Background Johnny Homicidal

One Year !!!!!!!!

And voila .... this is a year we are here. To celebrate this milestone a few reflections on mundane and uninteresting life Here (Warning life here is not England, it Cambridge ): if you do not interest you are not obliged to read eh! Me it is my pleasure to write!

This does not memanque
  • RER.!
  • the strikes! (I have nothing against the right to strike, on the contrary ... I do not like user to be in those moments, that is)
  • France in general ... Yes it's not worth it to lynch me, I'm forcing myself I miss it yet (actually I like to be mostly expatriate!)
  • -work will have to change it!
  • dog droppings in the street (okay it was cow dung)!
  • few sellers and servers sympathetic and lack of respect for the customer!

What I miss (which I miss most: family and friends)
  • steps with lots of fruit and vegetables correct! then the same for meat, fish, ... good restaurants, good food in general! (Because I can not count on my kitchen)
  • choice of ready meals for babies!
  • the sun (real hot-du) and the Mediterranean Sea! (Yes becaufe'm on an island is not really my sea!)
  • understand all the subtleties of conversation!
  • beautiful architecture Erlangen (yes because at hand, Colleges, there are no big beautiful buildings and small houses)!
  • servers and knowledgeable salespeople!


Contente "Not happy
  • Not content to go around the city in 15 minutes! (Too small)
  • Glad to see, salespeople, cashiers, waiters who smile and apologize to every little problem, glad to have a customer service!
  • Not simply find difficult to complete any inforamtion about either ... (It's not just my incompetence in English, it that whatever support I feel that there is never a complete and accurate information)
  • happy again I walk alone for an hour and during that time to meet at least three people I know!
  • Glad to have clean public toilets and often with changing tables!
  • Contente the multitude of Nationality!
  • and most important of all very, very happy with new friends!


Here lists full of stereotypes, absolutely not exhaustive, not objective, because if I was a real serious you would be asleep list on your keyboard and I'm very nice, I want to brand AZERTY or QWERTY on your pretty face of avid reader of Blog! .... Although, if you leave any comments ..... !

Conclusion: I am very happy to be where I am, especially in these times of "credit-crunch " to be healthy, tenant (yes fortunately we had not enough money to buy) and married to an official of an a priori that institutions will not dismiss it (I mean the university of cambridge, because the CNRS at the moment it is not certain .... )!!!!
