News

Hello to everyone.

I will progressively write again some posts in this blog. I stopped due to my job hunting and I was travelling.

To give brief news:

• I am working since end of April at JP Morgan as a Business Analyst
• I have settled myself in a studio in Annemasse (France) because the job is in Geneva (Switzerland)

Soon, more news and an update to the Web site...

Through this post, I would like to congratulate the European Union for its 50 years! It was in 1957 that the Rome treaty established the European Economic Community which became the current EU.

At the beginning, Henrik can remember this, I was not really in favor of Europe. When I arrived in France, I could observe daily implications of this Union, and I changed my mind. I love discovering new cultures and I am really excited when meeting people at the university coming from all over Europe. We can travel freely, share a money, a parliament... I really enjoy it!

I am disappointed to see that currently in France, a lot of people are deceived by the EU. I hope this day of celebrations could make things better in their mind by showing all that is brought by this alliance.

Here are some links:

• The European Union portal
• The website dedicated to the birthday.

I have just made slight modifications on the site. It was something I wanted to carry out but that I was constantly delaying.

These are the few new features:

• background color similar to the blog's
• navigation colors similar to the blog's
• menu moved from left to right

They are details, but this might allow a better coherence between the Website and the blog.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please contact me or leave some words below.

We celebrated the New Year with our neighbors and Mohamed at Gruissan, near Narbonne. Therefore, Anaïs and I decided to spend our holidays in this region.

We chose to stay 3 nights in a chambre d'hôtes, near Perpignan. If you do not know what this concept is, please, leave a comment. We picked Le Magnolia at Ille sur Têt. We were warmly welcomed by Hélène and Pierre! They shared with us their knowledge about the region and they pointed us the sites to visit. We had one dinner with them and it was excelent! If you go around this place, I recommend to stop over there.

When we were at Ille sur Têt, we visited the Rodès' castle. We saw the Serrabonne abbey and the Montalba village, among other things. We also went to Perpignan and to Collioure. To sum up, we did a brief tour to the French Catalonia. We enjoyed it a lot! We did not see everything, of course, but the point was also to have some rest!

When we came back, we were thinking of stopping at Toulouse, but it was a long way to go. We went to Montpellier instead.

As usual, pictures are on Flickr. To see them, check this page.
