Here there was a lot of curiosity.. Latin Dance? what's that? well, I'd better go and find out, remember I had far too many students that very first day, I loved it!!!
Et bien, mais ce Monsieur Cardenas la, il fait que voyager en Chine ou est-ce qu'il fait une autre chose aussi? Ce sont des questions que probablement vous vous posez regulierement, et bien, moi, je vais vous repondre: De la premiere annee, je me suis dit, etant donne que j'ai quand meme un peu de temps... ...mais oui, je travaille que 18 heures par semaine et en plus il me faut preparer seulement deux lessons: d'une part, Ecriture et Lecture, et de l'autre c'est que de l'oral, donc, ca me libere de temps pour lire des livres, regarder des films -je [View Full Entry]

National Day
National Day
As it was one of their national days, we found lots of flags everywhere. check it out, since last year, the flag day is to be celebrated on 3rd August.
As you can see, these summer holidays were very active for me and my family. After the fantastic San Andres, I then visited one of my uncles in Valencia, and we then had the chance to see some beautiful cities of our brother country, Venezuela. Our visit to Chavez's native land had always been put off as it was difficult to leave my brothers and sisters in one of my very short holidays; but this time, we -my parents and I- made sure that the trip became a reality and off we went to the border. As it happens, We entered [View Full Entry]

Et oui, enfin... another opportunity for me to show you another lovely spot of our beautiful Colombia, for that, I don't hesitate, you see, I would like to stop people taking depressive pictures of our country. So, here I go, I hope you enjoy it. At last, I was able to go and visit the archipielago of San Andres, our beautiful Caribbean island which is located 720 kms northwest from our lovely Colombian northern coast and 90 miles off the eastern coastline of Nicaragua -remember that!. UNESCO identified our beautiful island as a World Biosphere Reserve. This time, my trip was [View Full Entry]

My lunch

Well, folks, my holidays did not go as usually planned and I luckily ended up staying one day in Los Angeles; thought it would be a shame not to let you know, so here I am, writing another entry on a non planned visit to LA, which I enjoyed very much. First, you know how impatient I am, but life is currently teaching me that sometimes things happen because there is always a reason... I remember how anxious I was due to a one-hour delay on my Guangzhou-LA flight, how angry I was that all my planned flight schedule was about [View Full Entry]

and also very eager to know a bit about their culture, the only thing I knew was that our ways of greeting are very different indeed. I wanted to learn more.
Hi my friends, remember me? the lovely Colombian is still in Asia working and travelling when he can; this time, you are about to learn what I was up to during the Golden Week. What? you don't know what that is... (Sorry about the photos, the comments were deleted last year due to a sudden network crash, I promise I will write other captions eventually). Definition of a Golden Week A week off that the Chinese government has decided to give to people in order to enhance tourism in China. The concept is wonderful, isn't it? but is there any [View Full Entry]

Does it ring a bell, it just made me think of this lovely European country and its picturesque little houses. That's the outside, by the way, not in the park itself.
Well, now I'm inviting you to travel virtually, what? haven't you heard this one before? what I mean is that even though I didn't go to all the places you're about to see in the photos below, the fact is, I went to a place where replicas of those famous tourist spots are found. 'Hey Frank, does it mean you saved both money and time while travelling the world?' -that's what you might ask, and then I should reply:) 'Well, not exactly but now I see it as an opportunity to satisfy some of my hunger for journeying and get [View Full Entry]

As soon as we arrived in the Theme Park, we were led on a tour of the coffee museum and plantations. Here a showcase of the balcony architecture which is very popular in Colombia.
Then, I went to Colombia (ColOmbia not Columbia for those who still make the mistake:), I forgive you, but please don't do it again:) where, after the Silk Road experience, I started a process of detox. yeah, the doctor I saw, who incidentally was my sister's boss, did not hesitate to put me on an endless course of antibiotics, sniff.. not fair!!! what do you reckon? first of all, he told me there were no parasites (whew!!!) and he also said this uncomfortable state of health was commonly known as the Traveller's Diarrhea, so far, no reason for taking pills, [View Full Entry]
