NYC
What a beautiful picture... That's what I see every morning when I go to work for the past week. This is where I belong, the city. Not NYC per se, but a city nonetheless. In November alone, I have been in Paris, London, Bruxelles and New York City. I can't get enough of it and every day I work towards making the permanent move. You know what I did today? At lunch, I walked three blocks on Park St and went to L'Express. I had Terrine de foie gras, Rillettes de lapin, salad with mustard vinaigrette, topped off with a glass of Bordeaux. Really? I love the city. I'm here until Sunday and will keep blogging the pics from my phone, but honestly, that's only a glimpse of what life is like among 18 million people coexisting on an island. Amazing. Tomorrow is Black Wednesday, the biggest bar night of the year. Pictures to follow but it should be fun how NYC parties on the best night of the year. I never thought I would say this, I can't wait to go to work tomorrow.

Vacation
Hi all,
I know it's been a while since my last post but I was on vacation/work in Europe. I have lots of pictures to put up. I need to go through them and choose some of the key ones but we got some good ones. So while I was gone something big happened here in the States, the Election. Obama won, with the 6 hour difference (actually 5 since I was in London that day) I didn't find out until the next morning when I woke up. Let's just say that it was just as big over there than it was here. Newstand, newspapers, Obama everywhere! Even though I couldn't vote, I'm happy about the outcome, now let's keep on living and see if the Changes happen. As of today, Hillary might be the Secretary of State... Could things get any better? Now I just need to follow up on my morning podcasts to make sure the PS* goes through as planned in France. Damien, I'm behind you and wish you luck. I'll get back into the routine soon but I'm going to NYC Saturday for a week and a half so no clue how that's going to turn out, I'm taking my laptop with me but either way I have my phone.
Will let you know how the Macy's Parade goes (Sister is in it ;)

65mpg? And it's not a Hybrid? Only in Europe
That's a pretty cool looking car. Seats 5 people, nav system, premium wheels, it's a ford, 65 mpg... hybrid? nope. Diesel. Can you have it? nope. Unless you move to Europe. That's right, Ford out of all people are selling cars that get amazing gas mileage without being an ugly hybrid! Just not in US. Why? no market. I cannot believe in this day an age a country as developped as the United States only has 3% of their population owning diesel cars versus 50% in Europe. I could not make up a better example of a country run by greed and it's corporations. Or maybe it's the peoples fault, after all Ford made this car for the European market, they must have higher demands than americans over there. Or maybe they demand the same standards, but unlike americans they actually vote for them.
Carpooling
I Carpooled again today and I got to tell you, when I look left and right on the road I feel like I'm the only one doing it. There must be thousands of cars everday on the road when I go to work and I never see more than one person in the car... I don't get it. The good news is that we're not running out of complaints that the fuel price is going up. Elevator talks used to be about the weather, now it goes something like "god, did you see the price of gas today?" DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! I only use my car twice a week to go to work and that's sharing it with 2 other people. Hopefully the bus shuttle will run until 6pm soon and I'll be able to take the bus everyday of the week. Just another way americans are different, they would rather complain about their SUV than lose social status by riding public transport.
