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!

Ohhh the French Alps!

I arrived to Grenoble, the door to the Alps. Surrounded by three mountains (the Vercors, the Chartreuse and the Belledonne) the city is concentrated on the valley, and astonishingly is one of the flattest cities of France.


I met Yves-Pol, that although is French, considers itself a Breton (they are very proud of their fighting capabilities against the Romans :p). Also the Italian Valentina, and the French Sophie and Cyril. You can only see my eyes in this picture, but I'm there alright ;)


Brzzz.... its really cold at night on this city!! The best way to fight the cold is to eat some really energetic dishes, especially Fondue.

Vive le fromage!! (you can't see me here, I'm inside the cheese pot)

Although I'm a cheese loving rat, these guys eat industrial quantities of fondue. I needed to relax a little, and we found a very nice place to smoke a Narguilé.

WAAAZZUUPPP!!

I flew to Asia and saw Bagdad from the sky

Hey!
After the European experience, I came to Asia, to visit the place
where almost half of the South Koreans live: Seoul, the 3rd largest
metropolitan area. That's a lot of Korean people!

There Pedro introduced me to Nguyen from Vietnam, Jefferson from
Brazil and Andriy from Germany.


We also visited the emperor's Changdeok Palace and the Biwon Garden :)
And of course the taste of the local cuisine, in a very typical Korean
restaurant :) (eheh! Try to find me in this picture ;))


Besides the local dishes, I also loved the White Rice Wine. It looks
like milk, but after a while gets you to sing karaoke until 4am :p

A passage through the small streets market, where you can find bargains.


And of course the Seoul Tower! On the top of the hill right on the
center of the city.


And a small walk through the city to find some bizarre sculptures...


Hey, there's my plane! Gotta catch yet another flight, a new destination is awaiting me :-)))


Maybe this time they'll let me take a picture of Bagdad from inside the plane...

Scandinavia

Hell Yeah, Life Rocks!!!

I'll try to be short 'cause posting in this blog takes a lot longer than I can spend in terms of time these days. I'll try to give you a flashback what have the latest months been like...

So I met Nokas in Lisbon and she took me to the scandinavian countries. Plus Denmark!


Here I am in the Ice Bar in Stockholm.


Say 'hi' to Mattias, from Stockholm's Pizza Hut.


Here I am with King Gustav in Gothenburg.


Here's me and the Little 'Hot' Mermeid in Copenhagen.


Here is me, Arven, the rat, at Oslo's Vicking Museum!

Gotta go, see you soon! :-)

"Bir dilek tut" = " make a wish" = name of a non-profit association supporting very ill children in Turkey.
I flew from Istanbul to Siirt with Pierre .( very remote town close to the Iraqi boundary )
Unfortunally everyone was very sad because it was the last flight planned to this destination.
Güle güle ! ( bye bye !)

Nono the Bimbo in Argentina




Before starting the trip in Argentina, Andrea and myself decided to take a rest at the airport, in Buenos Aires. People thought Andrea was my boyfriend even if we were with Sara. Poor Sara. That's a pity My sex appeal is too high :p















We were thirsty and that's why we decided to fill our plastic bottles in Igazu. It was so beautiful !!











As the waterfalls were too far away to fill in our bottles, we flew to Salta to have a glass of wine or else something too drink... with alcohol of course ;)







We were in a restaurant and we ate blade, we drank Argentina beer - Quilmes- and
we looked the band playing traditional music






We took the train and went to"the Fire Place" ( La Tierra del Fuego in spanish) and more particularly to the famous capital called Ushuaia!!! It is the southernmost city in the world. We were so close from the South Pole !!!








We took again an airplane an we finally went to El Calafate to see the glacier Perito Moreno. This icefield is the world's third largest reserve of fresh water and it s still growing !!

See u soon :p

High time in Miami.

And here I am!!!
right

I was in Miami and I was high. Now I may be the traveler who has been to the highest spot. From the top of the skyscraper, I could almost see the whole world (I discovered that unfortunately the Earth is not flat).

But I have vertigo so I had to go back to the ocean level and had a ride in a boat. It was quite nice even though I felt like puking again. You know pigs prefer to touch the ground and be in the mud.













Afterward, I could go shopping and shopping and shopping again in Brickell Avenue. Yes the U.S. are the perfect place for the consumerism society. I tried to behave like the people around. At Macys, I bought some hot clothes but I won't show them here. This is not a website for adults only! (even if it's true that I travel naked with just my necklace)



Thanks a lot Veronica.



I'll miss you. Sniff! Sniff! :'(
Besos
