Visiting the Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul, South Korea — and making a pretty incredible encounter in the process! Beats by Esta. youtu.be/9YsmXiFhb…Thursday, May 25, 2017
Hello everybody! It’s been 10 days in Seoul, South Korea, and I’ve got a big ol’ crush on this city, this country, and this culture. www.youtube.com/watch Over the past ten days, I’ve gotten to discover multiple facets of Korean life, its food, its lifestyle, and its culture – both old and modern sides. And I’ve been loving every moment and every day. I do not actually know a lot of close friends who have been to Seoul before – I know that a former friend studied there, and that the lovely Ashley & Jon, two good friends from Brighton, met here in SeoulI believe.Wednesday, May 24, 2017

Hello everybody ! First of all, I wanted to thank those of you who’ve shared some good vibes, of friendly messages and support. As I’m writing this, I’m in my Airbnb, in Shanghai, for a few more days, before hitting my next destination. Over here, on the blog, you can find the Dubai Vlog, as well as THREE vlogs from my time here in China. But first, let's talk about this past month in Shanghai.Saturday, May 6, 2017

Great concise piece by Zach Beauchamp for Vox: The point, then, is that European elections are increasingly no longer about principally European concerns like the size of welfare states. They are about issues that affect the broader stability of Europe and the global order — which America has a huge stake in. As a result, center-left politicians like Obama feel entitled, maybe even obligated, to involve themselves. www.facebook.com/EmmanuelM… [≠]Wednesday, May 3, 2017
It’s taken me some time to find a decent enough internet connection to upload this new vlog. After a busy week catching up on work, I spent the weekend exploring other areas of Shanghai! youtu.be/xOFY14iWW…Friday, April 21, 2017
After a busy beginning of the week, I’ve finally gone out this tonight, for drinks with friends. Last week, I caught up with my friend Lincha whom I’d met 6 years ago in San Francisco. She’s now in Shanghai and I got to meet up with her and her boyfriend Matt. We also met some other people, local Shanghainese as well as expats. Then, after a busy week for everyone, We went out for dinner in a Dim Sum place, and then to a local expat bar held by Louis, a New Yorker who’s been in SGH for 16 years.Tuesday, April 18, 2017

13:45 — 25mn into my flight between Nice and Stockholm. In the air to reach the Swedish capital, before a connecting flight to the first destination of my trip, in Dubai. Shoe Dog As I’m writing this, I’ve just finished a book entitled "Shoe Dog" by Phil Knight. Knight is the founder of Nike, and the book is a memoir, tracing the early history of the company, from its inception in the mid sixties, to its IPO in the early eighties.Monday, April 3, 2017

The debate also included the three other main contenders — the Socialist Benoît Hamon, the Republicans’ François Fillon, and the far-left candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon — but it was the fight between Mr. Macron and Ms. Le Pen that riveted attention.
Here are my initial reactions from this debate…

Currently listening to: Drake’s freshly released "More Life" album/playlist/project. I’m waiting at the airport, on my way home after spending the weekend with S. I always have a great time in this city, but the real reason behind the trip was to see her again, and be able to spend some quality time together. In all honesty, we were just looking for a good place to meet, in Europe, and The Netherlands happened to be a cheap and direct flight for both of us.Sunday, March 12, 2017
This week-end, I was in Lyon to celebrate my little brother’s graduation. We’re here with the family and actually went to a wonderful Michelin-star restaurant, which was booked last minute, with views overlooking the city. And it literally turned out to be the best restaurant I’ve ever been too and best meal I’ve ever had. And did I mention this was my vegetarian set menu?! [gallery ids=“2297,2317,2322,2321,2320,2306,2314,2318,2310,2313” type=“rectangular”] If you haven’t been to Lyon, I can only recommend it — it brings some of this French charm, blends it with great cuisine, cityscapes, and a much friendlier local population than Paris.Friday, March 10, 2017
Something I’ve been saying to a few close friends and family members: given the current American Government, I’m going to avoid traveling to the US because I feel that I’m just vocal enough to be rejected at the border. Here’s the short version of what I’m about to say: Immigrants and visitors to the US—along with anyone participating in protests or visible resistance to the current administration—are the targets of intrusive governmental surveillance, including surveillance of their social networks.Thursday, March 9, 2017
White America… Since January 2015, the FBI has also arrested more anti-immigrant American citizens plotting violent attacks on Muslims within the U.S. than it has refugees, or former refugees, from any banned country. [≠]Wednesday, March 8, 2017
Consumer Reports will now include privacy as an important factor into how they rate new products. A great news in these troubled times. Simple and to the point: When consumers vote with their wallets and their clicks, we’ve seen that companies pay attention. We think companies will strive to out-do their competitors when it comes to privacy, security, and other consumer rights. The ones that do a better job will gain more customers.Wednesday, March 8, 2017
