...it is been 11 years that I live in France.
And yes, I still enjoy it :-D

Guess what?

2009-08-31T22:10:00.003+02:00

Oh! it is just that we're moving from the lovely and lonely countryside to Annecy-down-town, after 1year and a half in Vieugy (Viejito para los amigos) en-toured by cows etc.. and a lot of time looking for a new place :-D
We are set up for having all of you coming over!

RootDown FM - Independent Internet Radio

2009-06-13T20:32:00.008+02:00

A little come back just to talk you about RootDown.fm

Some of you met them in their previous format "Etherbeat.com", they were an independent alternative internet radio station, streaming live 24/7, no pub, no commercial tubes, not even mainstream success if not chosen fully independently.
What do they do? Jazz, Funk, Hip-Hop, Soul, Latin, Reggae, Afrobeat... If there is an incredible Brazilian little group editing with a local label, they might find them...
They are a little jewel, really.

Anyways just trying to be perfect :-), they tried the adventure purely for FREE, and managed to survive just upon listeners donations for a while.
They were really very good but Public we are not so used to paying for good stuff which is just available for free, so they failed (financially).
The good news? they are back under:
http://www.rootdownfm.com
We do engage now through subscription, $7,5/month and you can give it a try for a free trial of 3 days.
I'm a member again and they are still as good as before, but they are still small to survive with their business model.

I believe it is possible, do you?

2009-02-01T21:02:00.011+01:00

Ce weekend ambiance world cup sur le site olympique des Saisies pour un stage de biathlon avec un bon vieux Popeye local. L'appareil photo etant reste a Annecy on ne pense au telephone portable que dimanche...manque de bol c'est le jour ou il ne fait pas beau :-| mais le biathlon c'est trop top et j'ai fait un strike une fois (5/5 pour les moins informes, avec 2 ou 3 petites tricheries de rien du tout :-), mais toujours a 50m de distance.

2008-10-28T13:38:00.003+01:00

Un type est en train de marcher le long de l'Adour
à Bayonne et il trébuche sur une vieille lampe. Il la ramasse, la
frotte et un génie en sort.

Le génie, lui dit : 'tu peux être ravi : je
t'accorde un voeu !'
Le type s'assoit et pense longuement... Au bout
d'un moment, il se décide et demande : 'J'ai toujours rêvé d'un voyage
à Tahiti, malheureusement j'ai peur de l'avion et j'ai le mal de mer.
Pouvez-vous me construire un pont jusqu'à Tahiti, pour que je puisse
m'y rendre en voiture ?'

Le génie ne dit rien pendant quelques secondes, puis
éclate de rire : 'C'est impossible ! Pense à ce qu'il faut utiliser
pour soutenir un tel pont, pense au béton qu'il faudra faire couler,
aux tonnes d'acier... Je suis un génie, OK, mais je ne peux pas faire
de miracle...

Il faut tout de même rester dans le domaine du
raisonnable !!
Non, demande-moi autre chose, c'est trop compliqué !'

Le type se remet à réfléchir. Au bout de quelques
minutes il trouve autre chose :
..'J'ai été marié et j'ai divorcé 4
fois.
.. Mes femmes m'ont toujours dit que je ne
m'intéressais pas à elles et que j'étais insensible.
Alors, ce que je voudrais, c'est...

Comprendre les femmes,
Savoir ce qu'elles ressentent, et ce qu'elles
pensent lorsqu'elles sont silencieuses..
Savoir pourquoi elles pleurent, ce qu'elles
veulent vraiment dire lorsqu'elles disent non...
Pouvoir les rendre heureuses...
Bref, comprendre leur psychologie.

Le génie le regarde, puis demande :

'Le pont, tu le veux avec 2 ou 4 voies ?'

This is one of the markets that I enjoyed the most. All the vendors were grouped in the same area by type of "industry", and the one in the picture was actually selling motorbike and cars spare parts, together with more than 20 others selling the same. Some of them they were specialized in tires, buffers, others in engine spare... looks like it is not the rush hour though.

I've realized looking at my picture folders that I have a lot of them either eating or with food not very far... :-)
Ans so, Helene has created a stamp which pretty much resumes, very basically but very exactly, my mood.
It's not my fault, it is a family thing.

So I have opened this new travel & life label which reads "Silvia mange, Silvia contente"
Simple, straight and very true.

I will post some pictures from Egypt soon, so far I am a little bit tired because of all these changes... :-)

what am I doing?

2008-02-24T11:07:00.007+01:00

Just to clarify a little as I'm not very much "on time" answering mails in the last few weeks...

Little visit to Paris

and then little skiing Tour(nette) with Mat,

right now I'm in Egypt for 12 days with Helene (the artist).

Work? Oh yes, I had forgotten that one. I will finish my lazy time hanging around in different parts of the world in exactly one week. It has been 1year and a half in total and I recommend it to everybody.
So on Monday the 3rd of March I will say bye bye to L(*) " I'll hope I'll see you again soon, but if I don't please take care and have a nice day"
(quoting my friends HCD & BP ;-))

to my girl-friends, pour mes copines...

2007-11-08T12:34:00.000+01:00

I'm sure most of you are going to recognize yourselves in the text below.
It is an extract of the latest book I'm reading "Eat Pray Love" from Elisabeth Gilbert.

(Just for those among you that spent a precious time waiting her partner to change... :) and I'm not to mention names but I have a bunch of you in my mind, my dear girl-friends. Obviously I count myself in the package in my life story for at least 2 or 3 times with no need to think very hard...)

"I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and then I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness.
Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism."

Of course there is also the second theory we try to grab to still get attached to "that relation", not very far from the one above, which is the very much famous
"Yeah but if he would had behaved like this and that, and if he would had tried this hard, and to sum up if he would have been different to himself (in other words)..., it should have worked between us"

Sure, but it happens to be that people are not different to themselves (by definition. What a big discovery here, right?) nor don't behave as we have imagined they should to match our projected disneyland expectations, and honestly I think it is better this way.

- This is not just for you my friends but just in case I forget it once again in my life and I need you to remind it to me loudly - ;-)

+ Morocco & Cadiz

2007-10-07T21:53:00.001+02:00

So no Algeria and no Tunisia but finally Cadiz (Spain :-)
Ah! and I am now back in Grenoble again, stopped traveling for a little while (...or not?)

When we arrived to Casablanca and started looking for information on visas and how to cross the borders etc.. we realized that Morocco and Algeria borders are closed.. since a looooong time. So shameless (no comment), we just changed plans and stayed 3 weeks in Morocco and 1 more week in Cadiz where we met Yves, a very nice guy that comes from France and tried to reach Cadiz hitchhiking. He failed and picked up the bus. Ah! he is also Emma´s boyfriend, his blog is linked in this blog, and despite he thinks Granada is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Spanish truck drivers doesn´t like him.( they didn't like Emma and myself either when we tried thumbs up to get a free ride to Conil de la Frontera, we still don't understand why..:-p)

And just a little personal theory here that we have arrived to my country..
I'm convinced that the longest you've been living abroad the deepest is your love for "jamón ibérico" (please refuse fake ;). Considering that I live in France since 1998, just guess...
I think it can be somthing like this and it keeps on progressing:
so now you have a good idea about our activities there... :)
[I also have good addresses both in Morocco and Spain, just ask]

Le piege - La trampa

2007-09-25T01:22:00.002+02:00

Alors a votre avis, elle finit par acheter a la fin la gazelle?
Compra o no compra al final nuestra gazelle?

Emma, 9 mois de voyage, autrement dit déjà assez rôdée quand même.

Emm: Eh Sil, je vais regarder à côté pour les locations de voitures, tu m'attends ici avec les cornes de gazelle + thé à la menthe ?
Sil: Yes.
[1h plus tard quand je la croyais kidnappée par les martiens....]
Emm: Ohlalala... tu sais pas ce qu'il m'est arrivé ?!?!?!?! J'ai failli acheter un tapis. D'ailleurs je suis même étonnée de pas me voir arriver avec un gros sac sur mes épaules...
Sil: Mais...?!?!? ;-)
Emm: Beh oui.. j'ai seulement aidé un petit vendeur à écrire une lettre en français à un copain à lui.
Sil: ...Aha...
Emm: Et puis j'étais déjà à l'intérieur du magasin..
Sil: Mais tout à fait Emma...
Emm: HAHAHHAAHA, ptain! qu'ils sont forts!!! je me suis même pas rendue compte!! mais tu crois que...?!?!?
Sil: Un peu oui, mais juste sur les bords... ;-)

Tout ça pour dire qu'ils sont megasuper forts en technique de chasse d'acheteuse potentielle. Le but c'est de te faire rentrer au magasin sur n'importe quel prétexte, et un fois dedans tu as déjà augmente de beaucoup tes chances d'achat..
Puis que l'invitation au thé a la menthe est trop du "déjà vu", ils inventent des trucs pas possibles...
Je vous dit pas la collection des lettres écrits par des européens que le mec doit garder chez lui... ;-p
On a bien rigolé après.

"Bonjour les gazelles. Venez regarder, c'est pas pour le business, juste pour le plaisir des yeux...Avec ou sans sucre?"
"Buenas mozas. Solo mirar, no es para comprar, solo para el placer de los ojos... Con o sin azucar?"

"et Emma qu'on est bien ici? tu passes deja ton niveau III de Sudoku? bien, c'est bien. On a ete efficaces depuis hier alors..."
"Emma, no se esta mal aqui no? que ya te pasas el nivel III de Sudoku? bien, vamos bien. Llevamos buen ritmo desde ayer oye..."

"..le desert est toujours tranquille, c'est pas busy comme l'Europe ou comme Marrakech. Nous sommes toujours contents. Dixit Ibrahim, le prince du desert qui a ete notre guide."
(je vous dit pas le petit effect dans nos sprits samsarics, sourtout le mien, de 5 jours dans le desert...Enorme.)
"..el desierto es siempre muy tranquilo, no es busy como Europa o Marrakech. Nosotros estamos siempre contentos. Decia Ibrahim, el principe del desierto que ha sido nuestro guia."
(os ahorro el efecto que estos dias en el desierto han provocado en nuestras mentes samsaricas...Enorme)

plus des detailles et des photos bientot et sur le blog d'Emma. Je vous embrasse.
Pronto mas detalles y fotos y tambien en el blog de Emma. Besos a todos.

After my India trip cancellation and during 3 days we have tried to agree together with Emma on where we were going to meet for a little revival entitled "J'ai la terre qui me tourne".
Emma saw herself in Pakistan, Iran, India, Spain, eastern Europe, Greece, Turkey...
On my side I saw myself in Japan, New Zeland, central America, why not Greece at this point we were getting closer... but still not there...
We finally managed: MOROCCO!! yeah!
Emma who is the adventure seeker here (I'm the lazy), rapidly had this idea :
and then we go through ALGERIA and we end up in TUNISIA.
All right Emma, we'll see there but why not... :) So we both took a one way ticket and we'll meet each other on Sunday in Casablanca.

Then if she ever sails to the Caribe she can always swim up to the Canary islands before and I'm sure Emma, you will get the maximum in adventure ;-))

So, being back to Morocco etc what is the plan?, how long, and what are we going to do?... it is very simple.
We only have one limit and its stands for "the rule is there is no rule"

and now that you know as much as I do for this little trip, I leave you with this pic (real one, no fake) which I believe it is a good start for something... ;-))
see you soon!
nos vemos en los bares..

Cantabria, ven y cuéntalo..

2007-08-19T19:04:00.001+02:00

"Cantabria, ven y cuéntalo"
like on the Spanish television adds... :-)

Cantabria is supposed to be very beautiful: long fine sand beaches, country side, little mountains and very green because, of course, it rains a lot (there is no little miracles as you know)..
But we had super good weather during a full week so don't believe that statement anymore, I actually think it is a fairy tale or we've been really lucky... hihihi

C'etait cool avec vous :-)

Tour d'Espagne

2007-06-26T19:42:00.002+02:00

"Tour d'Espagne" because it started in Salou for Maria's bachelorette party. I need her permission to disclose any picture.. ;-)

then stopped by Zaragoza to see the familly and Carol and
super quick visit to Rosa in Bilbao..

..but time enough to realize that I like the city, we had time to enjoy the tapas bars, the txalaparteros little percussion concert in the old area, very nice walk thru Bilbao but I have now a big question and I need your help Rosa..

I have several pictures from the Guggenheim (same side, same view) and in some of them we see the spider [Louise Bourgeois] in some other we don't!!!
IS IT MOVING, OR IT IS LATE TONIGHT OR WHAT?!?!?!?!?

I have spent some time looking at the pictures, zooming in and out and honestly this is a mistery to me... (like the song;-)
Need help!

Singapore & Malaysia

2007-06-02T06:58:00.001+02:00

Malaysia rocks and as Philippe would say "c'est completement bon sprit".

Definitively, I'm not sure at all I will manage to live a year like this one again in my life, so I try to get as much as I can from it.. I believe you agree with the approach.

For the details here, "Philippe est en forme" besides a little detail (his job..), Singapore life style seems to fit him and he's got funky friends very much willing to share a bottle of wine with him, so everything is on track.

We went to Tioman island in Malaysia last weekend and I stayed a little longer on my own, quite a nice paradise again [this is my islands year, don't forget] ;-), scuba diving, snorkeling, and meeting extraordinary people:
Sergio, David prometido que escribo y que pongo las fotos del buceo en cuanto me las mandeis y nos vemos en Yukatan, Hospitalet o en los bares... :-)
Francois et Rico, super journée super soirée, très beau partage avec vous... spyquitos, tortues, tigers, body percu et tout et tout... j'espère aussi vous voir dans les bars comme on dis en espagnol..

Little detail: my mother and sister thought that the diver on the right with white sun glasses was me!!
Thank you my dear family but not. :-)
He is the dive master we were diving with, dive master during the day, DJ at night... no comment.. :-))

Que sera sera..?

Can I now have my Adventure Licence?

2007-02-18T06:21:00.001+01:00

...after the frogs, rats, lizards, giant lizards, cockroaches, ants and all kind of insects in my bedroom this morning I was waked up in my bungalow by a monkey at less than 1mt from me...
Can I now have my "my adventure permit" and get back home for some skiing...?

He was not very friendly though, I took a wood stick that we use to close the door just in case I needed to throw it and he faced me this arrogant... ( I'm at least 5 times bigger than him and no respect at all... I'm also 200 times slower than him by the way..:-))

One more night here, what does national geographic prepare for tonight...? make your bet!
:-))

but what is she doing that she doesn't email to us...?

2007-02-03T05:55:00.001+01:00

It's been more than 7 weeks, thai massages, jewelery, meditation, a 30 year old birthday party, 6 girls together, diving, 2 countries, 2 more very special friends, plenty of emotions and many mails from you all that I was not able to answer in a one to one mode so far..
Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciated it and how much I enjoyed them.
Thankyouuuuuuuu ver muchiiii! ( in Japanese).

I feel that the best way to give you an idea is to post some pictures and to start booking appointments for dinner at your places when I'll be back late February, that I can tell you the more crispy adventures live....
;-) hihihihi the party in Jack's jungle bar...even live music just because of Emma!!... I'm serious here.

...and how is it then 6 girls in paradise island together?

a success of fun an emotions... for sure! :-))

Also and to answer some of your questions... you're right I was not alone in my bungalow as Sophia always shows up at night time :-)

this update is obviously not finished yet but I need a little rest from Internet before continuing later... however, if for any reason I get lost in the following days/weeks you can look for me here below :-) LOVE YOU

Fast and furious Emma and Silvia in our motorbike

First little update..

2006-12-28T12:47:00.001+01:00

For this first update you're not going to suffer the traditional "I met that old thai lady.. I read peace in her eyes... she reminded me my ancestors.. we spent the day together (she didn't spoke a world of English) but at the end of the day I felt I was in perfect communion with Buda, as I had understood Dhama.."
We will go instead to a more practical update. I will summarize you the first 15days of "Emma on the go" and she will do the same for me in her blog (in links in this blog).
So there we go:
- Emma is now called Emi by her Thai Massage teacher.
- She follows a massage course in Chiang Mai where she brought me and Pauline by night train.
- Emi invited me the other day to a "wig pancake" in the afternoon tea time ( oui oui, crepe a la perruque pour le gouter)
- This wig thing is sweet and we also eat it with fried rice and chicken and shrimps.
- Emi is the best mosquito repellent I could have ever carried in a world tour. Thank you Emi, really very much :-)
- Emi is graduated by Wat Pho in Thai traditional massage therefore she can now find a job in Thailand and no more be unemployed.. hihihi :)
- Emi... parfois elle en fait trop... and even her Massage teacher says her : "Emi, no extra!" you can ask her for the details... ;)
- Emi and Silvia we leave Chiang Mai tomorrow for new adventures in Pai, even northern in the country.
- I will soon drop some pictures that you can see how happy she is.

kiss you all :-)

hoy me ha dado por esto oye...

Y uno aprende

Después de un tiempo
uno aprende la sutil diferencia
entre sostener la mano y encadenar un alma,
y uno aprende
que el amor no significa recostarse
y una compañía no significa seguridad
y uno empieza a entender...
que los besos no son contratos,
y los regalos no son promesas
y uno empieza a aceptar sus derrotas
con la cabeza alta y los ojos abiertos
y uno aprende
a construir todos sus caminos en el hoy
porque el terreno de mañana,
es demasiado inseguro para planes...
y los futuros
tienen una forma de caerse en la mitad,
y después de un tiempo, uno aprende
que si es demasiado
hasta el calorcito del sol quema.
Así que uno planta su propio jardín,
y decora su propia alma,
en lugar de esperar a que alguien le traiga flores,
y uno aprende
que realmente puede aguantar,
que uno realmente es fuerte,
que uno realmente vale
y uno aprende y aprende...
y con cada adiós uno aprende.

there we are...

Silvia , what do you do now that you have all that time??!?!!?

et bien... je fais un étude approfondi de la tarte Tatin, entre autres.. comme parler au phone (but that's not new) et je cherche aussi une agrafeuse murale so if you have one, please speak up!

voila voila... donc ça se goupille plutôt bien (il fallait que je le casse ce verbe, je l'ai appris la semaine dernière et ça me plaît trop ;)

..my next weeks/months agenda

2006-09-09T16:47:00.001+02:00

..because there is no way you manage to know when and where am I and then you go: "you didn't told me.., I was not aware.. if I knew I would have joined" and of course I want to see YOU!!!

There we go with a little skinny summary:
Until the 25th of September I will be in Grenoble.
From the 25th of Sept to the 3rd of Oct I will be in the US (NYC, yes!)
From the 3rd of Oct to the 8th I will be in Madrid.
8th Oct back to Grenoble:
the 17th of Oct myopia surgery again, right eye this time:-)
Somewhere here in between also in October I will go to Zaragoza too (this one I don't know...).
11th of November there will probably be a big farewell party.
Begining of Nov somewhere Amsterdam
(Late) Mid December we/I fly to Vietnam (Emma might join later):

and Vietnam Cambodia are planned for Dec-Jan, probably New year's day already in Thailand.
January Thailand (south to north) to end up in Laos.
Laos during February and then either Malaysia or Myamar..
Of course this is just an approximation and it is subject to change any time...:-))
March-April I'll be back in Europe to see how do I proceed with the schools.., say hello to you all.., kiss my family (kiss you all!).., go skiing.., cheese..,wine.. you know me..
voila...
so don't tell me anymore that I havent told you!
Love you too :-)
