et crêpes) aux pékinois que nous sommes.

Votre soutien et votre participation à cette soirée permettront à Zhong Breizh de continuer à proposer des animations culturelles bretonnes de qualité à Pékin et aussi dans le Shandong.

Par soucis d'organisation, vous voudrez bien confirmer à l'avance votre participation (préciser nombre de personnes et n° de téléphone de contact) par mail a zhongbreizh@hotmail.com, par téléphone au 13671346493 ou à nos membres assurant les permanences des mardi et jeudi midi au Sparrow's café (face à l'Unicef sur Sanlitun lu).

Le plan d'accès du Novotel Xinqiao ainsi que le menu sont disponible sur le blog http://zhongbreizh.spaces.live.com/

Pour les passionnés de rugby, la France ne jouera pas le soir du 10 février 2007, vous pourrez donc rester jusqu'au bout de la soirée...

Zhong Breizh,
Ra vevo Breizh da viken !
