I cannot say how beautiful today is. So I will try and capture it.
Wild animal chase.

23 novembre 2010 by a*urélie
I mean give me a LOT of time.

Help!!
And quickly before winter comes, let me share a bit of autumn with you…
Dedicated to T*
Coming next… Kyoto vs. Tokyo…

FAIL
2 octobre 2010 by a*urélie
My boss told me some time ago that she has a double fitness strategy. The first approach consists in not pigging out and the second in making other people eat.
She was not joking although I did smile. But when I actually think about it, I see in this seemingly harmless statement, the reason why human [...]

CANCELLATION
11 septembre 2010 by a*urélie
Living in a foreign country implies a radical questioning of my priorities in life and dare I say it, cancels them.
Since I am a serious person (how boring right?), I tend to be deeply affected by my environment and paradoxically, when in my native land, I am not very good at sorting out what should [...]

EXTRA*
10 août 2010 by a*urélie
These days I am wondering about happiness and what a good life is.
I am digging into my fears and beliefs. What a mess!
Serious questions, serious answers?

URBA*N SUMMER
8 août 2010 by a*urélie
There is no holiday feeling at the center of Tokyo like there is in Paris from mid-July to the end of August.
People keep dressing in black and white to go to their office. They don’t eat or drink outside because the sun is an enemy. The night falls early evening. Restaurants close their [...]

FRA/CTURED
31 mai 2010 by a*urélie
As it often does, Tokyo surprised me again the other day.
I went to a barbecue party on the Shibaura island, and found out that the view from the most luxurious condos in the area is like that.

CULTURE WITH A c
24 mai 2010 by a*urélie
My friend K* lent me her dictionary of Japanese culture over the week-end, and it has been the most interesting read! K* is Japanese herself, but she felt she could not answer visitors’ questions well enough and bought the book. It is written both in English and Japanese, and as it is the joint-work of [...]

WHERE IS TIME GONE?
14 mars 2010 by a*urélie
I used to think that hours were long and days short. But lately minutes seem to be mysteriously shrinking. When I swim or ride my bicycle. With eyes opened or closed. Sunny days. Rainy days. Alone or with friends.
Is it because of my 30th birthday or because of the extraordinary cultural difference in the [...]
