I just love this picture taken by their auntie in the Everglades. Full of swamp and alligator farms, this is definitively something to check out if you ever come around here!

Seisme/ Earthquake
Tadashi et sa famille vont bien car ils habitent vers Nagoya, a l'ouest de Tokyo.
Par contre j'espere que les seismes et secousses vont s'arreter de se rapprocher de chez lui...
Je deteste les tremblements de terre
Tadashi and his family are OK as they live ner Nagoya, west of Tokyo.
Hopefully the other earthquakes are going to end, they get nearer and nearer to him....
I hate earthquakes

Texas
Greetings from Galveston Island, Texas!
Was supposed to fly to NY and be there for 5 days, and the client decided to change it to Texas because of the bad weather.... It was a real marathon trying to reorganize everything in 5 days, was more than stressed and exhausted.
But the hotel is nice (link below), my room was on the 16th floor with oceanview. The group of participants were nice too. The resort have this amazing outdoor pool at 84 degrees Fahrenheit (29 degrees). I swam 2 times there in the evening and swimming in this warm water while watching the stars and listening to some outdoor music, it was heaven!
Bonjour depuis l'ile de Galveston au Texas.
J'etais censee aller a NY et rester la-bas pendant 5 jours. Mais le client a decide de tout deplace vers le Texas a cause de la tempete de neige et de verglas vers le Nord-Est. Je ne vous raconte pas le marathon pour tout reorganiser en 5 jours, de la folie pure, j'etais vraiment epuisee.
L'hotel ou nous sommes est vraiment bien (lien ci-dessous). En plus ma chambre etait au 16e avec vue sur l'ocean! Les participants sont sympas. Et il y a cette super piscine exterieure avec une temperature constante de 29 degres!!
J'ai nage 2 soirees dans cette piscine, et regarder les etoiles dans cette eau toute chaude tout en ecoutant de la musique, c'etait vraiment le paradis!

J'adore! I love it!
quel bonheur de se garer dans ce pays. Pays ou la voiture predomine dans tout. On emmene et depose ses enfants en voiture sans en sortir. On sort ses poubelles en voiture. On retire de l'argent depuis sa voiture. On depose son ordonnance et revient chercher ses medicaments en voiture. Voila quelques exemples qui m'ont bien surprises depuis que je suis arrivee.
Par contre, ce que j'adore, c'est me garer. Fini les parkings a la parisienne ou a l'Inseadienne, ici la place est roi, impossible de rayer la voiture voisine, trop d'espace! Impossible de rater, meme en essayant, on ne peut que rentrer sa voiture dans la place. Que du bonheur, merci !!
4 enfants (Hannah, Maya, leurs nouveaux copains Lilia et Joshua ) arrivent a peine a combler la longueur!
Such a delight to park your car in this country. Cars are everything here. You bring your kids to school and leave them there without even going out from the car. You bring your trash by car. You take money out by car. You leave the precription and pick up your medecine by car. Those are just a few examples of my experience here which have taken me by surprise.

But there is one thing I absolutely adore here it is to park. Forget about Parisian or Insead car parks, place has its values. Impossible to scratch the car next to you. Too much space for that. Impossible to miss the parking spot while manoeuvring your car, you can only put it in that space as it is so wide. So much joy, thank you!!
4 kids (Hannah, Maya, their new friends Lilia et Joshua) can barely cover the length!

Uniform/ Uniforme
Venant de France ou il n'y a pas d'uniforme dans les ecoles publiques, c'etait quelque chose que j'ai du apprendre. L'image montre un document que l'ecole m'a donnee pour mieux comprendre.
Coming from France where we have no uniform in public schools, it was something I had to learn, here is a flyer we got explaining what to get.
Et le resultat donne cela:
And here is the result:
