I want you back for good...

I want you back for good...
On Saturday 16 June, Marie-Eve and I went to Shanghai’s Gay Pride. Now I stop you right before you start picturing half naked men on floats!... We’re in China! Yes, they’re ‘tolerant’ enough to allow a Gay Pride, but indoors please! No demonstration,...

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...

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....

Vive les vacances, vive l'insouciance...
In April, my mother came to visit for two weeks. We started with Shanghai, as I hadn’t had the opportunity to visit the touristiest bits of the city yet. On Sunday 1 April, we went to the World Financial Centre – which is the fourth tallest building in...

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...

What's the name of the game? Does it mean anything to you?...

On Tuesday 7 February, the school organised a pub quiz night for staff. Some of you out there know very well how keen I am on taking part in this kind of shit, and so when David – the Spanish teacher – asked me to be part of his team, I almost wet myself...

Over the Chinese New Year holidays, I tried to make the most of my free time to actually visit Shanghai and see what was happening in the heart of this busy city. I started with several art exhibitions: Murakami and his flowers, Ding Yi and his work on...

Keep your drink, just give me the money...

For New Year’s Eve, Marie-Eve, her friend Annick and I had booked a suite at the Westin Hotel, where they had a New Year’s Eve offer with a buffet and a show. As we were staying in Shanghai anyway, we wanted to splash out and get pampered at the hotel’s...

We need to link up right now na na...

On Saturday 5 November, some colleagues and I went to see Akon’s gig at the Mercedes Arena – which looks like a giant flying saucer, quite cool. The gig was great because everyone was dancing to the songs and the atmosphere in the arena was quite hot,...

Joy to the world...
I promised I would tell you about my wonderful contribution to the school’s adult choir, so here it is... I had my very first practice on Monday 17 October, and obviously I didn’t know anything about singing, let alone singing with other people... The...
