Philippines here we go!

Well it's almost there. My upcoming business trip to the Philippines.

My plan there? To meet my two friends from Canada and France. I met them both in Cambodia last year. I was looking for friends to visit Siem Reap. I asked those two guys. Never made a better mistake. Honestly, it wasn't a mistake.

Otherwise, try new beers, see new things, meet new people, dive some, drive some motorcycle, see chocolate of a different kind, etc.

Discovering Israel

Tel Aviv Yafo

Not even set foot in the plane yet, and our favourite traveller already experiences Israeli security. When flying with Elal, the Israeli Airlines company, you will have an enhanced security check from anywhere you will be leaving. In Israeli airports, this security is streamlined into the global check-in and passport check process. They will ask you many questions about your trip, your contacts, your travel companions and other things. They might ask personal questions and may want to see proof of conversation with your local contacts. They will hand search every piece of luggage you will bring and make sure you are the only person who has touched your bags before coming to the airport. This is both ways.

The next step

After being comfortably insecure, stepping out of that infamous comfort zone, I'm almost back in that well-known swiss security place which I found so boring.

It made me leave, it made me discover other places, other cultures, other ways of living. Good or bad, always an experience.

I've seen people surviving, begging and thriving.

I've been culturally shocked, mostly when I came back to the so called civilized world.

My new line of career

I'm the keeper of cats
Don't leave them alone in fear
Hire me, he who pats
I'll only drink your beer
Eat all the food I can find
And your cat's loneliness
Disappears without a mess

En attendant

En attendant de trouver quoi faire, eh bien je m'occupe. J'ai toujours aussi des démarches administratives à effectuer. Mais avant de pouvoir faire ça, je dois préparer d'autres choses. Enfin, technicalités que je vais vous épargner.

Et après?

Going down the river in Laos

Eh bien après, je ne sais pas. C'est le caca.

Being a tour guide

Being a tour guide in Bangkok for a few days was fun. As I've been in Bangkok 4 separate times, I already have a few points of interests I know, a few favorite spots and a general global view of the city. But really not so much, as the city is hugely enormous.
