About Me

Petit detour a Lille Colonnes flottantes de Jean Moré: http://www.airetcolonnes.com/I sometime try to pretend being an anthropologist in the field...Now living in London, I am putting my background in medical anthropology to use and am working for a UK agency focusing on delivering reproductive health care to refugees and displaced people. bla bla bla.
walking by the river to the Modern Tate for a little glissade sur les toboggans geant du test site de Carsten Höller, lovely. Even a bit scary. The scream of the visitors sliding down echoed through the museum, it is a bit like being in a F.W. Murnau movie?From the Tate Modern I suggest taking a Black Cab by a nearby bridge towards a lounge bar, of course you will crash there having a Campari Soda because no-one serve tea after 5h30 PM bigben time. Sharp. Just check that there is a proper english gentleman, he calls you 'love', opens door and you all set.Yep you are in Westminster and it is not Hackney? So why not popping in the Economist building to request a free copy to another doorman and admire a Mhairi Vari sculpture?Now I am in Love with Colombia. the country, the people, every smell and sound of it.

La vie est belle!

"Alors, il faut ne pas perdre son humour, rester élégant. Sans espoir, sans désespoir, ne pas oublier que le bonheur est possible. Ne pas oublier que la vie est une pute et la traiter comme telle. Lui...
