Final stop: Cascais!

Hello gang!

I've heard some of you got lost some where in the world ? Hope you'll have fun wherever you might be. Me, I've reached my final destination, curiously a window to the Atlantic sea, very close to my masters' city in Portugal. But let me tell you everything I've been up to.

I went with João, a new traveler I met, to Frankfurt in Germany. He had a business trip to India but we had some time to spend in this german city.


In Bangalor, India, I had the oportunity to take a tour around the city, while João was working, or at least he told me so ;) I think these guys just want the same as I do: to travel and visit new cultures! Here I am at Bangalore's parliament:


This trip was short and we got back to New York. In the most famous city in the world it's easy to get famous. I a got a little bit famous when someone decided I could be the next Pepsi commercial star. Maybe so, maybe not, but I flew all the way to Texas to take part of a quick photographic session at Pepsi's warehouse. And check out the private jet :-)


After this I spent sometime to settle down and breed a bit. But with our adventure coming to an end I had to choose a place. A place for life! I truly believe that we can get anything we want, and this time it wasn't different. Sara and André were going to Lisbon on the 31st of July 2009, a unique oportunity to reach my final destination just before 1 year went by from 1st August last year. João took me to them in a rainny summer evening! Incredible João, thanks a lot ;) And so her I am in my favourite and final (?) address: Cascais, in Portugal, very close to Lisbon. I believe some day, my masters will come to join me and we'll live happily ever after, all together in the best city of the world!


Cheers everyone and see you around!

My dear friends... I finally decided to send you an email as It's been almost one year now that I left the french riviera for the thailand.
At amsterdam airport, I have met a great guy called Nicolas that was sleeping on the floor... dont ask me why!?
But as he was also going to Thailand, we made the trip together.

Once in Bangkok, we went to Wat Pho and met this mysterious golden guy...

I have also tought my friend bouddah how to sit in a wise way in Chiang Mai:
















Here are my friends.. I just forgot their name but we had lots of fun..

Here are the crazy activities I have done in this wonderfull place. I love boat so I have a lot of fun with all kind of floating stuff...



As you can see I felt very confortable in Thailand..

But the real reason why I m feeling so good in this place is because I have found real love in Lisu village...


Thats why I had to take a difficult descision.. My mission was to travel all around the world, but now I know that my place is here with her. I hope Boris will understand my choice and will be happy for my new life. I also want to wish best of luck for the others wherever they are, tourist, hostage, in a garbage or simply in father's bed... Just come to visit me one day!

Hello everyone,

I really wanted to study in detail the famous torre pendente di Pisa. That's why I asked Maria and Michel to go to Pisa with me this week end.

I enjoyed climbing the 296 stairs in order to reach the seventh floor. It was so fun to see the world 56 meters heigh from the ground.

Next time I'll try to see Napoli. I will tell you everything in a couple a weeks. See you soon.

Arven update

Hey gang!

I've been busy doing the same old same thing. Right now I'm in the city that never sleeps. But I haven't spend my whole time here. I still haven't told you all about Portugal...

I went with Diana to visit her temple in Évora, Portugal.


We spent New Year's in Istambul, Turkey.

Went back with Diana to New York, United States of the American dream! A rat's dream!

Meanwhile I've been to Puerto Rico for a deserved rest...


...and had an amazing flight to Toronto to which I was the commander!

Looking forward for my next trip. Air, land or sea, what I want is to travel! :-)

So after my educational trip, I went back to Kiwiland. There i met Tom, nice guy!

We decide to make a tour through New Zealand.

Paris- La cité de l'amouurrrrr

Hello!
Sophie (you remember her from Grenoble) brought me this weekend to show me her city!

So upon arrival, I was able to see the Eiffel Tower by night with the European Community symbol due to the current European French Presidency.


I try to find out if some other tourists were also visiting Paris and buying mini-Eiffel towers in order to find my next destination, but is not easy... so I decided to know Paris a little better.

We took the subway (it doesn't seem, but this city is huge!!!) to get a drink somewhere and on the next day I saw the Champs- Élysées and the Arc du Triomphe :D

ah! And I met Sophie's father.

And I also met Olivier and there was a small fury thing trying to communicate with us, but we couldn't understand a word...


Someone promised me another country in one month, so... stay tunned!

Relaxing on the slopes

Hi!
Remember Yves-Pol and Cyril from Grenoble !?
They took me on a ski trip, to get to know the mountains. First we went to Prapoutel (Les 7 Laux station).


They are just crazy!!! We were skiing on a middle of a snow storm.


Visibility was almost none.


Pedro joined us, got covered with ice, and got the flu! I just hope
its not the kind that can be passed to nice rats like me ;)


And finally, the beautiful landscape at St. Pierre en Chartreuse!
(with some better weather)


If you had to think of the two most popular cities in the World, which would you think of? Well, Sophie will take me to one of them!! See you all there!
